At its press conference today, Nintendo announced that a new Super Smash Bros. will be on the Nintendo Revolution, and will even launch with the system! Super Smash Bros. Melee is the GameCube's best selling title to date.

Was it really mentioned in the conference?

 

[Swordian]

Yes.

 

[Wellington]

Even if it wasn't mentioned I think you can safely assume that it's 100% guaranteed. Also, there will be a Mario game and a Zelda game.

Well, Miyamoto promised online SSB at launch at the Nintendo press conference, so I'm thinking it's pretty well set.

 

[El Papa]

At the conference, Iwata said he was pushing his team to make sure that SSB was available for Revolution launch.

 

[NWO]

This shouldn't be a surprise. They've been working on this thing forever and that's why the Cube didn't see a SSBM2....that and the fact that SSBM was so good that it didn't need a sequel.

Uh, didn't I hear Iwata confirm that he was pushing the team to have it WiFi (and thus, online) enabled also? I haven't seen many people talk about that...

That's correct, yes.

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

Wow. So, at launch, Revolution will have a potential Mario Kart arcade port, a Mario platformer, an orignal Zelda AND a new Smash Bros?

They're learning.

I could envision a new Mario title at launch, but definitely not a Zelda title. The Zelda team isn't finished with Twilight Princess...I doubt they could pull together a respectable Zelda game in such a short time.

this thread got surprisingly low responses. A new SSB for Revolution and wifi online for launch is great news.

It was Iwata. But otherwise correct.

Indeed. That will keep me busy at launch.

I agree, you don't launcha console with Zelda, although I'm not sure whether there's a 'Zelda team' that only does Zelda. Zelda should be the crowning jewel, which is what Twilight Princess might prove to be for GC. Mario is the one for new ideas. And I think Iwata talked about a new franchise by Miyamoto?

I think too many people who watched the conference today are trying to forget about it. Givem awhile and they will be back.

 

[galeninjapan]

Online Smash brothers? I think I just jizzed myself.

What is wifi online going to do for me? Can I play with a friend who lives down the block or even next door? I want REAL online.

It's ALSO real online.

WiFi means that it's able to connect to a wireless connection. That connection can be a hotspot that are located all over the place. (Think Starbucks.) It can be your wireless modem/router. Or it can also be another Revolution, in an ad-hoc kind of way. (Not sure about the last one...)

SSBM is soooo good that this thing online has sold me despite the abismal showing of the rev at e3 SO FAR.
