A leaked document may have the answer.

If this indistinct and blurry picture is any indication, the upcoming Wii U installment of the popular fighting game will be called Super Smash Bros. Universe. In the logo, note that the "U" in "Universe" matches the "U" in the "Wii U" logo.

That cutesy cross-promotional logo vibe has Nintendo written all over it, so we're betting this is legit. World record attempt makers had best plan on a Wii U purchase.

by lightbright32 Tuesday, September 20, 2011 at 06:07 PM

wait possibly online 4 a nintendo system no way
by badantjoka4k Tuesday, September 20, 2011 at 06:08 PM

Hope it's not a cheesy Wii-U cash in. Sound like multiplayer will be a big thing or there will be a lot more characters
by Senku Tuesday, September 20, 2011 at 06:08 PM

Please Nintendo, add more characters that aren't lame clones. Also, Megaman for SSBU!
by Super CoreyO Tuesday, September 20, 2011 at 06:09 PM

I don't care if it's called Super Smash Bros. Poo. I'd still buy it.
by Blake Tuesday, September 20, 2011 at 06:10 PM

This what Nintendo needs to have for launch if they want to get the Wii-U off the ground right away. They need their big franchises ready when this thing launchs.

Universe?? Its an MMO for Smash bros!! trolol
by Thomwebbe Tuesday, September 20, 2011 at 06:12 PM

I can see how that works with the Wii U's 'U'
by Mray901 (スネークイーター) Tuesday, September 20, 2011 at 06:13 PM

Eh, makes sense to me. Though "Universe" implies vastness, greatness, etc., so there had better be good online play and a ton of characters.
by Sean Hutchinson Tuesday, September 20, 2011 at 06:13 PM

Dag, my money was on Super Smash Bros. Fighty Punchy Fun Time.
by Zero Tuesday, September 20, 2011 at 06:13 PM

Supah Smash Brothers...

UNIVEEEEEERSE!!!

So then the question is, who's getting added to further blow up the universe?
by Boyzby Tuesday, September 20, 2011 at 06:14 PM

Oh, how cute. I see what you did there, Nintendo. :P
One fighter I would like to see added in this game is Yarn Kirby. I mean, there's Link and Toon Link. Why not? Maybe some Paper Mario characters too. Heck, I'll just make a big list and keep dreaming.
by The_M1sta_PoPo Tuesday, September 20, 2011 at 06:16 PM

.......and now i have to buy a Wii U. fantastic.

They need to add more character, none of which are palette swaps. Like Fox/Falco and Ness/Lucas are WAY too similar. Hopefully they add someone cool, like Kamek or someone. Cause how cool would it be to play as Kamek???

Also, considering DBZ is not made by microsoft or sony....they should at least add Goku. or better yet, Mr. Popo. derpderpderpderpderp

what i thought that it was comming for the 3ds also?
by Skai76 Tuesday, September 20, 2011 at 06:17 PM

hmm i thought it would be Super Smash Bros. Attack!!!
by A Snack of Garflesnode Tuesday, September 20, 2011 at 06:19 PM

We called the others Melee or Brawl for short. Now what?
by Ocarina Fanatic Tuesday, September 20, 2011 at 06:20 PM

I don't know about this, it looks like a recolor with universe slapped on there. But who knows, maybe it's just a place holder.
by Jack Gardner Tuesday, September 20, 2011 at 06:20 PM

sigh....
by linkinparklady12 Tuesday, September 20, 2011 at 06:20 PM

Not sure if I like the name, I kinda thought they would stick with the theme they had for Melee and Brawl, both words are related to fights. But ofcourse I'm still getting it because it's Super Smash Bros!!!
by PRjumpman124 Tuesday, September 20, 2011 at 06:21 PM

Universe... perhaps it means that there will be a wider diversity of characters. All I know is I'm getting this game the day it comes out.
