Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS
The 3DS’ dual-screen setup and touch-sensitive screen introduce some interesting possibilities for Super Smash Bros. Thanks to game director Masahiro Sakurai, we have a better idea of how they’ll be implemented.
Posting on Nintendo’s Miiverse, Sakurai shows off a highlighting feature that can allow you call out your own character (for easier tracking) or someone on which you’d like to exact revenge. The bottom screen of the 3DS will feature the status for each of the characters.
When you want to target the most vulnerable player, a quick look at the bottom screen and a tap of the stylus or finger will put you on the right track. Super Smash Bros. for 3DS will be out this summer. The Wii U version is slated for late 2014.
For the most recent information download, check out our coverage of characters from the game's most recent Nintendo Direct. You can also read up on the stages, items, and assist trophies that have been revealed.
