I have to warn you right now, we're spoiling two new playable fighters, so if you want to come into the new Smash Brothers totally clean well... good luck with that! It appears that the Wii U version is going with a style closer to previous Smash Brothers games (but in glorious HD), while the 3DS version is shooting for a more cell-shaded style?


New to the roster are "Villager" from Animal Crossing and Mega Man from, well, Mega Man!!! Oh man. I can already tell you that the second one is going to be one of my main fighters.

Both Smash Brothers games are due in 2014.

Check out the trailer below and stay tuned for more details!

I guess Mega Man isn't in this trailer...is it the original Mega Man or the X version?

This is really awesome. When I saw Mega Man I just about lost it. That aside, it pretty much looks as expected--a slicker version of Brawl--and that's fine for Smash. Definitely can't wait for this one, and the newcomer reveal at the end is already one of my favorite E3 moments ever! (so much better than Snake )







He's also in the 3DS version!

He's in the Spirit Tracks train stage as a conductor in the 3DS version.

HAHA!

I still stand by that being a Punch Out!! stage. The audience reminds me of a Punch Out!! audience (heck, even DK is in the pic ).

Seven more spots? When you click on a character and go to the bottom where you can select another, there's seven open spaces.

Hm, yeah. I just figured it's because they have "pages" of characters with 9 per page, and they'd gradually add more and more. At least, I certainly hope there're more than 18 characters in the game!

Interesting note--there are 3DS screens of everyone (including Mega Man) but not Villager. Villager Wii U exclusive character?

Seeing Megaman pop up at the end made me cheer, really thrilled he's jumping in! He's a perfect fit!

EDIT: And good ol' Rush being there makes me so happy! I love you, Rush! *childhood dreaming*

I really hope they don't do exclusive characters. At the moment I see little reason to get the 3DS version, and exclusive characters is a cheap way of forcing people into both.

Seeing old Mega Man in his old school glory with the epic MM2 theme playing and using Metal Blades just makes me all happy inside.

I really wish the graphics of the 3DS game were the Wii U game, it looks great and the perfect style for Smash Brothers! Unfortunately, the Wii U version looks like Brawl, except maybe not quite as dark, but still, it's way too sterile. Plus, every stage looked like Brawl!

Not a good sign, not a good sign at all...

I'm absolutely puzzled on why this game looks no better than Brawl. I was expecting something a lot more exciting, especially for a fighter. This should look amazing. Mega Man is cool and all but the Animal Crossing villager is a little snoozey. I hope Professor E-Gad is in there. He'd be a cool addition to the roster.

I dunno about you but the cut scenes look a lot better to me if anything. The game itself looks like Brawl in HD though. Hopefully they'll improve that or change the style
