Lets Talk: Super Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS

  Good afternoon, everyone. I suppose it's time to talk about the new Super Smash Bros. coming in 2014.




  Here are obviously some screenshots of both of the games. You can see in the 3DS version that Pit is a bit pixelated and stands out quite a bit from the background. In the 3DS version, lines were put around all the characters so you can easily see them from the detailed backgrounds. Though of course in the Wii U version no line is needed. Both versions have the same characters, but different stages. The stages correspond to the game system so 3DS has 3DS or DS game based stages and same for Wii U.

  A list of characters:

  • Mario
  • Luigi
  • Donkey Kong
  • Pit
  • Samus
  • Fox
  • Olimar
  • Bowser
  • Pikachu
  • Link
  • Kirby
  And also the new characters: Villager (Animal Crossing), Mega Man, and Wii Fit Trainer (Wii Fit).



  Stages for 3DS:
  • Battlefield 
  • Gerudo Valley 
  • Spirit Train
  • Arena Ferox
  • Mushroom Kingdom, DK, and Nintendog stage have not been named yet
  Stages for Wii U:
  • Battlefield
  • Skyloft
  • Smashville
  • Dr. Wily's Lair
  • Boxing Arena stage has not been named yet
 Also, cutscenes in this game have been taken out. Read this article for further information: Article 

  Has anyone else been enjoying the memes made from the Wii Fit Trainer and Villager?

Wii U Review

  Greetings, fellow gamers. This is only a small review about the Wii U, so lets get started.

  First of all, lets discuss the design:





  Looks very smooth and shiny. It's a bit bigger than the Wii, but not by much. The console is shown to be laid on its side though you can prop it up like the Wii. Overall, it has a very nice and convenient design. A downside is that the plugs are not too versatile. Although you can use the Wii plug that connects to the TV for the Wii U if you don't have HDMI, like myself. Using that method changes the gaming quality. Another negative is that the Wii U doesn't have an area where you can plug in GameCube remotes or memory cards. So obviously you cannot play GameCube games on this console unless you hack it. The Wii U also doesn't support the Wii channels or WiiConnect24.

  Time for the remote's design:




  It's slightly on the bulky side, but that is to be expected. The screen is wide enough for gameplay and the cool thing is that sometimes you don't even need to use the TV screen to play a game. You can watch TV while playing a game. I see that as a win-win situation. But anyways, the remote also comes with a stand, stylus, and with a plug to recharge it. Thankfully you don't have to keep adding batteries to it like the Wii remote (unless you have a rechargeable battery for that).

  The games itself have a clean and clear view filled with amazing details and 3D design.

  I hope this small review helped anyone who has been teetering back and forth on whether or not you want to buy this console. What are your opinions on the Wii U?     - Dany
