"2014 will see the arrival of not one, but two new Super Smash Bros. games: Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. To commemorate this occasion, Nintendo is inviting 16 highly skilled Super Smash Bros. players to the NOKIA Theatre L.A. LIVE in Los Angeles to compete in a Super Smash Bros. for Wii U tournament. Thousands of fans in the audience and countless more watching a live stream online will see new Super Smash Bros. characters clash with existing favorites in action for the first time. More important than declaring a winner, however, this event is a celebration of all things Super Smash Bros., and a great way for new and veteran fans to take part in a tribute to this legendary franchise. More information about the 16 invited participants in the tournament, the identity of the announcers, and how fans of the franchise can view the tournament in person and via webcast, will be communicated shortly."

This should put an end to the speculation that "winter 2014" could mean some time in 2015.  Smash Bros. is coming to Wii U in 2014.

So they're not having a press conference, but they're renting out the NOKIA Theatre for a fucking Smash Tournament!?

Nintendo, you slick bastards.

Wait, so does this mean that there's going to be a live audience tournament? 

Yup.
