Masahiro Sakurai, the director of the Super Smash Bros series, revealed at the CEDEC developer conference this week that the next Smash Bros game for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS will feature lots of new and exciting moves for existing characters. Sakurai also mentioned earlier this week that the game will have a bunch of new characters.

Hope so. So many trophy characters in the games I want to be playable.

new moves and new characters! SHOCKING!!!
maybe there will also be some new stages!!!
that would be MIND-BLOWING!!!!

Well, I also recall them saying there will be less characters overall. Would be pretty awesome though if some unlockable characters are exclusive to the portable/home console versions.

(as long as Ganondorf is in one of them =)

I hope Lucas returns this time around!!

Why wouldn't he return?

The same reason Mewtwo didn't return.

lots? :/ I don't want to have to re-learn everything...

This sounds amazing. Hopefully with Namco Bandai developing it the game will have a new, fresher feel. I also hope they launc the game before 2020.

N-B is doing little more than the grunt-work to my knowledge, like the degree to which Game Arts "made" Brawl.
