Combined, the game will most definitely top the previous games in the series, and any other 8th gen fighter.

Smash Bros. is a huge, system-selling franchise. I'd expect GCN level sales for the Wii U version -- around 7 or 8 million -- and about 5 million for the 3DS version. There are going to be a lot of people who want both versions.

So my guess is roughly 12 million.

It's coming on the 3DS and the Wii U. I am sure this is going to sell more than brawl! I say 13 million+ lifetime!


Of course it will! 3DS+Wii U should reach or surpass Wii numbers, and there's the fact that many people will be buying both versions. 8-10m for 3DS version and 5-7m for Wii U is what I'm expecting!

Who knows. Nintendo IPs aren't doing to crash hot on the Wii U atm.


there arent that many ip's yet, pikmin 3 isn't doing to bad, its over 500k for a system that is selling like ****!

 

SSB will do very well regardless, and 3ds might do better, there wont be a fighter that'll sell close this gen imo


0.5M for a Japanese game that's released on a system that has virtually no game. It's decent but not good enough.

Is SSB cross-buy?

it is good especially considering its been out for less than 4 months. Anyway no its not cross buy, there not even the same game. Nintendo isn't Sony lol


So, in other words, the 3DS will be a watered-down port?



what are you talking about? That sounds very ridiculous right there. 3DS and WiiU are completely different in power. Besides that i meant they will play a little different. They have completely different stages, its not a port. You saying that obviously shows you dont kno wat your talking about! Dont be mad SSB will be the best selling fighter again for the 3rd generation!

They will play a little different, huh? Sure you're not making that up?

And since when does different stages means different game?

No im not making that up, and yes they are different. Halo 3 and Halo ODST are different right? 

Seperate sales they'll outsell all fighting games most likely next gen.

Yeah, those Halo games are different because they are actually different. You still haven't said how they will play differently.

They wont play differently. They'll be the same as every other entry in the series in terms of core gameplay mechanics, which is definitely a good thing.

Is Same fighting Mechanics but 3DS version has customization (which Director stated), Entirely different art style, Different Stages, Different Title, Different Experience as this is the first time you dont nessacirily have to share the same screen, and wat ever else is not announced. These games will be as different as COD BLOP and COD BLOP2. Very similar yet different. They are not the same exact game like PSASBR is with the ps3 vs vita version

Character customisation? What can you customise? I'm very curious about that.

Artstyle? It just means that the 3DS version won't look as good as the Wii U version. Sakurai said so himself:

And, different stages means different game, huh? I suppose when I change stage in a fighting game I'm playing another game...

The stages in smash bros are game mechanics^
The game is about chaos and managing that chaos while you stuff the shit outta your friends in a fighting match.
