A really good direct! ZS Samus was a nice addition (in so many ways) and the same with Shiek. Hopefully they removed Jigglypuff, witch charizard and greninja joining in there are too many pokemons imo. Both games looks great, and as long as winter 2014 means pre december 24 I'm good to go (knowing my luck it's probably not).

While so much great was shown (3ds single player mode and the online systems seemed pretty fun and good) I still felt that it lacked that Shulk to make my day.

Nontheless, I'll be going to sleep now.

The online mode sounds promising, and it's what Brawl's should have been. A way to play competitively or casually, and easily link up with friends. I like the announcement of Greninja, too--he's my main in X, after all :)

Man, I called it. I knew Smash would be their big holiday release. A new Zelda for Wii U was not happening this year. I would've been VERY surprised.

I get the logic but I still hate the release date... but the rest was fap worthy! Specially Zero Suit Samus!!!

Was a boss direct! Was not expecting either version to release in the summer, and nobody was expecting Greninja!

Cool Direct. Very informative with lots of info, good info, for Smash fans. I think the release date for WiiU was to be expected.

The game looked very good. It's very detailed and very well thought out it seems. Even a Color TV Game assist, who'd have thought that. Charizard as a playable fighter seems cool, and I like that all the transformations are seperate characters now. That survival-esque mode on 3DS looked awesome, seems like great fun. I think there's going to be another dedicated direct for Smash Bros in the future, judging by the way Sakurai talked about certain things. Probably a lot more to announce still. Characters too.

Personally, even though I have both the original on N64 and Brawl, I'm never really into Smash. This game looks very good though.

Sooo hyped, this must mean SSB wiiu has a story mode. 3DS gets the smash run! Playing SSB+MK here will be wayyy over 3-4 years without getting board!

It has appeal because it has an extremely low barrier for entry. DOA has a pretty low barrier for entry and even it requires more skill. Hate to break it to you but the top true fighting games past the 90's aren't played by many people. In the fighting realm what sells the most doesn't essentially speak the most about a game. Super Smash isn't like actual fighters so its never really mattered. Again, as long as Nintendo sells well its perfectly fine. The game serves its purpose and Nintendo is great at making different genres of party games.

Well, I think the reason for the wiiu delay, is pretty simple. They have more games coming out for this year on the 3ds, where the wiiu has almost nothing coming for the entire year. In other words, they're bringing out the 3ds version now, because they woukd otherwise have too many for the winter. The wiiu has nothing, and if they brought it out this summer too, they wouldnt have a single big winter release..... its all good here. I guarantee they will keep working on it till it releases.

Not sure what you're getting at here. Smash Bros. and Sonic Boom are prety much the only 3DS games for the second half of the year, whereas the Wii U also has Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta 2, SMTxFE, X, and Yoshi Yarn.
