Bump for 8 player Smash on Wii U.
-
Oh shit, we can use 3DS as controllers? I don't have to buy more controllers!

Man that was awesome.

I'd say 8 players is all you need to know, but there was a whole of other good stuff packed in here, too.

Video doesn't work now.
Is it saved somewhere?-
It'll be on YouTube shortly. Just pissed that Mewtwo requires both games. I'd pay $1p for him alone.
-
That was supposed to be $10...
-
whoa whoa, he's in?
-
Yup, wont show up till spring.
-

-
Im hearing that's the case according to Nintendo's Twitter
-
That definitely seemed like the implication. They said owning both games gets you Mewtwo FOR FREE, which is a roundabout way of saying owning one or the other will still let you pay for him.
Nintendo was slow to step into the DLC thing, but I think they're all-in now. Mario Kart 8 and Hyrule Warriors are sure signs of things to come for Smash, Captain Toad, Smash Bros, probably future Mario platformer games.

Video was cool. Pit, Palutena, and Viridi conversations was something I was hoping they'd do, and I'm really glad that they did it, and i'm all for a better stage builder. Kind of sad that they didn't end up doing a new Subspace Emissary type mode, that board game mode doesn't scratch that same itch for me, but i'll save my opinions until I try it myself. Also, with Mewtwo as DLC, the floodgates are open for more new characters as DLC, both newcomers and veterans (Snake? SNAKE? SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE???!!!) We could also get new modes and stages, too.

how do you play with 8 players do you have to use certain controllers
-
Practically every controller that is usable on the wii u is compatible, also you can use a 3ds, also gamecube controllers.
-
In addition to the wireless controllers, Runbow showed how this can be done at IndieCade by using four Wii Remotes and attached Classic Controller Pros. It worked very well, even if it was somewhat close quarters.
-
Nintendo listed controller configurations: http://www.smashbros.com/us/howto/entry10.html
Looks like you can use up to 7 Wii remotes (plus nunchuk or classic controller) or 7 pro controllers. I didn't know the Wii U could support more than 4 at a time. You can also use 8 GCN controllers as long as you have two adapters.

That...can't be right, can it? If it's the same guy from Brawl, that would have to mean he was 15 when he worked on that game! That's nuts!

It's remarkable that so many of them sound alike.

Damn, there is a ton of content
-
I guess that puts to rest the notion that 3DS was the lead and Wii U was just a secondary thing. Over and over this presentation took the tone of, "Hey you know that mode/feature/whatever on 3DS? Well here's the WIi U version that makes the 3DS one look like a stripped down piece of shit!"
-
This also explains why it came out first, and there's such a delay between the two.
Smash 3DS is good, but it would look awful if it came out simultaneously or after. -
Did anyone really think the Wii U version would play second fiddle? Nintendo pushed the 3DS version so hard because it shipped first, and because it IS a solid version. The Wii U version has always been positioned as a system seller.

One of my only complaints about the Smash series is that it's nowhere near as interesting as a single-player game, which is how I play most of the time. Smash U looks to change that up. The amount of content Nintendo has packed into it is staggering. It's a veritable toy chest of Nintendo goodness. I'll be getting it for sure.

Yeah, SSB Brawl had a lifespan of about 2 months for me because online was broken.
