DETAILS -Releasing simultaneously on the Wii U and 3DS (but we already knew that). -The two will have the same library of characters but different stages. -The models in the 3DS version are also slightly cel-shaded and have black outlines; according to Sakurai, this is to make the characters easier to see on the 3DS' smaller screen. -By contrast, on the Wii U version, the models are more cartoony and less detailed than they were in Melee and Brawl. However, the HD makes the game's bright colors look great. -Gameplay is to be between Melee's fast-paced action and Brawl's more casual approach. -Changes to past characters: Samus is modeled after her Other M appearance; Pit has new moves based on his weapons in Kid Icarus: Uprising; Bowser has a more upright stance and is a bit faster. -It was said that the 3DS version will focus more on single player and online play, while the Wii U version will focus more on local multiplayer (that is not to say that the Wii U version won't have online play). -In a past interview, Sakurai mentioned that the roster size may have reached its limit with Brawl, and he may instead focus on other aspects of the game in the new entry(ies).
This game is already looking great. I am SO happy that Megaman is finally in Smash Bros., after being shafted in Brawl. And while at first I was skeptical of her, I am really starting to like Wii Fit Trainer more and more. Plus, she's a barefoot fighter (since her line of work requires it), so that's a win for us here (too bad she is literally white as snow, but I'm sure there will be an alternate color for her that gives her flesh-colored skin and brown hair).
There's also a rumor (the same rumor that correctly predicted the three newcomers above before they were revealed) that Little Mac from Punch Out!!, the player's Mii, and Pac-Man will also be in the game. Not as excited for the last two, but Little Mac is well-deserving is that is true.
