  1. I did not expect separate release dates for the 3DS and Wii U versions! I will consider the 3DS version’s summer release date a surprise bonus.

    Highlights for me: Pong (well, Nintendo’s clone of it), custom move sets, and the Smash Run mode. Final Destination remixed with a bunch of the other stages’ themes is a really great addition as well.

    Sounds like we’ll hear more about custom move sets later, but it looks like many moves (maybe all?) will be heavily tweakable. That ought to keep the hardcore Project M types busy figuring out their perfect tournament rule balance! :^) And better yet, it should also be great fun for people like me who have fun with Smash Bros but don’t spend days training in obscure techniques and frame-perfect cancels.

    Smash Run looks like a really fun way to mix things up, and I wonder what exclusive mode might await us in the Wii U version. Is “Smash Run 3D World” dreaming too big or too small? :^)
