Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, known in Japan as Dairantō Sumasshu Burazāzu fō Nintendō Surī Dī Esu / Wī Yū (大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズ), also known popularly by fans as Super Smash Bros. 4 or SSB4, is the fourth instalment in the Super Smash Bros. series published by Nintendo. As the first game in the series to appear on two platforms, it is being developed by Sora Ltd. in collaboration with Namco Bandai Games. Although both games will feature identical character rosters and basic modes of play, there will be notable differences between the two versions, including exclusive stages. The 3DS version will feature stages inspired by handheld games, while the Wii U version will have stages based on console titles. According to the game's director, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS will be more focused on the individualized experience while the Wii U version will be primarily multiplayer-focused, as with previous Smash Bros. titles.

Playable Characters

Pit: The angel returns as a playable character in this game, with an updated look and moveset based on his appearance in Kid Icarus: Uprising. While Palutena's Arrow remains as his neutral special move, all of this other specials, including his Final Smash, have been changed. Pit will now utilize the Upperdash Arm as his new side special, the Guardian Orbitars as his new down special, and the Power of Flight as his new up special. His Final Smash is now the Three Sacred Treasures.

Palutena: It was revealed in a trailer at E3 2014 that Palutena will be a newly-added playable character. Many of her moves are based off of various powers that appeared in Uprising. Palutena is also one of the few characters to have 12 completely unique specials that can be altered through customization.

Dark Pit: Dark Pit was leaked through a user's Twitch channel who managed to get a copy of the 3DS game early. He is an unlockable newcomer and can be obtained by playing Classic Mode three times, or playing 50 Vs. matches. He is a clone of Pit, but has a few unique moves and properties.

Trivia

  • Pit and Dark Pit's dodging sound effects are the same as heard in Kid Icarus: Uprising.
  • Palutena and Dark Pit have unique victory lines when winning against each other one-on-one, which they will say occasionally:
    • Palutena against Pit: "Oh, so sorry about that Pit."
    • Palutena against Dark Pit: "Poor little Pittoo."
    • Dark Pit against Pit: "Where's your goddess now!?"
  • Dark Pit has two different lines when performing his Final Smash which both can be heard during gameplay. One of them has him saying, "It's time!", but for an unknown reason this is left out from his Sound Test, and only, "Goodbye!", is listed.
  • Antony Del Rio, the voice actor of Pit and Dark Pit, is the only returning cast member from Kid Icarus: Uprising. He was also not credited for his roles.
