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 as "SSB4", is the fourth installment 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. 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.
Kid Icarus Series
Pit 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, Pit will now utilize some of his other weapons, including the Upperdash Arm and the Guardian Orbitars. In addition, the Wings of Icarus have been updated to resemble more like the Power of Flight, allowing him to fly faster in a diagonal direction rather than straight up.
A 3DS-exclusive stage inspired by Kid Icarus: Uprising has also been revealed. Although its name is currently unknown, this stage is based on the setting of Chapter 11 of the game, Viridi, Goddess of Nature. It depicts the war between humans over the Wish Seed, with players fighting atop the ruins of a castle. At some point, Viridi herself appears, and a Reset Bomb will drop from the heavens, completely changing the landscape into the Reset Bomb Forest. It's currently unknown if the structure of the stage itself will be impacted by this change. A Wii U-exclusive stage was also shown, and seems to be inspired by Palutena's Temple, but little is currently known.
The X Bomb appears as an item, drawing inspiration from both Kid Icarus: Uprising and Meteos. Also, a trophy of Phosphora is confirmed to appear.
