Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS (Japanese: 大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズ for Nintendo 3DS Great Melee Smash Brothers for Nintendo 3DS) and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U (Japanese: 大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズ for Wii U Great Melee Smash Brothers for Wii U) are a pair of fighting video games for Nintendo's eighth-generation video game consoles, the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, which together comprise the fourth entry in Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. series of crossover fighting games pitting characters from Nintendo's various franchises against each other. The two are due for release at an unspecified date in 2014.
As with its predecessors, Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the two games will feature characters and settings from the Fire Emblem series alongside those of other Nintendo franchises.
Characters
Of the thirty-six known playable characters, a total of four playable characters from the Fire Emblem series have been confirmed for the two versions so far, a number matched or surpassed only by Nintendo heavyweight series Mario, The Legend of Zelda and Pokémon.
Confirmed playable cast
Characters making their Super Smash Bros. debut in these two games are listed in bold.
It has been confirmed that characters can no longer change into other characters in the middle of matches. Sheik and Zero Suit Samus have been separated from Zelda and Samus, now acting as independent characters, and Charizard is now his own character no longer tied to the Pokémon Trainer.
Returning Fire Emblem characters
- Marth is playable once again, confirmed in Masahiro Sakurai's "pic of the day" post on November 7th, 2013;[2] this marks his third Super Smash Bros. appearance. His appearance has undergone a significant overhaul from Brawl: he is no longer based on his Super Smash Bros. Melee redesign and instead appears as he did in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and New Mystery of the Emblem. He was the only Fire Emblem character playable in the E3 2014 demo builds of the two games.
- Ike is playable for the second time, confirmed in a "pic of the day" post on May 23rd, 2014.[3] Like Marth, his design has also been revised, now based on his three-years-older appearance as a Hero in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn.
Fire Emblem newcomers
Two new Fire Emblem playable characters are introduced in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, both hailing from the most recent game in the series at the time of its release, Fire Emblem Awakening. Both were revealed on July 14th, 2014, in the trailer "By Book, Blade and Crest of Flame".
- Lucina: Chrom's daughter and the tritagonist of Awakening is the first of the two newcomers. She appears to be a simple clone of Marth, as all of her attacks seen in her reveal trailer are nearly identical to his, including the special moves Dancing Blade and Dolphin Slash.
- Robin: Awakening's avatar character is the second Fire Emblem newcomer. Both male and female versions are playable, although the trailer and most promotional material focuses primarily on the male version. Robin fights using a wide variety of tomes which have limited uses and break after a time, requiring they be switched out. They also fight using swords, namely the Levin Sword and the basic Bronze Sword.
Although he is not playable, Chrom appears nonetheless as part of Robin's unnamed Final Smash.
Stages
Two Fire Emblem stages has so far been confirmed, one for each version. Each of these stages is exclusive to its specific version, as each version focuses on different games for its stages; the Nintendo 3DS version focuses on stages from hand-held games, while the Wii U version bases most of its stages on home console games.[4]
Arena Ferox
- Main article:
Arena Ferox
The Nintendo 3DS Fire Emblem stage is the Arena Ferox, from Fire Emblem Awakening. Unlike its Awakening appearance, the arena consists of a large stone platform in the middle of a deep pit, better facilitating the gameplay of Super Smash Bros. The stage periodically transforms between at least four known configurations which have different arrays of platforms above the main stage body.
One musical track is currently known to be played when in the Arena Ferox stage: "Id (Purpose)" from Awakening.[5]
Coliseum
The Coliseum (Japanese: 闘技場 Arena) is the Wii U version's Fire Emblem stage. It is a desert combat stadium based on the series' recurring combat arenas. It follows in the footsteps of the Castle Siege stage from Brawl by presenting itself as a generic amalgam of arena motifs from across the series, and is not based on any one location in particular, nor could it be given the generic status of arenas in the source material. A set of gear-driven mechanisms underneath the stage regularly raise and lower portions of the floor to create platforms and adjust the surface level of the stage.
One musical track is currently known to be played when in the Coliseum stage: "The Devoted" from Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn.[6]
Items
Assist Trophies
Lyn will return as a non-playable character who can be summoned using an Assist Trophy item.[1]
Collectibles
Trophies
One Fire Emblem-themed trophy has been confirmed so far.
- Tiki (Fire Emblem Awakening depiction)[1]
Fire Emblem reveal trailer
By Book, Blade and Crest of Flame (Japanese: 剣と魔法と炎の紋章 Blade, Magic and the Fire Emblem) is a Fire Emblem-centric trailer for Super Smash Bros. which first debuted as a live streaming event on the Super Smash Bros. website on July 14th, 2014. Revealing both Robin and Lucina as new playable characters, as well as confirming the return of F-Zero character Captain Falcon, it was the eighth in a series of similar trainers introducing newcomers to the series. Like its predecessors it is divided into two parts: a unique animated introduction segment introducing the two characters, followed by a demonstration of the two characters in action in actual Super Smash Bros. gameplay; the animated introduction was animated by the studio anima, who were previously responsible for the cutscenes in Awakening.[7]
The trailer opens in the Arena Ferox as Lucina duels with Captain Falcon to protect her father, Chrom, who is seen severely wounded presumably after being defeated by Falcon. Despite her trouble keeping up with Captain Falcon's power, Lucina resolves to keep fighting and lunges at Falcon, who deflects her blow and knocks her off balance with a kick. Before Falcon can unleash a Falcon Punch to finish her off, he is interrupted by a blast of Elwind from above. The blast is revealed to come from Robin, who slowly descends from above and brandishes his Levin Sword to engage Falcon in battle.
The gameplay segment mostly focuses on introducing Robin's unique playstyle and variety of usable tomes, before moving onto a brief introduction of Lucina which demonstrates her status as a clone of Marth. The segment concludes with Lucina and Robin confronting Marth and Ike, cutting to the game's logo. After the logo, a further segment reveals that, despite his own doubts that he would ever get a chance to participate, Chrom will still appear as part of Robin's Final Smash and that a female version of Robin is also playable.
Trivia
- Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS marks the first and only time any Fire Emblem content has appeared on the box art for a Super Smash Bros. game, with Marth himself making an appearance.
