'''''Super Smash Bros. 4''''' (also referred to by shorthands such as '''''Smash 4''''', '''''SSB4''''', or more informally '''''Sm4sh''''', and officially as '''''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U''''') is a term used to collectively refer to '''{{For3ds}}''' and '''{{Forwiiu}}''', two games in the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series created by [[Namco Bandai]]<ref name="ign-namco">[http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/06/22/namco-bandai-developing-next-smash-bros IGN: "Namco Bandai Developing Next Smash Bros."]</ref> and [[Sora Ltd.]] However, in an interview with Kotaku, [[Masahiro Sakurai]] has stated he considers the ''3DS'' version the fourth installment and the ''Wii U'' version the fifth installment. The games feature mostly identical gameplay, but with several differences in other areas. The ''3DS'' version is the first game of the series to be released on a handheld.

The ''3DS'' version launched in Japan on September 13th, 2014 and in most other parts of the world on October 3rd, 2014. The ''3DS'' version was released in stores one day earlier in Germany on October 2nd, 2014 to avoid coinciding with {{S|wikipedia|German Unity Day}}, and was released one day later in Australia on October 4th, 2014 because of time zone differences. Hong Kong and Taiwan received a release of the game over 10 months later, on July 24th, 2015, while South Korea got its release on September 10th, 2015, nearly a full year after the game's initial launch in Japan. The ''Wii U'' version was released in North America on November 21st, 2014, and was released on November 28th, 2014 in Europe, November 29th, 2014 in Australia, and on December 6th, 2014 in Japan.~~SHREK~~

Both versions received positive reviews; critics applauded the fine-tuning of existing gameplay elements but criticized some issues with online play. Both versions sold quickly, with the ''3DS'' version selling over 7.37 million copies worldwide as of September 2015, and the ''Wii U'' version selling over 4.03 million copies during the same time period.
