Super Smash Bros. for Wii U (大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズ for Wii U, Great Fray Smash Brothers for Wii U) is one of two games in the Super Smash Bros. series released as part of the Super Smash Bros. 4 pair, and the home console counterpart to Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. Although most gameplay elements are shared between the two versions, there are several elements which distinguish the two.

The game is playable on the Wii U with a variety of controller options, including the Wii U GamePad, the Wii U Pro Controller, the GameCube controller via an adapter, and a Nintendo 3DS that is running the 3DS version or a special app.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U was officially released on November 21, 2014 in the Americas, and was followed by Europe on November 28, 2014, Australia and New Zealand on November 29, 2014, and Japan on December 6, 2014.

Features of the Wii U version

  • The Wii U version is compatible with a set of amiibo figurines utilizing the Wii U GamePad and near field communication. By using their respective figurine, players can give an AI character custom moves and level them up to level 50. The game is the first to utilize the GamePad's NFC function under the amiibo branding.
  • The Wii U version lacks the optional dark outlines around playable characters present in the 3DS version, though still has the colored outlines for team battles.
  • The Wii U version features different collectible trophies than the 3DS version, with a greater focus on elements from home console games.
  • The Wii U version sees the return of Brawl's My Music option, with a large selection of tracks available for each stage.
  • The Wii U version supports off TV play.
  • Three exclusive new modes: Special Orders, 8-Player Smash, and Smash Tour.
  • The Trophy Box is exclusive to the Wii U version.
  • Ness, Jigglypuff, Ganondorf and Bowser Jr. are default characters, unlike in the 3DS version.

Demo

A demo of the Wii U version is available at retail stores with a Wii U kiosk. It features the entire starting roster of characters and stages, but like its 3DS counterpart, is locked to two minute time matches with items on for normal stages but turned off for Ω stages.

Trivia

  • This is the first time where Greninja, Dark Pit, Lucina, Robin, and Corrin appear on a home console.
  • Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is the first game in the series not to be released first in Japan.
  • Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is currently the Wii U's fastest selling title, surpassing the previous holder of the title, Mario Kart 8. In North America alone, Nintendo sold over 490,000 digital and physical copies of the game in three days.
    • Sales of the Gamecube Bundle and Adapter were so popular in the United States that there was an immediate shortage of the Adapter upon launch of the game, leading to significantly inflated prices from online dealers; at one point, Amazon.com featured prices in excess of $110 USD for the Adapter.
  • This is the first game in the series where all 12 characters from the original Super Smash Bros. are starters.
  • The game's Japanese release date happens to coincide with the birthday of late Nintendo president Satoru Iwata.
    • November 21st, the game's North American release date, was also the release date of Super Smash Bros. Melee in Japan.
  • Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is the first game since the original to lack a new stage from the F-Zero and EarthBound universes.
  • This is the first game in the series where there is only one way to hear a character's Star KO scream (outside the Sound Test).
