Super Smash Bros. for Wii U (大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズ for Wii U, Dairantō Sumasshu Burazāzu for Wii U) is one of two games in the Super Smash Bros. series being 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 will be 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 official adapter, and the Nintendo 3DS by connecting the 3DS and Wii U versions.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U will be released during the holiday season of 2014.
