Super Smash Bros. (tentative title), is the upcoming fourth game in the Super Smash Bros. series. The game was confirmed at E3 2011 in June for the Nintendo 3DS and the Wii U.

Current Information

Sakurai has confirmed that development will potentially begin in October 2011, or at the very least, after he has finished development for the game Kid Icarus: Uprising.

Sakurai has stated, in response to a fan asking him about whether a "child Link" would appear in the game, that he has not currently decided on who would appear in the game. However, he has also said that he "can't say that it's entirely out of the realm of possibility that some Capcom character could appear in the next Smash Bros."

Sakurai has revealed that one feature of the 3DS Smash title will be that players can improve their character through battles and rewards, then transfer them to the Wii U Smash title to play against friends. He said the 3DS title is intended to offer a new experience for veteran Smash fans, and that neither the 3DS game nor the Wii U game would simply be sequels like Melee and Brawl were, and that they'd do more than just add characters and stages. It has also been revealed that they are looking towards co-operative play for the Wii U title. Official Nintendo Magazine said "there is merit in having skilled and unskilled players play together, so one emphasis will be on elements of players helping one-another". They also stated that the graphics would be significantly stepped up, as the Wii U can handle high quality graphics, dynamic effects and smooth character movements in HD at 60 frames per second.

Rumors

Many rumors have spread concerning the game, all of which are false. A notable one claimed that the game would be called "Super Smash Bros. Universe.", and have 3DS and Wii U connection. The rumor also said that there would be no new EarthBound or F-Zero characters. It was revealed that this rumor, while false, had come from a official source, but only to recruit people towards the game's development.
