The first set of paid DLC for SSB4, featuring Mewtwo and Mii Fighter costumes.

Downloadable content, usually abbreviated as DLC, is additional content available to download after the games' launch. DLC was first confirmed for Super Smash Bros. 4 in the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U 50-Fact Extravaganza Nintendo Direct, and can be used to add new playable characters, stages, and even new features. Paid content can be found for purchase on the Nintendo eShop in the Wii U version, and in an in-game DLC shop in the 3DS version (as the eShop is a "full" app on the 3DS, it cannot be open at the same time as the game, regardless of model).

The following features are confirmed to appear as downloadable content in SSB4.

Updates

Updates to the game must be downloaded from the eShop with no extra cost, and usually fix bugs and other errors. Certain updates will also adjust game balance; changelogs for these can be found in the appropriate sections.

  • Future characters
The announcement of the Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot, which was open until October 3rd, 2015, implies future DLC characters will be implemented beyond those listed above. Masahiro Sakurai has also stated that "several more characters" will be developed, and that they will be fanservice. [1]

In a similar vein to clone characters, DLC characters are recognized by being placed in their own area on the character select screen, regardless of which franchise they hail from. DLC characters that have not been purchased or otherwise obtained can still be encountered online, and their amiibo can still be used.
