Most Awesome Super Smash Bros. 4 Wii U Stages

Hey guys! Today I will be posting some of the most awesome stages coming out in Super Smash Bros. 4 Wii U.

1. Final Destination


This stage will always be a fan favorite, flying through the galaxies!

2. Battlefield


An awesome stage with a few platforms, amazing background, just a cool looking stage!

3. Mushroom Kingdom U


A fun stage, Kamek changes the stage scenery from time to time, and the stage with it! This is what I am talking about:


4. Jungle Hijinxs


An extremely cool stage with two views! You can use the cannon to blast yourself to the back, or just fight up in front!

5. Pyrosphere


A really cool stage! Sometimes Ridley will fly up from the background and attack players! If you hit Ridley enough times, he will fight for you and attack your opponents! It is possible though, to K.O him.

6. Woolly World
File:SSB4 Yoshi's Woolly World Stage.PNG

This stage is based off the game Yoshi's Woolly World coming out next year. There are 3 sections to the stage. It starts out in the pic above, and thenit will warn you that it will move to the sky! Jump on one of the clouds or a rocket so you won't be left behind!
File:SSB4U Yoshi's Woolly World Sky.PNG

This is the sky part! After you fight there for a little while, you will go down to an area filled with toy blocks!

7. Orbital Gate Assualt

Doesn't this stage already look cool? I don't know much about this stage, but I know that you are on top of spaceships battling your opponents! Awesome, right?

8. Gamer
File:GamerWiiU.jpg

A very interesting stage. You are all fighting on top of a desk. occasionally, 5-Volt will come looking for fighters. If you get caught in the light, you get hit with an attack with a lot of knockback and damage.

9. The Great Cave Offensive
File:GreatCaveOffensive.png

You might as well call it the Danger Stage, because there are a LOT of danger zones here! That is the lava and the spikes you see in the pic above. If you knock into one, you get damaged. If you have over 100% and you hit one, it is an instant kill!!!

10. Boxing Ring
File:Boxing Ring Smash Bros.jpg

In this stage, you can battle in a boxing ring! There is a crowd in the background. If you knock the lights enough, they will fall, letting you battle in the dark. Don't worry. the lights will come back after a while.

11. Wily Castle
File:Wilys fortress.png

In this stage, you fight in a stage with a giant castle in the background. Sometimes Yellow Devil will appear! He will attack the players. If you hit his eye enough times, he will get K.O'd! He will blow up in the kind of manner like a Smart Bomb. He will appear again even after you destroy him.

12. Pilot Wings


In this stage, you get to fight on top of airplanes while going over an island! It looks REALLY fun!

13. Wrecking Crew
File:SSB4UWreckingCrew.jpg

In this stage, you get to destroy layers of building as you fight. Bombs will randomly appear and blow up the building, making this a very chaotic stage!

5 Reasons to Buy Super Smash Bros. for Wii U





Hello everyone, and I am here to post the top 5 reasons to buy Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, even if you have the 3ds version! Here we go:

1. First off, I would have to say the main reason is that everyone has wanted to duke it out in Smash in HIGH DEFINITION!!! The pic below shows the 3ds graphics compared to the Wii U graphics. Ha! That little section at the top left is the 3ds!





















2. EIGHT PLAYER SMASH!!!!!!!! Now you can Smash to your heart's content now that you don't have to take turns when friends are over! If you have eight remotes all together that is...



















3. EXTREMELY WIDE VARIETY OF SOUNDTRACKS!!! If you adored the soundtracks in Brawl (like me), you will LOVE the number of soundtracks in Smash 4 for Wii U. It includes over 437 soundtracks!!! I know! The 3ds version has WAY less. I don't know the exact number, but here is the chart comparing both versions:





















4. MORE STAGES!!! Sure, the 3ds offered a lot of stages, but the Wii U version has 42 stages, while the 3ds has 34! Nice!



















5. AWESOME STAGE CREATION!!! The new in game stage creation takes creating stages to a whole new level! Use the gamepad to literally draw your own stage you can also plant danger zones and other items around the stage!





















I hope you all like my post! And until next time,

Smash on!

7 Best Super Smash Bros. U Nintendo Direct Main Features

As you probably know, Nintendo had a Direct for Super Smash Bros. U tonight, so I am here to post 7 of the main features:

1. EIGHT PLAYER SMASH!!! I know, it's swag, you can now play with 8 players at once! There are special stages designed for 5 or more players.















2. Stage Creation! They totally took stage creation up a notch! Now you can basically draw your own stage, then add awesome items in it after (Such as cannons).















3. Special Orders! Remember the Pic of the Day with Master Hand and Crazy Hand, showing a secret solo mode? Well here it is! In Master Hand mode, you get to try to go through battles, the more difficult the battle is, the better the prize. In Crazy Hand mode, you have to pay coins or a pass to enter. Except the more you go through battles, the harder the battles are going to be. You get awesome prizes, but the more you risk. Because if you die, you lose it ALL. So if you think you have earned enough prizes, don't risk it!
















4. Smash Tour! Smash Tour is a fighting board game. Players get items and characters as they go along, preparing for the final battle. Try to collect as much characters as you can, because at the final battle, you use those characters.














5. DANGER ZONES! Get knocked into one of these with more than 100% and it's an instant K.O! Danger Zones will damage you even if you don't have 100%. A great way to have danger battles! You can add danger zones to custom stages also. Peach: "Uh, Meta Knight? You know your head is stuck in that lava, right?"














6. Ridley! This is a very cool feature. Samus Aran's arch nemesis Ridley makes an appearance on the Pyrosphere stage. He will attack players. But, if a player attacks him enough, he will join that player's side, and fight for him or her. It is possible to K.O Ridley. When a player K.Os Ridley, you will get a point for killing him. Swag, right?


7. One of the biggest announcements: Mewtew is coming! He is going to be to be a DLC in Spring 2015. You can download him if you own both of the games. =( That's a bummer. He is one of my best Melee fighters, and I don't have a ds.














Here is the whole video if you want to watch the whole thing:



These were some BIG announcements! And until the game releases,

A pretty cool alternate costume. throws his medicine instead of fireballs and so forth.

There is no official name for this costume. "It's Batma-... No, it's Luig-... No! It's Batweegee!"

Wolf:
