Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS

I wonder why no one is wanting to talk about City Trial (or Smash Run as they call it in this game, but I'm just going to call it City Trial since that's what it's based off of in Kirby Air Ride :p)? It's a new mode exclusive to this version of the game, and I can somewhat see why considering the size of the battlefield. :p

It's a super-huge maze-like arena where you run around collecting power-ups to boost your character's stats for the competition which takes place after 5mins have passed. You each get your own screen, so running around there might feel like the Subspace Emissary in Brawl, even though the other players will also be running around there too.

For the challenges afterwards, it looks like it's going to mostly be based on battling, which is alright considering Kirby Air Ride mostly consisted of races and such with a bunch of other stuff mixed into it.
Apart from the various Time Battles and the upwards-moving games they already have, I'm also hoping for -
  • Stock Battle (Can be up to 3, that's all I care for, and they can even include time as well if they want)
  • Stamina
  • Home-Run Contest (All playing in their own areas at the same time, of course)
  • Race to the Finish (All in the same course hopefully, with multiple variations to play off of)
  • Multi-Man Battle (3mins with unlimited lives and all in the same field, though IDK how that'd work, or 3mins/100 enemies alone) (Also on more than just Battlefield as well)
  • Break the Target (Only if they make the stages like they did in Brawl, in which I hope that's not the case)

There also seems to be items you can bring into the match to help get the power-ups as well, like, from the footage we saw in the direct, random item attacks that defeat enemies for you, item drops (There was a Ray Gun drop shown as an icon), temporary stat boosts (or something like that - was also only shown as an icon), and some other group which IDK what they are, though this particular example warped you somewhere else in the battle arena, so it might be related to travel. I'd think those are all that would be around as of groups, so what kinds of items do you think would be in it?

Now finally, it's been also stated as a Multiplayer mode, but not exactly which kind of "Multiplayer" it is.
For example - is this mode a download-only game, where anyone locally can play it with you only? Or is it a multi-card game, where you require a copy per player in order to play.
Personally, I'm hoping we'll be able to play this mode online as well as with Download and Multi-card play so that we could enjoy this mode together here (though if they do that, it would probably be in the Friends mode only since online matchmaking seems to have been confirmed with only "For Fun" and "For Glory"). As well, I'm also hoping for CPU add ins as well in case you want to play this alone, because I know at times I will be when traveling.

Anyhow, what are all of your thoughts on this 3DS-exclusive mode? Are you all as hyped as I am for it!?
 
nintendofan10039 RETURNS!!!!
Well, I'm really looking forward to this game coming out this summer(3DS version), but I'm a little disappointed that Smash for Wii U looks like it'll be coming out in winter.  Something that'll help boost sales is a demo of the game...However, this has 0 to null chance of making this a reality.  Since Smash Run has been confirmed for 3DS and not for Wii U, does this mean that the Wii U version will have a "Subspace" mode?  I really hope so!  Anyways, on a couple months left until I download the game on my new XL(hopefully getting a Smash Bros. XL system).

When do you guys think this is coming out? We know it's Summer, but what month?

I'm going late August. I think some of September is still part of the Summer. :p

Knowing Nintendo, if they want to make the most of the development for this game, and pinned a Summer release, it'll most likely be August or by the third weekend of September 2014. July is a possibility, but I think that's a bit soon, and most people are out on vacation during that month.
 
Ike returns!

Sakurai: Ike, the swordsman of magnificent strength, joins the battle!! Strike your foes down with his powerful smash attacks.

Sakurai: For this game, Ike’s design is based on the hero that appears in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. His sword deals heavy damage in Smash Bros., so this design suits him very well! Rest assured, he can use Aether as well.

So, over the last few days, I found interesting footage and information on several Final Smashes.
Kirby: His Ultra Sword can strike multiple fighters (The same goes for Greninja's Final Smash)
Mega Man: There's a black hole before the Megamen are summoned and anyone caught in it will be hit.
Zero Suit Samus: Her Final Smash does indeed employ her airship; it can fire lasers on to a central point and you can freely aim.
Luigi: Though Luigi stays in one spot, the Poltergust 5000's angle spreads across all directions, sucking up anyone within range, and then they are spit out!
 
I like Kirby's new final smash. The one in Brawl's good too, but this one's better. E3 was nice, but I honestly expected more characters to be revealed. It's confirmed that they put all the characters, stages, etc. they wanted in the game and are now balancing all the stuff. Wonder if some characters will stay hidden until the game's launch.
