Yes.
Probably related how download play usualy don''t work well with lots of options at the same time (see the lack of fighters in SF4 and Kirby FIghters) ... or related how 3ds squeezes every last drop of 3DS ram
Yes but honestly you don't need buckets of ram to send some inputs through Wi-Fi, you wouldn't need to download/cache a lot of information, it should be an app to allow the connection with the game. Remember that pokemon game on Wii? It had DS to Wii connection to act as a controller via download play. This is a decision/restriction for more 3ds software sales.
edit: I get it for the custom fighter exchange but the controller mode need to have the 3ds version is silly. granted we don't know the features yet

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Wii U version.
Doubt it, that would mean a Smash cart is required to use the 3DS as a controller.

It's crazy we're this far into Fall and we still know next to nothing about the Wii U version which is somehow supposed to release in the next 82 days (and realistically probably a few weeks less than that)
It seems rather late to announce a November release and a December release is gonna have people whipped into such a mad frenzy such that it's entirely possible this thing could be sold out for the majority of its first month. It would stock but I'm fairly certain at this point the Wii U version is gonna miss this holiday for a February release.

The 3DS version does feel a bit barebones, content-wise. This isn't terribly surprising.
It's my first Smash game, more or less - I guess I expected more than free-for-all brawls (SP/MP) and Trophy Unlocks. Smash Run is neat, but super limited. I haven't tried the Home Run thing but it seems pretty one-note.

Love how he says "Choose a Mii". Really hope these are in the Wii U version.

8 player smash is for Wii U only. The audio is only there because you use 4 controllers and connect 4 3DSs to the Wii U to get to the 8 players needed. No 8 players on 3DS ever...
That's my guess, anyway. We already know 3DSs can be used as controllers.

Definitely seem like Wii U modes to me. Boss Battle could either be against boss characters (like there were bosses in SSE) or that rumoured mode where you play as the bosses (hello playable Ridley). Tourney makes more sense for the console version and 8 player smash also makes sense for the console version rather than the 3DS.
I don't see any reason that this won't be the case.
And I can't imagine them having ever had an 8 player mode planned just for the 3DS, given some of the concessions made to keep the game running stably.

Not sure if this one has been posted yet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEC8m-ckNfI
Only if you believe that you need Smash Bros 4 3DS to use the 3DS as a controller.
Hmm?
Master Hand and Crazy Hand are in the 3DS version. We don't know for sure with the Wii U game, but probably there too. Unless I'm misunderstanding what you meant?

You do though. There's a "connect to WiiU" button in the 3DS game, which it says is to transfer customs and to use the 3DS as a controller.

There's one important phrase missing...
"Break The Targets!"
;_;
If they didn't want to make a unique stage for each character (you know, cost and man hours and all that) they could just make one or two that is completable by every character and have the whole thing to do it as fast as possible and as fast as each character. Would at least be fun

Well, they do need a 3DS native app for that functionality anyway.

Haven't checked controller options for Smash Wii U, but I assume you can use gamepad, Wii U pro controllers, Wii remote + nunchucks, Wii Pro controllers and Gamecube-controllers. All of those work alright (and certainly better than 3DS ;b) if you're just playing for fun (which you probably are if you're that many at once), so yeah.
Isn't that just what the announcer says when someone wins the tourney? Doubt an independent mode would actually be called that.
Surely 'The Champion is' is just the clip announcing the results of a tournament? The appropriate character name clip would just come afterwards. Same as:
'The winner is'
*pause*
'Mega Man'

Right, however the WiiU only supports 4 bluetooth controllers + the gamepad. So at least 3 of those 8 players would need to be either Gamecube controllers or 3DS players.
Yeah that makes more sense. I wonder if Wii U won't have any adventure mode then...
But Mega Man never wins.

This audio was probably recorded in one lump for 3DS and Wii U, the audio was likely included in the 3DS version by accident. We've probably just got a preview of all the modes in the Wii U version.

Sir!
What kind of content are you looking for? This game has a ton of stuff to do. Way more than Melee did.
There's the Smash mode, which is just for setting up matches against other players or CPU... if that's all you're going into, you're missing out on a lot.
Under Games and More there's the Smash Run, but go into the Stadium. There's a whole lot more than just the home run derby here. You'll find the Multi Man Smash mode where you play timed modes, Cruel Smash, and Endless Smash (basically survival mode). Target Smash sucks IMO, but you may like it... you beat up on a bomb for a few seconds to get its damage meter up, and then you smash it into a Crush the Castle style structure and try to blow it all up.
In the Vault there's a neat minigame where blocks fall from the sky onto a platform and you have to knock them away to keep the platform from getting overloaded. Keeping up with the flow puts the game into Fever mode where coins, creation parts, and trophies rain down. It seems to be the fastest way to earn moves; you tend to get a creation part once per Fever mode, and it seems like it's weighted more for attacks instead of equipment. I've been getting an average of two moves everytime I play it. It's faster than Smash Run.
Alph. Olimar's alt.
Remember: parity
Parity applied only to Characters in the games, not stages or game modes. We've known for a while there would be exclusive content to each version (levels being different, some of the 3DS levels are exclusive, a good bet is the handheld specific ones such as Dream Land, and modes are different since we know for sure Smash Run is a 3ds exclusive).

Sakurai already said neither game would have something like Subspace Emissary. Maybe we'll get something like Melee's simple adventure mode, but I doubt it.
8 player smash, ice climbers only, Final Destination

I imagine they just had the guy say lots of things they didn't have time to actually put in.

I also miss that mode from Classic mode. :-(None of those is BREAK THE TARGET
From the main menu in the game go to "games & more", solo, and then classic.
You seem to have not seen all of the modes in this version yet
Watch Da Birdie
I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
None of those is BREAK THE TARGET
Pretty sure that's in the game in Smash Run.

What if the Ice Climbers could run in 4-Player Smash, but not 8-Player Smash?
