The Wii U and 3DS versions of Super Smash Bros. are going to be very similar. They'll both have the same rosters, the same moves, and the same gameplay, meaning... yeah, they'll be pretty much the same. Some things will be different, however, and on this episode of SSBWUW (we're going with that), we discuss exactly what those differences are. And no, it's not just that one plays on the Wii U and one on the 3DS--nice try, though. Points for trying. Good hustle. "A" for effort.


Super Smash Bros. Wii U Weekly is GamesRadar's weekly Super Smash Bros. Wii U show. Yeah, we bet you figured that out already. Come back every Wednesday for the latest news, analysis, and speculation about the upcoming brawler.
