New Smash Bros. focusing less on new characters, more on new features
Funny thing about the upcoming Smash Bros. title for Wii U and 3DS is that the game most likely hasn’t evolved much past the design stages seeing as how it was just recently announced that the game would be a collaboration between Nintendo and Bandai Namco, but early details about the game are starting to slowly trickle in. According to a recent interview with Nintendo Power, director Masahi...

Circle Pad Pro Coming to a 3DS XL Near You!
When the 3DS was initially launched, a big complaint was the lack of the second circle pad. Since most console controllers (Wii controller excluded) are shipped standard with two analogs, the circle pad on the 3DS is a move in the right direction. The low profile design keeps the device compact while still allowing the ease of control that an analog does. So why not include two? Our requests we...

There is no solid evidence that the game even exists, however the source of the rumor has been said to be correct in the past.
