Mewtwo Strikes Back on Super Smash Bros. for Wii U & 3DS

Mewtwo’s Finally Back to Nintendo’s All-Star Fighter. the first of many to come.

Today, Club Nintendo has begun sending the download codes to owners of both the Wii U and 3DS versions of Super Smash Bros. from all around the world, so they can once again, they’ll fight as the Legendary Pokémon himself in Smash!

A couple years ago, if you asked Smash Bros. fans and Brawl players who did they miss the most from Melee, you were very likely to hear the name Mewtwo.
Mewtwo’s moveset isn’t too different from his Melee incarnation, but he has of course been balanced to fairly work wi

th the Wii U and 3DS games. His special moves in particular, are design-wise identical to their previous versions, with only a few tweaks and overall sped-up from their GameCube versions.

If you weren’t one of the lucky ones to register both copies of the game on Club Nintendo, you’ll be able to buy and download the fighter on April 28th of this year for $3.99 for either the Wii U or the 3DS version or $4.99 to play it on both.

The Legend of Zelda for Wii U may not come out in 2015.

Producer Eiji Aonuma says: “We are no longer making a 2015 release our number one priority.”

Eiji Aonuma, long-time producer of the Legend of Zelda series, says that the previously scheduled date of 2015 for the Legend of Zelda for Wii U may no longer be, as development period elongates.

This isn’t the first time a Zelda title has been delayed, in fact, Skyward Sword, Twilight Princess and the Ocarina of Time were all delayed back in the day, and if those games are any indication, this delay is probably for the best, as Shigeru Miyamoto once said: “A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is bad forever.”

So what you think of this delay? Are you disappointed this game won’t be comming out this year? or are you hopeful it’s for the best in the long run? Let us know in the comment section bellow.
