During the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U 50-fact Extravaganza, Nintendo confirmed an eight-player mode for the game — a first for the franchise.
The special mode, only for the Wii U version, lets eight players fight simultaneously in local multiplayer. No luck for online play, sorry. The mode will feature larger stages to accommodate all eight players.
Other announcements were made, which you can see below, including the addition of Mewtwo as a playable character, and a bunch of new modes.
