Super Smash Bros. for Wii U just got a new update that makes 15 more stages available in 8-player form. As is often the case when Nintendo updates stuff, other, bigger changes might have just snuck their way into Smash as well. If you see anything interesting, let us know! Full stage list below.
The originally announcement came from Nintendo of Japan and was then translated (often imperfectly) by players on Reddit, Smashboards, etc. Here's the list of new 8-player stages from IGN:
Regular stages
- Mario Circuit (X)
- Luigi's Mansion
- Pyrosphere
- Norfair
- Lylat Cruise
- Pokémon Stadium 2
- Animal Crossing - Town and City
- Animal Crossing - Smashville
- Wii Fit Studio
Final Destination stages
- Mario Galaxy
- Mario Circuit (X)
- Kirby: The Great Cave Offensive
- Lylat Cruise
- Pokémon Stadium 2
- Animal Crossing - Town and City
Since this patch brings Smash to version 1.0.2, I'm curious to see if Nintendo included other changes as well that will take more time for players to figure out—like they did with Mario Kart 8 last year. If you see or hear anything about balance changes, nerfs, buffs, or anything else that's happening to Smash's gameplay, don't hesitate to reach out using the information below.
