Joystiq Streams: Free to be Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Captain Falcon had opened a chain of family eateries. Kirby was working on Pink on the Outside, a treacly memoir that wasn't going anywhere. Link and Zelda were waiting on production for their next project, but feeling anxious and lost. Samus was looking into starring in a Quentin Tarantino picture to revitalize her post-Other M image, but development was slow. They all needed relief. Something new. Something to smash. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is here to give Nintendo's icons the focused release they've been longing for, in glorious high definition. Finally: a moment of clarity to knock someone in the jaw so hard they fly into the horizon.

Join us as we stream the retail version of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U at 4:00PM EST on Joystiq.com/Twitch. We'll take a walk through the Wii U version's features, from the Smash Board board game, to stage creation, to 8-player brawl-downs.
