The 8-player mode featured in last year's installment of "Super Smash Bros." for Wii U initially earned doubts from gamers who were concerned with the crowding of players on a screen. But as soon as they discovered that Nintendo did a good job in ensuring that gamers can enjoy playing against each other at a time, the multi-player mode was easily appreciated.
The Wii U version of "Super Smash Bros." launched last year can be considered as one of the most successful Wii U titles in the U.S. In its first three days alone, Nintendo sold over 490,000 digital and physical copies of the game. Currently, the company recorded over 3.39 million units sold all over the country.
Meanwhile, the 3DS version of "Super Smash Bros." is also doing well in the market, with 6.19 million copies sold all over the world.
There is no word yet if Nintendo is still planning on releasing another big update anytime soon.
