Super Smash Bros. 4 Wii U Gets Nintendo Direct on October 23

Hidden game data and Amazon leaks have already clued us into a potential treasure chamber of features exclusive to the home console version of the latest Smash. But the time for secrecy is over: Nintendo will stream a Smash-focused Nintendo Direct this Thurday, October 23, at 3:00 PM Pacific.

The draw for this event will be 50 things in the Wii U build that aren't in the 3DS one. I don't doubt that a bunch of those list spots will be reserved for window dressing like trophies, but it's safe to expect the complete reveal of a majority of the new modes teased previously. You'll be able to catch the stream on Nintendo's Twitch or YouTube channels.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U arrives on November 21.
