The announcement of the new Super Smash Bros. may have been premature, but Nintendo apparently felt it needed a big game to talk about — if not show — at this year’s E3. With Masahiro Sakurai still busy working on Kid Icarus: Uprising, details were anything but forthcoming beyond the fact that it’s coming to Wii U and 3DS. Now a leaked document allegedly shows off some potential ideas for the game and a possible name.
The image below surfaced on 4chan and was then posted on Reddit earlier today. It shows the game’s name as being Super Smash Bros. Universe, with the “U” in Universe using the same style of U seen in the logo for Wii U. The idea makes sense, though with this sort of thing it’s always best to take anything and everything with a grain of salt. Keep in mind that the page seems to indicate both the Japanese and English names for the game would use the same subtitle, whereas previous games did not — Melee carried the subtitle DX in Japan while Brawl was simply X.
According to a translation by Zelda Informer (via Super Smash Bros. World), the document alludes to more third-party support (presumably meaning more third-party characters like Snake and Sonic), the removal of tripping (also known as Prat Falling), and increasing the movement speed of Samus in light of how she handles in Other M.
