Smash Bros Universe...
That name has a nintendo feel... :P
I wouldn't believe this just yet. I'll wait for more rumors or an official announcement.

It's boring enough to be true. But since Kid Icarus hasn't been finished I doubt this game started development.

Now everybody agrees with me that U-niverse sounds great.

And just as proof that people some people didn't agree with my use of the term U-niverse instead of U-ltra Here's the link to prove it:

http://www.gamespot.com/forums/topic/28795726/things-that-could-change-between-now-and-the-release-of-the-wii-u-discussion?page=1

Now I'll just repost what I posted when the TC made a topic about this in System Wars:

"For one, I came up with that (U)niverse naming thing and I am glad that Nintendo is going with that instead of (U)ltra.

It should be called the Wii (U)niverse and come out with games with titles such as Zelda Universe, Star Fox Universe, Phantasy Star Universe 2 (Universe 1 was already made), Mario Universe (He already had Galaxy) etc. Now for my response to the bulleted text:

  • Stickers would be an interesting addition to online play but the only problem is that once hackers get a hold of it, they'll be hacking their characters up with MAX stats on everything making characters such as my Main character Jigglypuff, have less knockback than a Metal Giga Bowser but with the ability to never stop flying, etc.
  • Do not really care about Neku but I have played TWEWY and he does seem to be an interesting enough character to be included. Much better than alot of the cloned characters.
  • I agree 100%. Please remove that tripping. That was not a good idea to be included.
  • Good on the third party support. Maybe this will finally bring many more third party characters to the roster such as Bomberman (Who should've been in since the beginning, Bloody Roar characters from Hudson, Eternal Champions Characters (Mainly for me, Shadow Yamoto) from Sega, Huge maybe on Virtua Fighter Characters from Sega, More sonic characters like the much needed Knuckles (Who is already a fighter to begin with), Phantasy Star characters such as Red Ring Rico, with Summon Falz in one of its random forms as a Final Smash attack. Streets of Rage characters would be interesting especially some of the bosses. Of course the original characters would have either their special moves from 2 or 3 or they'd call in the Police to shoot their Stage eliminating Rocket Launcher or Machine Gun that rains down bullets like Ness's Final Smash. Pretty much with Square Enix, characters from Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Bust a Move/Groove and Ehrgeiz should be included, each with a different Overdrive or Summon as the Final Smash. I'd love to play as Tifa btw. Konami, oh konami, where do I start with these guys? Ninja Turtles is a MUST. Contra, YES please. Castlevania Characters Oh the possibilities!!! Silent Hill, Oh me oh my!!! Suikoden characters? YES!!! Mystical Ninja characters would fit great!!! Metal Gear obviously but Nerf Snake please. Zone of the Enders, not sure how this would work but DO IT!!! Jehuty and Anubis as Final Smash attacks!!! And most of all, GOONIES!!! LOL!!! They'd have to get licensing and crap so they can leave out the Goonies.
  • Of course Mario franchise has gotten bigger. People that do't even like Mario games picked up Smash Bros because they could beat him up thus bringing more people to actually end up playing Mario Games than normal.
  • I don't know where they got the idea that Samus was slow in the first place. She gets those Hi Speed Boots and it is a wrap. Add Screw Attack on with Space Jump and she can't be killed. I believe she needs that Hi Speed Shoulder Charge Rush as a Final Smash somehow. It'd be a one hit kill like Marth's attack. Or let her Summon the Baby Metroid she saved (Even though it's technically dead) and let the Metroid steal energy from the opponents and give it back to Samus (Referencing Super Metroid). Characters can hit the Metroid away or shake the Metroid off if it gets on them.
  • Already said my parts about Sega Characters.
  • Already mentioned Konami and Square Enix.
  • Now I'm not too sure about Mother/Earthbound but FZero definitely needs to continue. I haven't played Mother/Earthbound so I don't know much about it except everybody wants a new one so it must be good.
  • Also add Ridley, Kamden, Spire, Noxus to the list of playable characters. I don't like Trace as he is a cheater."
I wasn't about to retype all that.

seems forced even for nintendo, might be more of a concept name and a report of whatever. i mean, they barely started working on the game (if at all), if i remember correctly.

I don't know but I think they are starting development on Wii U's Smash Bros. Like the naming they can talk about its not something they need to have a foundation of the game already made to plan that.

I DO actually like the name Smash Bros. Universe. If Nintendo made that their thing "Mario Universe, Star Fox Universe, etc.) that wouldn't be too bad.

SEE, it is a catchy suffix for their games. And it makes sense at the same time. U will stand for Universe in WiiU. Read my comment in the link I posted above and read the responses I got for it.

Kid Icarus: Uprising is still in development, so I'm calling this fake. Sakurai has stated that they wouldn't start any work on a new Smash until Kid Icarus: Uprising was fully completed.

These are just concept ideas for the next game. It wouldn't be impossible for them to be tossing out a few ideas so they don't have to start from scratch right when they're finished with KI.

Yup. They said that they would start making it once they finished Kid Icarus, and that's really all we have as confirmed information.

i heard about this a few days ago and i laughed at it, sure the name is predictable and the game is coming out on the wiiu and 3ds so i guess universe would work with both systems but seems like it favor the wii over 3ds

"Skippy Badge"

trugs26

Thank you trugs26. I take that Skippy badge with honor. :D I'd put that in the Gamespot badge section but I'm not able to do so.

Certain people said it sounded terrible when I said it but now everybody sees that it actually fits when the high up execs say it. :P :D

U-niverse is a great suffix for next gen's WiiU titles

That could just be a temporary name... like Revolution, Project Cafe, etc.

Not according to Sakurai, he said there wasn't even as much as a team together, so it doesn't sound very believable.

You don't need a team to have people thinking about it because they know they'll be starting it very soon and he may have asked people for ideas anyway. This letter seems to be coming from one person

I guess it really doesn't matter though. Chances are this is fake, and even if it isn't it really doesn't mean anything since it's just ideas.

I'd love for them to be like, "Well, Melee was our best effort at a Smash game so lets copy-paste it and go from there (add online, characters, items, etc)." Not much development time needed if they do it like that. That's what they seemed to do with Brawl though so this time they need to tweak it better.

Well I liked Brawl better but it needs no tripping and more content. That's where I can say Melee was better. The Stage Design and unlockables were better on Melee but the gameplay is better on Brawl. Melee was too fast paced and made Smash Bros a Hyper Speed mess in my opinion.

They just need to bring back directional midair dodging. Sure it caused wavedashing, but it allowed for more dynamic game play. In Brawl, you keep falling after an air dodge so it easy to predict and grab them while in Melee you could choose to move yourself and make the opponent guess right or wrong.

I already saw that image, and I will say that more than likely that name would not stick. Sakurai is putting all of his attention and focus on Kid Icarus: Uprising right now, as he should. It's not a bad name, although it's not a fighting word like Melee and Brawl. I think Clash would suit the next game best, but if this document was real it would be the earliest of the earliest concepts.

Kid Icarus is like 95% done.In like amonth or 2 it should be gold.
