Sounds like I'm taking a day off work and car pooling to the nearest Best Buy with Smash Bros.

Unless they have a release date in June for 3DS version, then I'll just wait and not waste gas.

OK, that's hype! Can't wait to play!

I wonder how they'll pick people for the invitational. I'd love for the big Melee and Brawl players to get chosen for it, but somehow I doubt Nintendo will go for that so directly.

I hope that the feedbacks we are getting for Smash would be good. We'll see.

Yeah, I'm not surprised. I'm curious about Project TreeHouse.

Here I was thinking Samus' tether in PM is too fucking long and I see it in Smash 4 lol. At least Link's is longer now which is a much needed change.

Super Smash Bros. Tournament Highlights Nintendo’s E3 Approach

REDMOND, Wash., April 29, 2014 – Over the last few years, Nintendo has repeatedly reinvented its approach to E3 by creating unique ways to break news and get fans at home involved in the fun, while also offering great experiences for on-site attendees. That mission continues in 2014 as Nintendo offers a series of new channels to communicate news directly to its key audiences, including fans, media, analysts, investors and business partners. This includes a new format for unveiling news: the Nintendo Digital Event; a Super Smash Bros. tournament; a full slate of live, in-depth game demos from the Nintendo booth; and an opportunity for fans to play Super Smash Bros. for Wii U for the first time at their local Best Buy.

"We demonstrated last year that we are never afraid to reinvent a proven tactic or to break completely new ground if we believe it will provide the best experience for our fans, followers and partners," said Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America's president and chief operating officer. "So, whether you're attending E3 in person or joining online, there's an amazing lineup of games, experiences and events coming your way."

At E3 2014, Nintendo will offer four unique experiences, all under the unifying banner of "Play Nintendo."

Super Smash Bros. Invitational
2014 will see the arrival of not one, but two new Super Smash Bros. games: Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. To commemorate this occasion, Nintendo is inviting 16 highly skilled Super Smash Bros. players to the NOKIA Theatre L.A. LIVE in Los Angeles to compete in a Super Smash Bros. for Wii U tournament. Thousands of fans in the audience and countless more watching a live stream online will see new Super Smash Bros. characters clash with existing favorites in action for the first time. More important than declaring a winner, however, this event is a celebration of all things Super Smash Bros., and a great way for new and veteran fans to take part in a tribute to this legendary franchise. More information about the 16 invited participants in the tournament, the identity of the announcers, and how fans of the franchise can view the tournament in person and via webcast, will be communicated shortly.

Super Smash Bros. Smash Fest @ Best Buy
In 2013, Nintendo broke new ground by expanding its E3 activities outside of the walls of the Los Angeles Convention Center and letting fans play some of the games being played on the show floor at participating Best Buy stores. The partnership between Nintendo and Best Buy continues in 2014 and will mark the first time around the world that fans have had the opportunity to get their hands on Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

What is the Nintendo Treehouse known for?

I think it's new name for roundtable event. When I read the press, and it surely sound like roundtable event but somewhat different.

Nintendo Digital Event
Every year, Nintendo looks for the best way to show its games and share its news with fans, media and other key audiences. In 2013, Nintendo decided to forgo a traditional press conference and use a video – in that case a Nintendo Direct – to share its news from E3. The company is building on that approach at E3 2014 with the "Nintendo Digital Event," a new kind of video program that will reveal and provide further detail about the gaming experiences on the way for Nintendo platforms in 2014 and beyond. The Nintendo Digital Event will air at 9 a.m. PT on Tuesday, June 10.

Nintendo Treehouse: Live @ E3
This year, Nintendo will offer fans a deeper look at Nintendo's biggest games of E3, with information directly from the source. The "Treehouse," the Product Development department at Nintendo of America, will provide in-depth game demos live and unscripted from Nintendo's booth. This new program will be live streamed during all hours of the E3 show. Fans can get settled in, open their browsers and experience the Nintendo games at E3 like never before.

Somehow I see them messing it up. Like they just take random celebrities and developers that claim to be good at Smash Bros, and put them in a tournament. I dunno. I'm hoping M2K and Dr. PP are already being planned for invites, but you never know with Nintendo.

No items, Final Destination? Seems to be what Sakurai thinks is the competitor standard.

Hope it's with items on and random stages so we see as much as possible.

Good point. I didn't think about the ramifications of For Glory mode. I'd take being stuck on only FD (-ified stages) over having items on in a tournament any day (even if I'm only watching).

Yeah, there's that and also if there will be timed matches or stock matches.
Maybe they'll even go with FFA :p

Best Buy tournaments?

I hope the closest one isn't a 50 hour drive like it was last E3. They never pick the ones near my house D:

Wait, I just connected the dots that it's an Invitational. For some reason I thought it would be just some big open tournament. I wonder who they're inviting? This is potentially awesome or horrible.

All skilled players from video games journalism. That would be terrible but hilarious at same time.

From that little press release we don't actually know anything about how they're going to share the tournament. Could be live streamed, or it could just be recorded and then edited as they fit.

I'm guessing they're gonna invite the Top 16 Melee players from EVO last year.
