Talk:Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Should the Unlockable on 3DS, and Starter on Wii U characters be unbolded? This IS the Wii U version.

8-player Smash
How does the 8-Player Smash mode work? I haven't played this game yet. Do you need the Adapter for GCN controllers so 8 players can play? Or 8-Player Smash is only a mode with 8 characters and only up to 4 can be players and 4 CPUs? Remember, I haven't played this game yet.

 * Eight human players can play using any compatible controllers.

So, for example, 8 Wii Remotes can be used? Or 4 Wii Remotes and 4 GCN controllers? (just examples).

 * If you're using only Wii U Pro Controllers or Wii Remotes (or even a Classic Controller since they connect to the Wii Remote) you can only have up to seven; one of the controllers must be a non-bluetooth-connected controller (such as the GamePad or a GameCube controller). Otherwise, yeah, pretty much every combination you can think of is available to you (you can even use 8 3DS systems with copies of the 3DS game).

But my question is if the GCN controller adapter is mandatory to play with 8 players. As far as I know, the Wii U allows at the same time up to 5 controllers (4 Wii Remotes/Wii U Pro and the GamePad). Or in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U for example, you can play with the Gamepad and 7 Wii Remotes on the same Wii U console, making a total of 8 players?
