Like the rest of the '' Super Smash Bros. '' series , '' Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS '' and '' Super Smash Bros. for Wii U '' are non-traditional fighting games where players use different attacks to weaken their opponents and knock them out of an arena . The games are crossover titles that feature characters , items , music , and stages from various Nintendo franchises , as well as from several third-party franchises . The games began development in 2012 and were officially announced at E3 2013 . The gameplay was tuned to be between that of the faster , more competition-oriented '' Super Smash Bros . Melee '' and the slower , more casual-friendly '' Super Smash Bros . Brawl ''
