Exclusive Star Fox Stage for Smash Bros. for Wii U Revealed

Exclusive stages are running rampant between the two versions of Super Smash Bros., and the latest stage revealed for the Wii U version has me super excited. It’s the Orbital Gate from Star Fox Assault. As it is a brand new stage never seen in a Smash game before, Sakurai has gone beyond the typical reveal and gone on to explain the many different scenarios that can happen on this stage – from missiles firing to riding on Arwings. Seriously, it truly does feel like an “assault”. Get it? Here’s a few looks at the stage and what Sakurai had to say about it:

“This is the Orbital Gate stage. This is a Wii U version-exclusive stage reenacting Team Star Fox’s defense of the Orbital Gate from an Aparoid missile attack.”

“Missiles are launched towards the Orbital Gate! The force field shields the machinery for a while, and the missiles eventually get shot down by team Star Fox. Overall, this stage feels like a ride. It’s pretty hectic, so hold on tight!”

“The Arwings are passing through the gate! And the fighters hop on for a free ride!!”

Seriously, this stage looks utterly amazing, and more than that… it makes me really want to see that new Star Fox game next year.
