Super Smash Bros. live: Nintendo to broadcast upcoming games for 8 hours on Friday

Super Smash Bros. for 3DS is nearly upon us, and Nintendo of America is going to spend all day Friday showing you what you have to look forward to.

The publisher revealed today that it will host a live event on video-streaming site Twitch to show off the final version of Super Smash Bros. for the 3DS. In addition to broadcasting gameplay for the four-player fighting game starring video game mascots, Nintendo says it will also cover some upcoming Wii U and 3DS games. While the handheld Smash Bros. is exciting for fans, others may tune in with high hopes that Nintendo will finally announce the release date for the Wii U release. The publisher still only has that game scheduled for “holiday,” while the 3DS version is due out October 3.
