Super Smash Bros. Second Rotation

Super Smash Bros. Second Rotation (大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズ第二の回転 Dairantō Sumasshu Burazāzu Daini No Kaiten), stylized as SSB2R, is an upcoming fighting video game developed by Bandai Namco Games and published by Nintendo for the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. The game was announced as an addon to the new Smash Bros. game, but became so popular with developers that it graduated into its own standalone game. The game will represent the 6th in the Smash Bros. Series. The game will be released December 4, 2014. It will be released under retail, for US $30.

Gameplay
Smash Bros. Second Rotation, aside from having entirely new playable characters, plays very similar to the rest of the Smash Bros. franchise. Fighting is mostly the same, with a few tweaks to make it more enjoyable. Grabbing is easier, and it is harder to get stuck under the map when flying. These are some of the many improvements that help the game play very smoothly. Charging up an attack is now easier, and smash balls are easier to attain. Assist trophies have been overhauled, making them more useful and powerful in battle, as well as being able to be stolen and used against you by opponents.

The games roster consists of Nintendo or third-party characters that have been almost or entirely forgotten, or haven't been included in the series, who are now coming back to show their worth, hence the name "Second Rotation."

There is an option, if the player owns both the new Smash Bros. and SSB2R, to port the characters of ''Smash Bros. over to SSB2R ''allowing the original characters to play with all the newcomers. It is also possible to purchase some of the characters from SSB2R as DLC for Smash Bros.
