Looks like Super Smash Bros. will be about more than just smashing again this time around as director Masahiro Sakurai revealed two more mini-games via Miiverse for the latest iteration of the series.

The first minigame is Trophy Rush, and while details about this are currently being withheld, Sakurai did say that this mini-game will be much different than the Coin Launcher mini-game from Brawl.

The second mini-game is one returning to the 3DS. The Home-run Contest will be streamlined with sturdier glass and double speed for longer hits.

Super Smash Bros. for 3DS is due out this October while the Wii U version will be released this holiday.

My Opinion:

I am excited to see what these mini-games have in store. Hopefully they will be much more fun to spend time with when waiting for friends to come over or just when I have some down time. Will you play these mini-games when you pick up Super Smash Bros.?
