Exactly two weeks ago, Nintendo announced some new DLC for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS: a stage based on Super Mario Maker. Good news: it’s now available for purchase, and comes with a little surprise on Nintendo 3DS! However, you do need to download and install the latest Software update for the game before being able to do so.

This update brings the game to version 1.1.1, and requires:

Wii U: 299MB of free space on your Wii U or external HDD

Nintendo 3DS: 2 769 blocks of free space on your external HDD.

Here’s the changelog for the Wii U update:

Users will be able to purchase newly added downloadable content. Updated features when posting to YouTube and Miiverse. Adjustments have also been made to make for a more pleasant gaming experience.



To download this update, you have two options:

let the Wii U do its thing if you have automatic downloads activated;

launch Super Smash Bros. for Wii U from the Home Menu (not the Quick Start Menu), in order to trigger the update manually.
