WP:CRYSTAL--there are no details. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 00:08, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Discussed at WT:VG, and covered in its series article.  « ₣M₣ »  00:47, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep per Sergecross73. Needs more work and a different article name.  « ₣M₣ »  03:12, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Agreed. I've started a new topic on the discussion page about what a better name could be. Sergecross73   msg me   12:41, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep- BusSDriver (talk) 00:54, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep It's been officially announced, and reliable sources are reporting on it. Much like Project Cafe after it was offically announced in April, there will be plenty of reliably-sourced speculation on it as well (if there isn't already). Sergecross73   msg me   00:58, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * A quick google search show that there has been an "Iwata Asks" on that shows more details. Info on it here. Info is out there, it just hasn't been added to the article yet... Sergecross73   msg me   01:07, 9 June 2011 (UTC)


 * [[Image:Symbol keep vote.svg|15px]] Strong keep — Per Sergecross73. Baseball   Watcher  02:51, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep per Sergecross73's work. BTW, BusSDriver, in the future, it would help to give a reason.  Erpert  Who is this guy? 04:12, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep but move to Super Smash Bros. (Wii U and 3DS) or something. -- Dorsal  Axe  14:08, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Strong keep. Important upcoming title with info out about it already.AerobicFox (talk) 00:22, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Very Strong Keep. High profile release in a very important and best selling series. New information should come fairly fast too.--Hadomaru (talk) 06:48, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep per Sergecross73.--In Donaldismo Veritas (talk) 17:26, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - There are plenty of sources that could be used for the article. A sequel has been talked about for years, and the subject is notable. Blake (Talk·Edits) 00:07, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - It doesn't exist. It doesn't have a name. Sure the 3DS is out, but if they're planning a joint Wii U/3DS release, well the Wii U is a prototype that won't be out for a year; so this nameless game that isn't even being developed at this time won't be out before the Wii U launches, so to begin it this year and rush it might give it a 2012 release. But that's speculative and I'm trailing off. My point is keeping an article for the game at this stage is a stupid idea, because there's no game to cover. Just a couple of quotes about what could appear in a game that will probably happen, but at the moment, isn't. Everything in the article is better suited to redirect to an appropriate section of the Super Smash Bros. series' article. Digitelle (talk) 16:28, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Existence is not a criteria for whether or not it should have an article. (See Chrono Break, for example. Not only does it have an article, but it has been qualified a good article..) What matters is that it is getting coverage from reliable, third party sources. This game has been confirmed to be developed straight from Nintendo, and, the last time I checked, has coverage from 3+ separate reliable sources as well.

 * Delete WP:HAMMER, plenty of room within the series article to cover the future title until a name is known and more details besides just its announcement are available. --M ASEM (t) 00:22, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
