Downloadable content

This page documents information about or related to a future release. All information in this article must be verifiable, and adhere to SmashWiki's new game procedure. Potentially contentious information should be discussed on the talk page before being added.

The first paid DLC for SSB4, featuring Mewtwo and Mii Fighter costumes.

Downloadable content, usually abbreviated as DLC, is additional content available to download after the games' launch. DLC was first confirmed for Super Smash Bros. 4 in the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U 50-Fact Extravaganza Nintendo Direct, and can be used to add new playable characters, stages, and even new features. Paid content can be found for purchase on the Nintendo eShop in the Wii U version, and in an in-game DLC shop in the 3DS version (as the eShop is a "full" app on the 3DS, it cannot be open at the same time as the game, regardless of model).

The following features are confirmed to appear as downloadable content in SSB4.

Updates

Updates to the game must be downloaded from the eShop with no extra cost, and usually fix bugs and other errors. Certain updates will also adjust game balance; changelogs for these can be found in the appropriate sections.
