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).

Super Smash Bros. 4

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.

Characters

Mewtwo was announced as the very first DLC character in the Super Smash Bros. series during the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U 50-Fact Extravaganza. Mewtwo was available as a free download to players who registered both versions of SSB4 on Club Nintendo before March 31st, 2015 as of April 15th, 2015, and is currently available for anyone to purchase as of April 28th.
In addition to Mewtwo, Lucas has been confirmed to reappear in Super Smash Bros. 4 as a downloadable character. His official reveal was during a Nintendo Direct held on April 1, 2015, and he is planned for release sometime in June.
  • Future characters
The announcement of the Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot, which is open until October 3, 2015, implies future DLC characters will be implemented beyond those listed above.

Stages

A stage based on the Miiverse application found on Wii U and 3DS consoles, it was confirmed in the 50-Fact Extravaganza that it would be added to the Wii U version of SSB4 in an update sometime after release.

Modes

The Wii U version of SSB4 supports amiibo at launch, but the 3DS version had the feature added via patch on February 9th.
During the 50-Fact Extravaganza, it was confirmed that the Wii U version of SSB4 will contain a special mode that allows players to compete in and host tournaments online, but that it would not be ready at launch.

Mii Fighter costumes

Additional costumes for the Mii Fighters are available as paid DLC.
