Ultra Smash Bros. IV (or better said USBIV) is a 2.5D fighting game only for Wii U developed by GreenStar Studios, Nintendo, HAL Laboratory and Sora Ltd. and published by GreenStar Studios and Fantendo. This game has been earlier released in April 2015. It's a extended remake of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS and a fusion of all Super Smash Bros. series with brand-new characters and improved veterans from the low tier list (around 90 characters). You can play with a Nintendo 3DS Controler (to play with the 3DS, it must first download the Ultra Smash Bros. Controller on Nintendo eShop), also with the Nintendo GameCube Controller like the previous game.
There's a brand-new controller also avaiable for this game called the Ultra Smash Nintendo 64 Controller. Expert gamers gave this a positive comment: "When you play with this controller, it's so nostalgic! It remembers me my childwood when I played Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 64." The problems of the previous game are solved: Ice Climbers are now a playable returning veteran in this game including Wolf. Ultra Smash Bros. IV contains also returning bonus stages: Break the Target and Board the Platforms.

There's a new feature that adds powers to the playable characters in this game called the Ultra Gauge. The Ultra
Gauge is a circular shelp meter divided in 3 levels. These levels have specific gains of power to gain more power for each character's special move. To accumulate te gauge, players must perform combo's. But this gauge is temporary to use if you are quick, because it disappears depending which level you have reached (e.x. lvl. 3 lasts 3 seconds, lvl. 2, 4 sec. and lvl. 1, 5 sec.). It also effects the gauge when your opponent escaped the players combo performance of countered.
