It’s time for a bar fight! If you’ve got a Wii U, and if you’ve got Super Smash Bros for Wii U, and you’re at a loose end on Saturday evening then feel free to join in the inaugural Bother’s Bar Super Smash Bros tourney!
To play you will need v1.1.0 which has introduced Tourney mode. If you have not booted your copy up for a while, you’d do well to do it in advance to make the patch download happen.
To join, click on the Nintendo Network icon top right of the menu, then click the Events > Tournaments tabs. You can search for us, here are the details:
Date: Sat 15th August, 8:00pm – 9:30pm UK
Name: Bother’s Bar
Tournament ID: 03075218823045
Password: tarrant [all lower case]
Or if you’re friends with me on Wii U (Brig Bother) there’s an option to join friends, come find me. There is a limit of 100 players, although it’s unlikely that will get hit.
90 minutes of fighting fun – rounds are two minutes, stages are random, all items on, you can play with Mii Fighters but customisations are off. Most points at the end of the 90 minutes wins!
There may well be another session during the Bank Holiday weekend at the end of the month if this goes well so join us if you can!
I see C4 are beginning to trail their Wanted-for-the-2010’s format Hunted.

Two things that’ll be interesting to find out: what’s to stop players from grabbing a load of army rations and living in a cupboard (they’ve decided against a lot of “rules”); and how are the trackers going to get info given that they have no powers to demand things like CCTV footage.
Oh I’ve seen adverts for that and assumed it’s a drama. Well that’s more interesting then.
I’m lousy at guessing how things are going to work, presumably the producers will have a duty of care towards the participants so they’ll be lots of behind the scenes contrivances. What actually are we going to watch, lots of video diaries uploaded by phone?
You know how some people, got very excited for a couple of seconds last month, when a shout out was released for a unnamed Darts based tv show?
Well, it was quickly knocked back that it wasn’t that one..
But it’s this one..

Hopefully it won’t end up on screen with the least imaginative name imaginable – and note, how it’s yet another case of Sky 1 briefly becoming Sky Sports 6.
Rebound’s based on the bleep test. Love this idea!

Starts next Monday at 5pm.
Will this be similar to the game played on Pressure Pad, do you think? Or will it just be an individual version of the same thing? I can’t see how they’ll make this exciting for an hour, personally, but I look forward to seeing it.
Not sure, but the suggestion is six will get whittled down to one so hopefully there are enough variants on the theme, although I’ve also heard suggested that it’s very quickfire and gets through a lot of material so might get away with sameiness. Looking forward to it at any rate.
