Super Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS story mode won't be like Brawl, creator says

[Administrator]

The next versions of Super Smash Bros. will offer a different kind of story campaign to previous games in the series, creator Masahiro Sakurai has promised.
Wii incarnation Super Smash Bros. Brawl included Subspace Emissary, a sprawling side-scroller mode with detailed cut-scenes that showed Nintendo characters good and bad banding together to defeat an even greater foe.
"There will be a single player [campaign], but it won't be like the [Subspace Emissary] mode in Brawl," Sakurai told Polygon.

AVADirect is First U.S. System Builder to Nab Clevo's P375SM Gaming Laptop

Hello again, Haswell.

The braggadocios system builders at AVADirect are hooting and hollering about being the first vendor in the U.S. of A. to offer Clevo's P375SM gaming laptop, a powerhouse machine built around Intel's new HM87 chipset for Haswell. Pricing starts at just shy of two grand for the 17.3-inch notebook equipped with an Intel Core i7 4700MQ processor, though there are plenty of upgrade options at your disposable if you have too much cash in your pockets weighing you down.
A baseline configuration comes with the above mentioned CPU along with 8GB of DDR3-1600 memory, AMD Radeon HD 8970M graphics, Seagate 750GB Momentus hard drive, DVD burner, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, four USB 3.0 ports, HDMI output, Thunderbolt support, eSATA, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, and a few other odds and ends typical of a laptop system.
"Since the release of Clevo's P570WM, end-users have become accustomed to receiving desktop-grade performance in a mobile platform. A downside to a desktop replacement solution is mainly attributed to the power consumption and battery life," AVADirect explains. "AVADirect's Clevo P375SM Gaming Notebook is designed to not only alleviate the concerns of power consumption, but set an industry-wide standard for performance and comfort in a new mobile platform. The AVADirect P375SM Gaming Notebook is uniquely high-end for its exceptional capabilities and AVADirect is the first to unleash it within the U.S."
Indeed, one of the upsides to Haswell is better power management, though if you intend to mostly play games on this thing, you'll want to make sure there's a wall socket nearby, especially if you go with a dual-graphics option such as two Nvidia GeForce GTX 780M GPUs in SLI.
The Clevo P375SM laptop is available from AVADirect now.
