When originally announced in passing at E3 2011, the game's development was
slated
to begin sometime after October 2011, once development on ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'' had completed. <ref>[http://andriasang.com/comw79/ Andriasang.com: "Smash Bros. U & 3DS development appears to be very early"]</ref> In February 2012, it was then confirmed that development on the fourth game had begun.<ref>[http://www.cubed3.com/news/16506 Cubed<sup>3</sup>: "Sakurai Begins Work on New Smash Bros for Wii U and 3DS"]</ref> The game was unmentioned during E3 2012, something which many fans were disappointed about despite the known extremely early state of the game; the "first step of the process" was taken shortly after in mid-June. [[Masahiro Sakurai]] has expressed disappointment that fans will be waiting for longer than expected for the game to be released due to the earliness of the initial announcement.<ref>[http://nintendoeverything.com/91807/next-smash-bros-in-first-step-of-the-process-sakurai-worried-about-long-wait/ Nintendo Everything: "Next Smash Bros. in “first step of the process”, Sakurai worried about long wait"]</ref> Shortly afterward, it was revealed during a Nintendo Direct that [[Namco Bandai]] was the primary developer alongside [[Sora Ltd.]], and had already completed a working prototype.<ref name="ign-namco" />
