Smash Bros. (Wii U / 3DS): new update available (Ver. 1.1.2), fixes Diddy Kong glitch

Last week, Nintendo released a brand new Software update for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. It not only added new stages and costumes, it also made some changes regarding game balance.

Good news: Nintendo just released a Software update to fix this glitch. It brings both Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS to version 1.1.2, with the only change being a fix for the Diddy Kong glitch.
