This August, a "huge matchmaking update" is expected. This will add a slew of new matchmaking features, including friend-based matchmaking. This will allow either 4 Wii U friends to team up against another group of 4 Wii U friends, or allow 8 Wii U friends to secure a lobby for themselves, where the group will be able to decide the stage and ruleset.
