After causing quite a stir two weeks ago, the Super Smash Bros. hype was relatively reserved last week, though the 3DS version was particularly prominent in Nintendo's Gaming Lounge broadcast from Comic-Con.
On the screenshot front, Masahiro Sakurai continued his fine form on the Director's Room Miiverse community. There were some interesting details, covering stages for popular franchises and games, along with an early look at the opening screen menu on the 3DS, Wii U button included.

Mii: Hello. What brings you two to my room?
Dat Starfox stage!
Got to give my vote to the Great Fox picture.
That HD Star Fox stage is stunning.
The great fox photo made my morning. =D
I'm just excited to see that Challenges are for sure back. Hopefully he does another 3 sets of 120.
And the only perfect attendance stage in Smash will return! Albeit, with a different name, I'm assuming.
GREAT FOX!
Never has a menu screen looked so enticing.
The Great Fox and the Robin photo
Although Nintendo I am still waiting for you to announce the original japanese Robin i.e. Isaac (in English) from Golden Sun! He has been such a demanded character as well plus his inclusion is a reasonable request considering Golden Sun is an epic and iconic Nintendo RPG!
I am watching.... and waiting. Waiting for the Golden Sun to rise again.
That menu screen is looking pretty sweet.
Starfox baby!!
It's all about Starfox. I really hope Falco and Wolf return. I miss them.
So can't wait for these games. The pics look amazing. Loved the one with Robin but can't decide which one is my favorite.
@Lasermaster123 Well Takamaru just got disconfirmed/announced as an Assist Trophy and their foamy giving us Lost Age on the Virtual Console.
A separate article should talk about Takamaru now having no chance as a playable character.
I voted the Tomadachi stage over Great Fox because I'm more attached to Tomodachi Life as a franchise. (Which is sad really.)
The menu is smexy. lol
@ModestFan93
Well Takamaru was the hero of Mysterious Murasame Castle which was never released outside Japan on the original Famicom. It just recently came out as a 3DS virtual console game!
I can say Isaac definitely has a bigger chance as he saw overseas release, the game got critical acclaim and was liked by many plus fans have been asking for his challenger appearance since he made a trophy appearance in brawl and from before as well. Golden Sun was also one of the best if not THE best game on GBA.
Sorry I didn't quite understand the rest of your comment.
The Great Fox stage looks absolutely beautiful.
@TreesenHauser If that was a reference to Back to the Future, I got it!
I'm not getting the 3ds version (can't possibly afford both), but I think the Tomodochi Life stage is pretty awesome!
@audiobrainiac You made me aware of a reference I didn't even intend to make! Good call! haha
To be perfectly honest I'm not much of a fan of this week's screenshots at all. Moveset updates usually kinda bore me, don't have much with Star Fox or Tomodachi Life, and Wily Castle being on 3DS is kind of disappointing. So by default my vote will go to the menu, even though it kind of looks.. weird.
What is the Wii U button for on the 3ds menu? Is it for character transfers?
Tomodachi Life stage = Luigi's Mansion with Miis?
Although if they want a life-draining character why not Oddish? Never enough Pokemon!
Seen a lot of pretty pictures already, I need to be able to play it myself. Even unwrapping both versions of the game will be extremely exciting. But I voted the menu screen... It raises questions, to which I'd really like to know the answer now!
Assault Great Fox ftw!!
Great Fox for sure, Assault is actually tied as my favourite Star Fox game (64 being the other). I hope aparoids make an appearance as stage hazards.
Great Fox for me, obviously, since I loved that stage since the original Smash Bros. Hope they make it big like the original, I don't like the small one in Melee. That being said... howhaa! Glorious modern Great Fox in HD!
@Lasermaster123
I tryed Golden Sun on a emulator, and honestly, it felt like a generic RPG with random encounters( maybe for that time, it wasn't so generic, now it feels outdated), it didn't have much to me continue the game. That being said, I like Isacc and his moves with psyenergy and stuff, he was propably the coolest assist trophy in Brawl, summoning that huge hand LOL. Looking from far away, he looks like Trunks SSJ XD. I hope he is in, but I don't see it happening, not enough revelance IMO, he is neither a classic( like Marth is) or a modern character (like Olimar).
Sorry if I'm late to the party. 3DS menu, a total no-brainer, especially how well it manages to evoke Brawl memories.
