Masahiro Sakurai's Pic of the Day routine on Miiverse has been a regular source of information and entertaining screenshots for Super Smash Bros. on Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. With the portable version now released in Japan and so many details having been revealed, the game's director has addressed his plans for the remainder of his posts.
The good news for fans is that they will continue until the Wii U version arrives, though Sakurai-san's wording does perhaps suggest that the home console iteration — like the 3DS title — may hit Japan a little before the West.
So there you go. As a little bonus below is today's standard Pic of the Day, showing more 3DS-specific characters with two ghost enemies.
We have another month or two of screenshots to come; will you be checking them out?

That's cool, it's nice to see Sakurai giving awesome fan service while also enjoying himself too
I guess this also confirms that there will also be a gap between the Japanese and Western releases of the Wii U version... Still good to see Pic of the Day continuing.
Street Pass Mii Plaza ghost making an appearance with the yellow shield!
It'll be interesting to see what funny pictures he'll make since I miss those.
@Bulbousaur That is worrying indeed but I trust in him.
He won't talk about hidden features... Dixie, Ridley, Mewtwo and Chorus men confirmed
Wii U release date after Christmas in the west looking likely then. Its Sept 16 and still no date, thats cutting it a tad close even for Nintendo. And if they are planning on waiting until after 3DS releases Oct 3rd they're inflicting unneccassary pain on their fans.
If they dont want to give us a date Iwata can at least make an announcement gauranteeing it before Christmas. All those reports everywhere about the Meyer 11/21 rumour and Nintendo doesnt even respond? A little communication please is all I ask.
Oh, and we still need a Captain Toad date. A game that quirky looking is going to need some advertising going up against SSB U, Skylanders and Disney Infinity. Get the lead out Nintendo.
At least I did see a HW commercial on TV last night. And Bayonetta 2 is adult so that wont be competing w/ CT:TT. And I dont think B2 will get a lot of mainstream advertising anyway, hopefully some gaming magaxines and websites will cover it, its a gamers game.
The StreetPass Mii Plaza ghosts are still a pain, I see.
Where else might they appear next?
Pac-Man x Find Mii?
Even though sakurai won't be releasing new information I was still hoping for a newcomer/new challenger trailer for EDIT the not yet officially announced newcommers (had to edit my comment becease of spoilers, I'm sorry).
@darkswabber Blame the leaker...this is why we can't have nice things.
That's nice. I been trying so hard not to go on sites and pages that may contain spoilers from the JP version of the game. I don't mind the drops of info from Sakurai but the instant pour from the web is too much.
Edit: Now I have to make sure not to read certain comments like I did just now -_-
@darkswabber Some people are still trying to avoid spoilers!!!
Please, don't put them in your comments. PLEEEASE
I kept thinking it was bakemon from digimon but woo a ghastly.
@Bulbousaur Yup
@Ananymoose or he's referring to the hidden characters that have not been announced yet
Picture of day was a clever idea to keep people interested in the game for more than a year while they continue with the development. Every developer should do something like that.
No more new info?...Whut about the Wii U version. :c
@Ananymoose obviously he's referring to the unlockable characters. Wake up and smell the roses, already it's been reported that trophies of those characters are in the game
But there's no secrets anymore with the 3DS being a large chunk of what's on the Wii U version too. Unless Wii U has it's own Smash Run like mode and more stages there's really no need for these Pics anymore unfortunately. Here comes a handful of pointless reveals
Cool. I can deal with that.
Neato
@Jahir whoah I'm sorry, I didn't meant to spoil it for you or anyone else. I will edit my comment immediately.
and once again I'm really sorry.
