Another week has passed, Super Smash Bros. fans, and Masahiro Sakurai has once again delivered new screens to entice us ahead of the 2014 (we hope) release. Some are funny, some reveal genuine information about the game, and all are delicious eye candy.
This week we have four Wii U screens and one for the 3DS. In terms of revelations about the games themselves, Sakurai-san has explained that in the current build Donkey Kong is "super strong", but that battle records will be assessed during development to balance out the roster. The Villager has two balloons — presumably to float back to stages when off the edge — that can be popped, and Pikachu's Thunder Jolt move isn't powerful enough to prevent Pit's Upperdash Arm attack.
We think there are some good'uns this week, and if you want to view the full Miiverse posts simply click on the date headings above each image.
As always we want to know what you think of these and which is your favourite; share your opinions in the poll and comments below.

Mega Man waits on the bridge everyday at the same time to watch Wii Fit Trainer as she passes by on her daily run.
megaman and wii fit lady should go out after all hes SO interested in her
Nintendo needs to buy Megaman. Like, nao.
Megaman sliding.
It's the only 3DS screenshot, I can't help it at all.
Those are all nice pics.
Some of the earlier ones weren't particularly impressive to me but I like all of those ones.
Hope this game actually impresses for a Wii U title and lives up to the hype when it releases.
God Wii U needs some big hitters, in every way.
The 3DS version looks much better. I've voted the only handheld image.
Guys, I think that pic of Mega Man watching Wii Fit Trainer run is a cutscene for Adventure Mode!
The Megaman one is awesome
Skyloft needs A LOT more bumpmaping.
If you will notice, they have decided to morph the villager and the balloon fighter into one character. Good idea Nintendo.
@ClassicSonicFan What makes you say that?
I'd vote for DK and the Mario bros., but I had to go with HD Skyloft
Wish I could've read the captions that went with these, but some juveniles thought it'd be cool to knock Smashboards offline.
Are all the Wii U photos on an angle b/c they are stills in the game? The Megaman trainer would be unplayable from that angle unless it was a "Punch Out" mode.
@rjejr,my guess is that its a character intro.
My fav screen shot is DK,Its interesting how much RD their putting in making the characters balanced.Hope DK stays beastly seeing how slow he is.But I wish they would talk about the active role namco is playing in this game.I want to hear about the advances in online multiplayer
Nice to see Wii Fit Trainer getting some love, at least in the survey right now.
Megaman looks great in that one.
These images look nicer each week. The first and the fourth images are amazing.
@WaveBoy Maybe all that freshness is within the gameplay mechanics. The difference between SSB 1 and SSB Melee is like.. a lot, and they may not look that different.
Also, it's Sakurai! That guy can do it.
Have to go with that HD fur!
@ClassicSonicFan Sakurai already said no adventure mode...
I like Pikachu and Pit do battle. Apparently, Pit will get some super armor with some of his new attacks. I'm happy to see that:)
@Dark-Luigi
your both wrong, there is an adventure mode with no cutscenes, it uses videos instead.
Drool. Going to be buying both of these at launch (obviously)
So, DK's set to be super strong this time? I think I found my preferred character - I can dominate with him in Brawl.
I know it's the only pic that didn't reveal anything, but I gotta love the one on Skyloft's bridge. It's like something straight out of a movie.
Today's screenshot, featuring a plane flying through Wuhu Island, is even better than anything from last week, though.
Who doesn't want to look at the Wii U trainer. Especially when she starts doing yoga. Mega Man keeps staring like that...he'll fry his own motherboard!
@DarkKirby Okay, you win!
Those Graphics are on par with Zelda Skyward Sword; Which is to say genuinely subpar. i expect the graphics to jump to atleast mario kart 8 before launch
@shinokami He said no mode like Subspace Emissary-styled adventure mode. He said nothing about a Melee-styled Adventure mode.
@DarkKirby
Young love. ^•^
Mega Man and Wii Fit Trainer's my favorite.
@WaveBoy Its all about Appreciation. Your brain is used to the MK7 or the dirty Wii style. Now they look like animated toy go karts and I like it. Play SSBB and compare the images side by side.
Mega Man and Wii Fit Trainer... is that Skyloft?
I picked mega man too! glad to see everyone excited
