It's that time again, dear readers, for Super Smash Bros. screenshot goodness from the Miiverse Director's Room community, all courtesy of Masahiro Sakurai.
Last week brought another character reveal, with Sonic announced during Nintendo Direct and looking rather dashing on his profile page screens. His arrival was special enough for Sakurai-san to post an additional daily screenshot, taking our tally for the week up to six images on which to feast our eyeballs.
The Miiverse posts themselves (which you can see by clicking the headings below) were light on details, with some more interesting examples mentioning the spin attacks from Link and Toon Link being rather deadly when combined, along with the first sightings of jump springs in these entries — Mega Man gets his boost from Rush, of course. Yet for our money this is one of the stronger weeks in terms of the quality of the images, in terms of their entertainment value and their visual fidelity; this title is looking pretty. All of that is with regards to the Wii U version, however, as the 3DS didn't make an appearance last week.
So without further pre-amble, here they are.

The one with Mario, Sonic and Mega Man! When I saw it the first time, my jaw dropped! It's just unbelievable amazing to see the three most iconic videogame characters officially on a single image.
Olimar gettin' down with the WFT.
Wii Fit trainer looks bad but its (or, her) stage is much worse.
I've voted for toon Link but this week didn't bring us anything pretty.
Two springs is pretty cool. Mario vs. Sonic vs. Mega Man is awesome too. There's room for one more gaming icon...
Link and toon link tag team those fools!
Sonic, Mario and Mega Man
Were Mario and Megaman drunk at their "party"? You'd have to be to even almost get hit by Sonic's dive kick with all the start up it has.
Mario, Sonic and Megaman, period.
That image is like the gaming equivalent of the freaking Arafat-Clinton handshake for crying out loud! That pic won as soon as it was posted online.
Oh, and I added it as the page image for http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/AndTheFandomRejoiced/SuperSmashBros by the way.
Mario. Sonic & Mega Man all together in the same game.
Big moment in video gaming history.
Smash Bros FTW!
What 3DS screens?
Mario, sonic and megaman.
@WaveBoy Amen!
Voted for the "jump and freeze" 80's shot from Mega Man and Sonic! Very epic. Actually, all the pics were fantastic.
That Mario and Mega Man were like, "Don't step on my kicks!!!!" LOL
YOURE TOO SLOW
@Chris720 It seems that they only show one 3DS screen shot every two weeks. I wonder why they show way more Wii U screenshots than the 3DS?
@idork99 Well clearly the wii u needs more attention and obviously it will be the better version.
@WaveBoy Yup that model is perfect!
Mario, Mega Man, and Sonic.
It's funny...In that picture it looks like Mega Man is jumping around screaming like a monkey.
If Namco is helping with development, I NEED to see Pac-Man and my life will be complete.
I voted for the first screenshot b/ cToon link looks like an actual 3D plastic toy rather than a 2D cell shaded cartoon. And whatever is going in w/ those purple expolsions.
Does anybody know what is going on w those purple explosions? Is it a game thing or a Link special move? Anybody know if that's an in engine game screenshot or a cut scene. It looks really good.
And who are they hitting in the middle, just noticed the 2 hands.
@rjejr Dk?
@Chris720 That's just the running title, as I said in the article it's all Wii U this week
@Longforgotten - Donkey Kong sounds good. I was thinking big like Bowser or Ganadorf but DK is more likely judging by the fingers. I have no idea where the rest of him is though.
Sigh
No 3DS screens.
That one with Sonic, Mario & Mega Man would blow minds if I had a time machine to go back to the 90s.
Sonic, Mario and Megaman FTW.
Only if we could get one more classic character, that came from the arcades, that likes to eat ghosts, and is round and yellow????
@DestinyMan
That's what I think too.
I wonder if there are still peeved off that SSB4 won't have story mode...:3
Still buying it.... for me,It's too good to say ''1 less game for me''.
@PerezBro99 i heard that Sakurai said said he won't use Namco characters in the games, i think...what's so big about pac man, the show in Disney XD ruined him for me...in my opinion, it would be kinda' out of place... :/
@Memeboy3
They ruined the pac-man franchise when the second game came out. However, it would be nice to see 4 retro classic characters duke-it-out in a fight.
I'm still hoping for little Mac to be in the game🙏
That image with Sonic, Mario, and Mega Man looks so awesome!
" Sonic announced during Nintendo Direct and looking rather dashing on his profile page." I see what you did there.
Sorry I ask here but.... can you explain me why here on Nintendolife (and not only) there's a MASSIVE hate against the 3ds?
@DestinyMan: you and others haven't noticed at all, but every videogame sites I've seen recentely is FULL of 3ds haters... (there are even some here). Keep your eyes open, they are everywhere.
@PerezBro99 Falcon punch vs Star punch!
Mario, Sonic, and Mega Man. I absolutely love crossovers and when I see those three from the three best game characters in my opinion, I think "Well, this game will be EPIC!"
Mario, Sonic and Mega Man. For the same reasons as 0Games.
Obviously the Mario, Sonic, and Mega Man one.
Also, I don't get why so many are against Pac-Man being included, he's every bit as iconic as they are. If its about movesets, look at characters like Olimar; how many of his attacks involve not using Pikmin?
Is it sad that when I looked at these I started rating them like I was Professor Oak from Pokemon Snap? Something tells me I want a sequel after all...
I usually dont vote but i voted and then looked and so far i had the same thought as everyone else. Waiting on a new character that shall blow everyone away. Ha why do i get the feeling that dixie kong is going to make it into the scene specially since she's in the Kong Game and being the game needs more female players ?
Either way im tired of seeing the same ole same ole. It was special when you announced the Fit Trainer and Mega Man but other than that why would anyone really really want to see their same old character line up ? Id just assume the original cast is there so no need to show them really and one else agree ? I mean you can mention them but surely making a big deal when they probably were in the first 2 or 3 games ~ Toon Link im surprised at to be honest but then again what game just came out lol
