We hope you agree that Mondays are made a little better with more Super Smash Bros. screens, with this 13th entry in our series being unlucky for absolutely no-one; Masahiro Sakurai has been busy, as always, on the Super Smash Bros. Director's Room Miiverse community board. Last week's major revelation (on Friday) was confirmation of a Super Mario Galaxy stage, at this point definitely coming to the Wii U version — the 3DS entry will have unique stages of its own, of course.
Aside from that reveal, Sakurai-san showed off the new design for capsules in the games, explained that Marth's sword has a powerful tip and that "The Villager's bug catching net...is actually a grapple move...sort of like Link's Clawshot and Samus's Grapple Beam." There was also a 3DS screen designed to show off the thick, stylised and customisable outlines in the 3DS game, with the following description given:
The characters' thick outlines are only available in the 3DS version. Only the external outline is thickened and won't appear in instances like when the hands or feet are overlapping. It's got a softness to it and is not just black.
You can see last week's images below, and as always click on the date headings to see the original Miiverse posts.

mmmm dat sweet sweet Mario Galaxy stage. Think I'm going to have to load up the Wii and play Mario Galaxy 2 now.
Voted at the most random one of the bunch
lol easy to predict which one would get most votes before even seeing them all
I was going to say "Dat Galaxy Stage" in the comments, but the poll already did it for me. Thanks Nintendo Life!
@Goginho I know, right?
@linktothepichu mhmm
Link and Marth got beef with each other.
Dat Mario Galaxy stage.
Urk that pikachu.... Too adorable to not vote for it.
Does anyone know what the deal with these capsules is ? The look almost the same as teh ones in Dragonball and basicly serve the same purpose.
Is there some kind of connection, a cultural thing that i dont get ?
On Topic: Im voting for the villager, i love that little happy fella
Obvious winner is obvious!
Galaxy stage...... sorry, I just drooled all over the keyboard.
Villager netting Link. He will take him to Nook, but rather than sell, he will have Nook make a code out of him, so his friends in other towns can have their own Link.
That galaxy stage will be a big disappointment if it does not use some of the funky gravity effects they used in the games.
This is the only game I'm looking forward to at the moment.
Why do the 3DS screenshots always stink? Why can't we have interesting screenshots of the 3DS version? I guess they are trying to promote the Wii U, but still... the 3DS version is cool too!
Why are those capsules so stout? It's quite weird looking.
@Kiokothepirate Sakurai has said gravity effects will be part of that stage, hit up the story link in the article
(spoilers)
If Wii Fit trainer can be either gender, I'm hoping some other characters get that as well...
especially Marth to Lucina.
@Morpheel Same here! Not to mention I'm still obsessed with Pokemon Y at the moment.
I actually liked the picture of The Villager netting Link the most. Pretty cool stuff.
@Specters I only got it. Was playing it about 5 minutes ago!
I was going to vote for the adorable Pikachu one but Marth and Link going at it was pretty epic.
The Super Mario Galaxy stage looks amazing.
I see dat Mario Galaxy stage, and I'm like:
Mmmmm... yup!
Mario Galaxy stage should get 100% of the vote.... that's just one sweet donkey level.
Please watch the profanity — TBD
Mario Galaxy was a close second, for sure.
I think I'm the only one in the world who isn't looking forward to the Galaxy stage. The gravity is going to make it hard to battle on.
@shinokami I disagree with the graphics for TLOU.... While it had its moments where you said to yourself "wow", but too many parts just had disgustingly blurry textures,low polygon models, TERRIBLE frame rate hiccups, and all around terrible IQ. I would rate the visuals as a 8/10 just because of the moments that were impressive, but all the issues with frame rate, most textures and low polygons in some of the areas just made the game look like a hot mess that really was jarring that I can't ignore
Honestly Pikmin 3 looked better, a lot more polish. Dynamic Lighting looked amazing( I'm so happy Nintendo made the Wii U powerful enough to render dynamic lighting without any frame rate hiccups)
I would give it a 9/10 in the visuals department (my only complaint with the visuals was the lack of anisotropic filtering on the ground textures, you could really see it badly when you did a zoom in on what The captains see)
@element187 Pikmin 3 looked better than TLOU?! Wow! I've heard it all now. Pikmin 3 didn't have as much background or anything like that compared to TLOU! Come on now! While I can agree there was some hiccups here in there, TLOU is still a much superior looking game. I don't want to downplay P3 as it's a wonderful looking game. I mean it is a next gen game versus a previous gen game pushing the limits of the console it's on.
Now I'm sure that Nintendo will optimize the Wii U's hardware to push out a game that looks way more superior to TLOU. Probably a new Metroid, Zelda, Monolith, etc. It just hasn't done it yet.
@Einherjar Dangit I was going to say the same thing about the Capsules with the whole DBZ thing. Hmm...I wonder if Goku would be a surprise character. LOL Hahaha Wishful thinking!
Is it just me, or are pics of the day getting boring?
Aside from new reveals, I just skim over them.
It's obvious which one will get higher votes.
everyone that didnt vote for galaxy hasnt played galaxy and needs to.
Swooshy swords all the way.
Awesome!!!
I can't wait to be the villager. I'm gonna nickname him patrick batemanimal.
You caught a Legendary Hero! ...But where's the milk?
I wonder what my Encyclopedia says about my new catch!
@Rafie Nah, i highly doubt that, and besides, they look like that since Melee, so there where plenty of opportunitys of a DB character to sneak in
Arrived late, voted for the Mario Galaxy stage.
It's not the 3DS screenshot, for once, but, you know, Galaxy. Does anything else really need to be said?
@luigifan2000 I played and completed Galaxy 1 and 2, and I didn't vote for it.
Oh wow, I'm thinking of the mario galaxy stage being a full sphere with gravity. You get smashed you fly and orbit the thing like in angry birds space. If you have too much damage you fly out of orbit lol. Can't wait for that stage wow.
@Rafie LOL I agree I have nothing to say in the matter all I know is this Pikman 3 isn't even a GOTY nominee and TLOU is so all is well is proven of that contradicting comment.
Why does the 3DS only get one screenshot... Everytime?!
@Sir_Anthony
Sometimes 2.
Mario Galaxy stage!! And those mini capsules looks cute! <3
You caught a Hero of Time!
Now, who's gonna save Hyrule?
