Feature: A Week of Super Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS Screens - Issue Twenty Six

First vote and comment!

Gotta love Little Mac taking on Megaman. never thought I'd see the day.

Bowser breaking the bottle by tripping on it!

There's something so wrong about that first picture. It's like he's punching a giant parade balloon or something lol ..so I'mma have to go with Bowser & Peach, Diddy, and the 3DS image, since those always look good.

Never noticed how huge Mega Man head is. lol

Didn't have to see the other pictures to know which 1 I was voting for. Question is - can Megaman take a punch? He looks kinda glass jawed there.

I'm really looking forward to trying out Little Mac! I've never played a Punch-Out game, but I think I'd be good with his fighting style. He'll be a nice addition to the roster.

Samus and Little Mac. Now, I don't ship but...they're being shipped so hard right now!

That Megaman pic reminded me of the big headed characters from Tekken 2. I still voted for Bowser, as it is a reference to 3D World.

@rjejr Don't worry. He's used to taking abuse. Everyone interpret that how they want.

Also, Mac's punches can send anyone reeling. That Mike Tyson match is totally canon in my mind.

That Nintendog... is TOO BIG!!

Eh, wasn't that interesting of a week (even when putting Diddy's reveal into account).

Bowser is my favorite due to the subtle nod to 3D World. That and his pose looks so silly.

Sakura!!!!
Y u no post 3ds pics
... or at least as many as the Wii u pics

Well, Mega Man took quite a punch in the jaw from Pharaoh Man so I'm sure another one won't kill him.

Poor guy though...everyone's out to break his jaw.

Edit: I wonder if they purposefully chose Mega Man to get punched in that picture because of the cartoons...

Bowser and the fairy! Nice reference to Super Mario 3D World. I don't care much for Diddy personally, really- and his hands just look creepy like that, eugh.

The fairy in a bottle doesnt makes any sense. In the games, it only heals 8 hearts, while when you get a heart container, it refills them all.

Man, the 3DS version will sell a significant amount of copies. I'm still not hyped because I have never ever played or even tried any Smash Bros. game. Seriously, what's up with that?

Mega Man looks huge next to Little Mac.

@B-Squared don't... even... go there. Or I'll ship YOU off to Skye!

@Giygas_95 Now I got your power. :3

@ToniK I actually think the Wii U version will sell more copies than the 3DS version outside of Japan. But seriously you NEED to play a Smash game! It's my favorite series of all time! it's just that good!

If only there was a "choose all" option because all pics are good really, shows more about new characters, we now know that a bottled fairy is a new item, etc.

@ToniK Contrary to what people'll lead you to believe the WiiU version will outsell the 3DS version.

@Undead_terror

I guess that would be the Um, I can't decide option.

@Gridatttack In the first Zelda and Link's Adventure faries did indeed restore you to full health, A Link to The Past started the trend that only Heart Containers do that (in the first game they'd just add a heart and give you 1 heart back).

"The smash bros series doesn't stay true to scale"

That...is that supposed to be a...?
...R-Ridley?
Sakurai, don't you DARE tease me.

Also...how many healing items are there in the game? 4? 5? Isn't that...a little too many?

Samus and Little Mac. Just a nice picture really.

How is it that Rare didn't take Diddy Kong with them when they left? Too bad we don't get Conqer or Banjo in the fight.

@Xtremetdifan Because Wii U screens are prettier. They're going to show more shots from Wii U since it's in HD instead of the 3DS version, which looks worse than Brawl. Makes perfect sense.

@FireHorsePrime Because Diddy was made in conjunction with the Donkey Kong franchise and so Nintendo retained the rights. Conker and Banjo are independent series and never belonged to Nintendo.

@DestinyMan There's a big difference between what Smash does to series like Pikmin and Kirby in terms of scaling and what people are suggesting with Ridley. Each series stays true to scale (i.e. the Mario characters are sized proportionately to eachother, etc.). All the Kirby characters, while larger than they should be, are proportionate to eachother.
If you shrink down Ridley and not Samus, it'd look ridiculous seeing them side by side. Samus fighting a giant Ridley is an iconic image in gaming and if he suddenly shrunk, it'd look stupid...

The wait for this game is killing me! I'll just have to have fun with brawl until then.

Mega Man looks like he has such an unusually enormous head next to Little Mac.

Will there be a side scrolling type adventure in this one like the last? I think I liked that most about the last one with doubles.

They should add Bomberman to this game. that would be awesome

I like these new shots.

And did anyone else have to get a system update today for the eShop? Because I did. Took only a few seconds though, so I don't know if its just for patching or not.

I just realized Megaman has a HUGE head.

@Metal_Slugger he's already said there will be now Subspace Emmisary type mode... If anything we will get something like what Melee had..

Bowser is all like "TRA-LA-LA-LA-LAAAA" And peach is all like "Yeah you run away!"

Couldn't care less for these screenshots. There's still no release date, and I'd rather play the actual game than look at photos.

@PrincessEevee9 I sure hope so but that would require some serious install base growth. To me it seems the 3DS version will be a bigger hit worldwide. This is just my own speculation after observing the Wii U situation from the start. I love my Wii U though, it's already my favorite console of all time and the Wii U version of this game probably will be the better one Not sure if it will sell enough consoles though when so many people already have the platform to play this game. Which is 3DS. 43 million of them.

@Metal_Slugger that was already debunked... This time there will be no such thing

@Gridatttack It might be more of a reference that it can revive you from any condition, including death, which a heart container cannot do. In that respect, a fairy is more powerful than a heart container.

I'll be curious to see how the game plays on the 3DS. I remember back when I was a little one I would dream of taking Smash with me where ever I went. I may have to splurge and pick up an XL when this game comes out.

Thanks guys not so thrilled about that news, but I will most likely be picking it up anyways.
