It's that time, despite this being a holiday Monday in some parts, for our usual summary of last week's Super Smash Bros. screens. The spotlight may have been stolen last week by an upcoming kart racer, in particular, but Masahiro Sakurai did keep up his usual rate of a pic a day.
As always the offerings on the Director's Room Miiverse community show a variety of aspects of the games, including moves, enemies, items and assist trophies. The final entry from last week not only revealed an assist trophy but also had an extra image — Sakurai-san spoils us.
You can see last week's Miiverse community screens below — two for 3DS and four for Wii U — and you can click on the date heading to visit the posts in question and give them a Yeah.

Pic of the day. This is his trophy. He may be an animal, and his buckles are definitely on the adorable side, but there's no denying he looks cool!! His Assist Trophy can even do things like a quick charge.

Awesome. I was first for once. It was shocking to see the poll at 100%
Go Midna!
That super leaf is tough to beat.
Hard choice between Dillion and the Tanooki Tails!
That orne is just going to be annoying.
I was so hoping Dillon would be playable but it's nice to see him as an assist trophy at least. Of all the official Nintendo e-shop heroes Dillon is the best fit for Smash Bros!
Dillon! YES!
I'd Like To Suggest A News Story...On Amazon UK Here:http://www.amazon.co.uk/Best-Sellers-PC-Video-Games/zgbs/videogames, Mario Kart 8 Is Ranked 2nd, Only Behind Watchdogs For The PS4...
@CaptOlimar30
The thing from Pushmo, Rusty Slugger, Tempo...
I wish Dillon was playable.
@Takerkaneanite6 And it is quite a bit more expensive than most other places.
There again I have paid for the Mario Kart bundle already even though not because I want the game at all but because I think the free game (I want all digital) will offset any potential price decrease in the remotely near future.
Dem Tanooki Tails!
I actually really liked the Orne picture! ...maybe it's because I'm overly obsessed with Kid Icarus Uprising!
Darn...I'd hoped Dillon would be a character...
Well, at least he's getting some recognition. Here's hoping he makes it to full character status next time around. I never even thought he'd make an appearance so I'm glad he at least made assist trophy.
Hey, here's an idea...just replace Sonic with Dillon. Afterall, he's more of a Nintendo character than Sonic is! Still, you gotta love the way he has Sonic looking all shocked!
I love the Dillon assist trophy! Really cool, and he definitely deserves some representation in this game.
Dillon deserved to be playable...
Still, I didn't even expect an assist trophy for him, so I'm thrilled nonetheless!
I was hoping Dillon would be a playable character
@FalconPunch
The thing from Puhmo is Mallo. Lol
No Wolf Link as playable character for sure =(
Dillon's Trophy, because his Assist Trophy one only means he's not playable and I blame Sonic for Dillon not being in. ( I know that's probably not true but oh well )
Aww, I'm actually disappointed that Dillon isn't playable.
Ouch i'm torn between Dillon and Sonic and the link and samus screenshots
Nice to see Dillon in there. I voted for his pic, but I also loved the Tanooki Trio.
@Zach777
I thought I remembered that being the name, but I didn't want to get called out for being wrong, so I just played it safe.
Still no Chrom? Sigh.....
@CaptOlimar30 Tempo or Lyra from HarmoKnight would've been more fun. Since it brings music based combat the series is lacking.
Please do enable the tail attack when using the Super Leaf!
The Orne... they are downright sadistic.
Awesome!
Darn. I accidentally voted for Dillon's trophy instead of the pic with him and Sonic. That was pretty amusing. This is gonna be one rockin' game.
Super Leaf! Awesome.
I was surprised when I saw Dillon as a trophy. Makes me wonder if they will put Sakurai (from Sakurai Samurai: Art of the Sword) in Smash.
@Hy8ogen They don't annonce new characters in "Pic of the Day" pics.
@Hy8ogen Ike hasn't been confirmed, right? Brawl had Ike and Marth, this one has Marth so far. I do think we'll get Chrom eventually, or Lucina (although Lucina is a Marth clone).
@Chubblings I would rather have Tharja or Noire. Lucina is uninteresting (if you know what I mean).
Now I'm pretty sure Wolf Link won't be a playable character.
Dillon is such a cool character. He should totally get his own HD retail game on Wii U.
I am the 1%! But I sincerely can't decide.
I like the takooni leaf the best, although that Dillon trophy is cool but would much rather him playable even though I didn't expect it.
WHY IS DILLION NOT A PLAYABLE CHARACTER?!?!??!?
Great collection of screen shots right there!
as a wii u owner myself, i wont even buy smash bros or mario kart 8. meh no need to pay $60 for a nintendo game while can wait for the games to be at 10 bucks.
Super Leaf. Never thought it would actually work in SSB, and yet here we are.
please.....just release the f#**^! game already.
Sonic knew Dillon would be a rival 2 him, since they both master the art of rolling, so Sonic wrote on Dillon's smash letter thing, and the rest is history.......Wrote assist trophy where it said to be a playable character.....ah forget it, he just shredded that thing up when it arrived in Dillon's mailbox.......AT SUPER SONIC SPEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!!!
@lara132231 Also, that website lead to a virus, my eyes melted and I broke my leg, plus many pictures of women flew across the screen, which my mother saw, so she grounded me, thanks alot you nincompoop bot. Also, tell your uncle Chase that they chased him outta that car, since it was stolen, and he knew it!!!!! >: P
I almost never click on these Smash Bros screen shots simply because i don't really want much of the look or characters featured to be spoiled for me. BUT
is it just me or are the 3 DS graphics starting to look really out dated?
Definitely called Dillon as an assist trophy! (If his game(s) would have been a bigger hit, he could've had secured a fighter spot, just maybe). Now I really just hope Mallo makes it as an assist trophy too.
@purple most 3DS games (aLBW for example) look a lot better on the system than on the internet pics, so I wouldn't be too worried.
ALBW does look beautiful! so does Luigi's Mansion and MarioKart 7 ...
I can't wait to play Mario Kart 8
Voted for the Super Leaf power up. It's finally time to see how'll Zero Suit Samus look with it.
I was surprised to see Dillon, so he got my vote as well. It was a tough call between Midna and the Super Leaf.
Seeing Dillon as an assist trophy is awesome and shows his game was at least popular enough to warrant an assist.
Although I would have LOVED to play as Dillon, I'm glad he at least made it in as an assist trophy. Maybe next game...
But wow! Dillon has such a cool design, and hi HD model looks fantastic! I hope that the developers for the other two Rolling Western games are making a new one for the Wii U eShop and making it even bigger and better! I wouldn't mind something a bit deeper than a tower defense/action game; perhaps something with exploration and RPG elements?
Argh, disgusting. Dillon and Midna both should be playable.
@sasoriobi you do know Nintendo games never really drop in price maybe by $5 or $10 at most unless its part of a promo or something
Dillon and Sonic for sure!
@noctowl I don't think anyone expected Dillon to be playable. We just wished it would happen. Also, he'd make a good fighter representative for some of the smaller games on the eshop.
If it were my choice, Sonic would be out the door and Dillon would be in his place.
@Gorlokk A Dillon RPG for Wii U that deals with the final FINAL battle against the Grocks would be great!
@Tsurii897 I would post the story, but i'm afraid i might get reported...
@Pit-Stain SO KAWAII SENPAI!!!! SAGOI SAGOI!!!
I would like to hear an official release date for the Nintendo 3DS version of the game.
I figured that's how the super leaf would work!
As for attacks, They should allow strong attacks(Left/Right + A) be to swing the tail in a full spin
or just pressing A to do a weak tail whip. similar to the fan item. It'll be like all hand items, when you grab them, the A button becomes different attacks,
like the beam sword, you have a weak swing and a strong swing. in the Super leaf's case, you'll have a weak whip, and a strong full spin.
@sasoriobi 10 bucks? How long are you willing to wait? 10 years?
SSBB was released in 2006 and it's value is still at least $20 in official video game stores, pawn and thrift shops, and online. What's the point of having a WiiU if you're going to disregard 1st party games as if they're rip offs?
@sasoriobi Suit yourself! I will happily pay full price for games I want.
@Hy8ogen Imagines Tharja and/or Noire in HD with accurate body physics
Eyes explode
