The start of another week means it's time to look over yet more lovely screens for Super Smash Bros.. The past week brought one heavyweight piece of news as Nintendo unveiled The GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii U, bundling that announcement with details for the upcoming E3 Super Smash Bros Invitational. Another post that made headline news here was a look at the touch screen functionality in the 3DS version.
Masahiro Sakurai's updates on the Director's Room Miiverse community

…You can highlight that fighter on your screen. This is useful when you want to get back at a particular opponent. You can also highlight yourself if you need to keep better track of where you are. This is a great benefit to having your own individual screen.
Some interesting screens last week, then. Let us know which are your favourites in the poll and comments below.

I voted for Ike about to blow Mario away, although I love the one of Ike with the rocket belt! I agree with Sakurai...Is that cape fireproof?
Every King needs an epic revival platform.
I'll go with the Eruption one, because Mario's stance on the screen is funny. Kind of a tame week, I would say. But I'm not complaining.
I don't understand the choice to make characters emit steam when they're weak... one could say it's mystifying.
I wish Sakurai would have scraped the Eruption power for a chargable blue slash similar to Ragnell's actual power.
The steam pic, mainly because of how Yoshi looks on the Wii U. Pretty much like with Greninja's Substitute doll, lol.
"This is a great benefit to having your own individual screen."
So, any word recently from Nintendo about a 2nd Gamepad? I know they would be expensive, but I really think having dual Gamepads could help in a lot of games - see FF:CC. A Mario NFL game along the lines of Sluggers or Strikers - playing more like NFL Blitz than Madden - would be nice. Mario as QB, Luigi WR, Bowser at running back. DK would be linebacker. And I really want an Advance Wars sequel. Pikmin 4 multiplayer would benefit as well w/ the new touchscreen patch.
I like the steam concept and also the revive platform's color showing how close it is to vanishing.
Glad they keep showing these small tweaks such as the platform colors and the steam emissions from damaged players. All of these little things will continue to add up and hopefully this will be the best smash yet!!!
Any pic with Dedede in it is a winner.
Ike with dat rocket belt! Eruption attack was close to beating it.
Issue forty!
It's been ten months already! Good job, crew, good job.
You've helped me a lot, keeping track with Sakurai's Miiverse shenanigans and whatnot.
Voted for the touch screen, because DUH.
Also, @ThomasBW84 might want to write a column or something about today's reveal - namely, the WiiU version has a new stage: the latest iteration of Mushroom Kingdom, "Mushroom Kingdom U", lifted straight from, you guessed it, New Super Mario Bros. U.
The best shot here is obviously with Ike's Eruption! I really don't like the steam effect at high damage, personally. Hope this can be turned off.
"King Dedede seems really impressed with his revival platform" Looks to me more like he's really impressed with the Wii Fit Trainer's ultra toned bod'!
The steam one, as it's a noticable addition to showing what matters during gameplay.
This game will cause the Wii U's first online overload to the point no one can get a decent match in for like 2 days. LOL I can tell already! ESPECIALLY if this game still plans to release in the holidays.
Aw, still no blue flames?
@Rafie That makes me wonder if the Eshop servers will go down again when SSB4 3DS is up.. Same for Wii U.
Instant buy on 3DS.
I hope that this comes out before Connecticon.
Dark Emperor! Hell yeah!!
@absuplendous. 4/5 good effort
Online connection for this game, both 3ds and Wii U will be so overloaded, it will be unplayable. Simple as that. The hype for this game is so freakin high..steam is starting to come out of my body.LOL Horrible joke and I know it.
@Aceboss100
Steam? You mean your damage is that high?
@AlexSora89
No I mean hype... or excitement.. I know the steam has to do with damage but im talking about hype..plus I know its a bad joke
I don't know if I like the steam or not. I'll have to try it. But I love the jet pack! Its a great idea. I just hope the cape is fire-resistant!
Nice details with the revival platforms and the steam. I like that Sakurai and his team are paying attention to small details like these.
I agree with the Greninja all the way up up there in the comments. These pictures were okay, but nothing really cool, except for the Jet pack Ike one.
