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

Wow. How nice this E3 was for the reveals. I LIKE THE 4-POSE.

Miis for me.I can't wait to play as myself and have a friendly fight against my favorite characters.

Easy choice this week. Four gaming legends all in one place

Couldn't stand how last week was full of "MIIS ARE A WASTE", "OMG PALUTENA WHAT A WASTE SHE'S NOT NESS OR CRAPTAIN FALCON PUNCH" "PACMAN DOESN'T FIT IN THIS IS A NINTENDO GAME"

And Palutena easily wins she was the character I wanted most! NOW BRING OUT THE CHOIR BOYS, SHULK AND CROM SAKURAI

Easy. Gaming Mount Rushmore. Mario, Sonic, Mega Man, and Pac-Man all in one game.

Oh, and we'll know the full roster on September 13th, which is the Japanese release date for the 3DS version. Actually, we'll probably know before hand thanks to review copies.

The iconic pic is obviously the best

Homerun contest! And honestly, how can not like at least one picture...

To me it's Palutena. I'm still so happy she's a newcomer. I know the pic with the iconic characters is more significant, but to be honest, I haven't felt anything about Pac-Man for quite a while. I still like that he's in, don't get me wrong.

Sonic, Megaman, Mario, and Pac-Man able to battle each other. The stuff of dreams! Very excited for this. I do hope Falcon joins the fray soon though as he's my favourite!

Sonic, Mega Man, and Pac-Man: the perfect triumvirate. No more third-party characters are needed.

Also, I hope the roster will end up being large enough that we won't look back on Palutena as a wasted slot.

@siconlol No keep that crap gone. Sakurai has gone above and beyond already.

Super Duper Mii Fighters!

Have to go with the great 4.

Like all the pictures. I can't wait until October. It's going to be the best month ever since I celebrate my daughter's and my birthday that month

You know you're a video game icon when you're in Smash Bros.

@SahashraLA: Get better soon! I'll be praying for ya! & God bless! On-topic, Nintendo seems to be representing women more w/ their ips.

@Everyone: My fav is the legendary 4, but I also like gold Samus.

Last one wins hands down! My childhood heroes in 1 game! Finally!

Together at last, indeed! Best cast ever? Rayman would also deserve a spot, I'd say. And Bomberman. And Astro Boy, just for fitting in nicely and having an EPIC game on GBA.

@Shambo Another person who also believes that Bomberman should be included? I like you.

"Paper Mario makes the cut !". Please make it happen.

Some of the other ones on the website are amazing , my favourite being the Mii + villager addition. Also didn't they confirm Game & Watch's return in the Pac-Man video?

You just can't top the image that has 4 of the biggest gaming icons out there, really.

Can't wait for this game to be released so that these interminable weekly updates can cease. Still, the game looks nice.

Golden Samus. Nuff said. I want that on my desktop.

Although I do like the four icons posing together!

There should be another option with something to the effect of :

Seen enough of it by now so don't really care. Stop bothering with this until it is close to release.

@unrandomsam Actually, I kind of agree. I think Sakurai should just withhold any more details until release, but then again, we don't have to pay any attention to these.

Man, every other pic this week pales in comparison with the ultimate gaming team of mario, megaman, sonic and pac-man. I mean, that is the perfect smash bros. photograph and the perfect pic to announce the game with the line: "4 LEGENDS, 1 GAME, TOGETHER AT LAST. SUPER SMASH BROS. 4".

I would literally cry seeing that.

The four video game icons of the 80's, all together in one epic fighting game.

@WaveBoy That is the only third party character that is missing: Simon Belmondo from Konami's Castlevania. Too much perfection in a game should be a crime.

i cant wait for pac and mega man

Oh nostalgia

If you told me that Mario, Sonic, Megaman and Pacman would be fighting each other in a major budget game in the future when i was a kid, i would have slapped you.

I like how Sakurai added Sonic's '91 pose in that four picture. Now I want that pic as my wallpaper! XD

They should add Ryu from Street Fighter.

I know it's obvious, but the retro gaming gods picture wins my vote. Come on, that's my childhood! Right there!

I voted for Meloetta (no explanation needed, well, yeah, It's very, very, very cute!!!, XD), but, if I could add other vote more, then, I will choose for the 4 companies (Nintendo, Sega, Namco, Capcom), XD

I chose the four legends together as pretty much everyone else did, but Golden Plains was a close second. Having some New Super Mario Bros. 2 representation as the 3DS iteration of the classic Mushroom Kingdom stage was a more than warmly welcome surprise to me, especially given the Mushroom Kingdom U stage seven days before that once again gave the impression the Wii U version of the next SSB is gonna hog all the good stuff.

Born in 1980, Pacman is more old school than Donkey Kong, Mario, Megaman, Sonic, and pretty much everybody...

Together again is an easy win for my vote. Man, it's gonna be a tough choice between Rosalina or Pacman. Rosalina's my gal, but as a product of the 80's I've got an 8-bit ghost chomping Pac Tattoo on my back...

@ModestFan93 I played the first Bomberman multiplayer literally untill I could barely move my fingers anymore. Nobody ever truely beat me back then. Have played many other games in the series since then, and my favourite one in the collection is the Japanese tin box GBC game Pocket Bomberman, my favourite to play was Bomberman DS for 8 player single card play

Wait, no home run contest on wii u?
I will be so so so so so pissed off if they add all the goodies and mini games to 3DS but there won't be anything extra on wii u. That is the freaking wrong direction!

Palutena's hand must hurt...

I just find it hilarious how Palutena was the lamest announcement at Nintendo's E3 ...
Seriously Sakurai, just announce Ridley.

The gaming legends!

Also I disagree with Melksc.
