It’s been a while since we’ve had a character reveal, but today Ike has been confirmed for the newest Wii U and 3DS battles! Sakurai had this to say:

Ike, the swordsman of magnificent strength, joins the battle!! Strike your foes down with his powerful smash attacks.

He also went into a bit of detail about his appearance this time around:

For this game, Ike’s design is based on the hero that appears in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. His sword deals heavy damage in Smash Bros., so this design suits him very well! Rest assured, he can use Aether as well.

The official screenshots for Ike’s release can be found below.

Been a while since we’ve had a 3DS screenshot! Sakurai details an interesting tidbit about team battles today:

In previous games in the series, if you chose the red team in a team battle, your Mario would have been red. But now you can choose any color you want! The color outlining the characters will show their team affiliation.

Colours, colours everywhere! Sakurai gets into the nitty gritty of mirroring character models today:

The leg and arm positions of some characters will automatically be mirrored when facing left or right. Mario, for example, will have his chest shown in the foreground regardless of whether he’s facing right or left. This was quite a tedious task, but thanks to it we can show the best features of each character even better.

He also provides an example of how it was before this change:

Here’s another example: in the previous games, you saw the back of Kirby’s head when facing left. Now Kirby looks great from any angle.
