Check out the latest Super Smash Bros. for Wii U screenshots below:

Screenshot 1

Pic of the day. Along with Robin, Lucina joins the battle!! Her physical ablilites are identical to Marth’s–it must be in her D.N.A. However, where Marth’s power is concentrated in the tip of the sword, Lucina’s attack strength is balanced throughout the weapon, which might make her easier to control. She’s also a little bit shorter than Marth.

Screenshot 2

With the Wii Fit Trainers, the male and female Robins, the Villagers, and Little Mac, varying their appearances and voices works just like selecting alternate color variations. However, whenever there is even a small difference in abilities, that character gets an actual roster slot. That is why you can select Lucina individually.

By the way…there’s probably no chance you’ll be able to see this in the game, but Lucina has the mark of Naga in her left eye.

The Binding Isaac is something that could still come to the 3DS. On his official blog, creator Edmund McMillen gave a simple “no” when asked if the game is no longer a possibility for Nintendo’s platform.

It’s an interesting comment for sure. Sadly though, McMillen didn’t elaborate beyond his terse response.

Keiji Inafune has shown some interest in going the Mega Man Legends-style route with Mighty No. 9.

Inafune, fielding a question about the possibility during a Q&A session at SGC 2014, said that he’d “love to see” Mighty No. 9 go in “any directions that would fit the series”. He then asked attendees if they’d back a project that incorporates the same kind of gameplay as Mega Man Legends – which was met with a roaring cheer.

Inafune’s translator ended by saying, “he’s got nothing to announce today but the fact is he’s heard all of you shout out like that. He’s definitely putting that in his pocket and taking it back with him.”

Team17 came close to losing its Worms IP – not once, but twice.

In the late 1990s for example, Team17 signed a publishing deal after receiving extra funding for a game behind schedule. The Worms IP would have been relinquished to the publisher if sales targets for the title were not met within 12 months.

Thankfully, everything ended up working out, as the target was eventually beaten by 1.7 percent.

Team17 owner Debbie Bestwick wrote in a Develop column:

Back in May, Nintendo announced that Mario Kart 8 would be receiving Mercedes-Benz DLC. The news was accompanied by a commercial featuring a crossover between Mario and the car company.

According to Mercedes-Benz Japan president and chief executive officer Kintaro Ueno, the ad “has exceeded our expectations.” No surprise there, as the video has been viewed over two million times. Mercedes-Benz Japan has also confirmed an increase in visitors to its showrooms and demand for the car.

Ueno said:

“[The commercial] was quite a talking point, bringing a lot of people to the showroom. This is a new market segment for us, but it has exceeded our expectations. I can say that it’s going well.”
