Yesterday, Nintendo started sending out Masahiro Sakurai’s Mii on 3DS through StreetPass. We’re now hearing that Sakurai is appearing on Wii U as well at the WaraWara Plaza.

Note that if you go to notifications before clicking on this Mii, he’ll disappear. You’ll need to create a new account if that happens, and you may see him there with Fils-a-Mech. Remember to hit “Save This Mii”.

LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Four of the greatest icons in video game history are coming together for the first time in one incredible game. At the E3 video game trade show in Los Angeles, Nintendo revealed that PAC-MAN would be joining the cast of the upcoming Super Smash Bros. games for the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS systems. The addition of the NAMCO BANDAI icon brings together video game legends Mario, Mega Man, Sonic the Hedgehog and PAC-MAN in one game for the first time. The foursome joins dozens of other characters in the game, which will launch for Nintendo 3DS on Oct. 3, and on Wii U during the 2014 holiday season.

In the Super Smash Bros. games, PAC-MAN will generally maintain his humanoid shape, but when using specific attack moves, PAC-MAN transforms into the iconic yellow round shape he had in his arcade debut in 1980. He also has trademark actions, such as throwing fruit or eating power pellets.
