To go with today’s screenshot, Sakurai passed along the following info:

The Assist Trophy, Midna! This is the 3DS version. She’s going to grab and throw things all over the place. Her uncontrollable, whimsical nature remains intact.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 isn’t out yet, but you can already save on the game – if you intend to play on the Wii U or 3DS.

Amazon has both of these versions available for $10 off. Aside from the PS4 and Xbox One versions, all other releases have maintained their original prices strangely enough.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will launch in North America this Tuesday.
