A Pac-man double today, the first shot details the 3DS exclusive stage:
Pac-Maze is a stage exclusive to the 3DS version, created in the Pac-Man motif. If you eat 100 Pac-Dots, Power Pellets will appear in your color.
Sakurai continues, drawing focus to the series’ trademark power pellets:
If you eat a Power Pellet, the monsters will become vulnerable and you can defeat them just by touching them. An important point is that the monsters will become vulnerable only on your screen, which means that they can still damage your opponents!! This is one of the unique game features only possible in the 3DS version.
Miyamoto suggested Pac-Man inclusion for Smash Bros. Brawl, Sakurai thought it was “a little too farfetched”

Pac-Man is joining the Super Smash Bros. series for the first time through the upcoming Wii U and 3DS games. However, it turns out that the classic character could have been included in the previous entry, Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
Masahiro Sakurai wrote in the latest issue of Famitsu that Pac-Man was a possibility for Brawl courtesy of a suggestion from Shigeru Miyamoto:
“During development of Smash Bros. Brawl, Mr. Shigeru Miyamoto of Nintendo approached me and asked, ‘Can’t we have Pac-Man as a guest character?’ At the time, imagining the image of Pac-Man and his incomplete pizza shape, I thought to myself, ‘Hmmm… That’s a little too farfetched.'”
Sakurai also mentioned in his column that coming up with character ideas for a Smash Bros. game may seem easy, but it takes a great deal of work to implement on the development side.

I think Sakurai’s a little bit proud of today’s screenshots. The first is of Mega Man’s final smash:
Mega Man.EXE and Mega Man Volnutt!! They only appear for a split second, but the modeling is so detailed. And if that’s the case…!
And of course no Mega Man news would be complete without a dose of Mega Man X:
…How can we not use it for trophy creation?! Today’s update is a rare mix of Wii U and 3DS images in the same post.

A sharp looking costume in today’s screenshot, Sakurai details how the Mii Gunner’s cannon will work aesthetically:
The Mii Gunner in his suit. Looking sharp! The arm cannon’s design will change depending on the outfit, but the attacks and projectiles will be the same.

Some more teasing from Mr Sakurai today, this time pertaining to Little Mac:
The pink sweatshirt looks really cool on Little Mac, so you can use that outfit in this game… How can a pink sweatshirt look so cool?
He doesn’t stop there:
Looks like some of you noticed that this version of Little Mac wasn’t shown at E3. There are many things, like Link’s Skyward Sword tunic design I posted earlier, that haven’t been revealed yet.

A double dose of Smash Run news today, Sakurai details some of the enemy variants that will appear in the mode:
Here’s a Poppant, an enemy that appeared in the previous game in this series. Poppants will appear in Smash Run, scampering around as they drop a variety of items.
He continues with the second shot:
There are other bonus characters that appear in this game, too. Here’s an Iridescent Glint Beetle from the Pikmin series. Keep hitting it!! Keep hitting it for gold!!

It’s unknown whether this will be the same build as E3 or whether or not they will have something new in-store.

Mii fighters make a return today, Sakurai explains how they stack up next to Mario:
Some of the physical characteristics of Miis get carried over when you use them as Mii Fighters. The smaller ones become speed fighters and the bigger ones are more akin to power fighters.

Keeping things a little less traditional today, Sakurai details an interesting cameo to come to the 3DS version of Smash:
The all-time classic Balloon Fight returns to the modern age, now playable with four players. This is only a small piece of this jam-packed game.
