Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS

Forgotten about Star K.O.s? Sakurai hasn’t! Today’s screenshot details what happens when a knockout occurs from the ceiling:

The latest edition of Sakurai’s weekly Famitsu column “Think about Video Games” has surfaced on the web and in it, he talks about Robin, Lucina and why Chrom wasn’t picked selected in the end.

Here’s what he had to say:

Nintendo Everything reader gigamario has translated a bunch of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS from this week’s issue. Most of the information pertains to Robin and Lucina, but there are a few other bits as well.

All of the details can be found below.

Unsurprisingly we’re getting a look at one of the newcomers today, Sakurai shares some info on Robin:

Talking a bit more about Robin’s tomes:

The way Robin launches Arcfire is kind of crazy—he or she calls down a bolt of flame from above, then launches a pillar of fire! By the way, Robin’s tome changes with each special attack.

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

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.

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.

As promised, Nintendo today revealed the latest Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS character additions. Lucina and Robin (male/female) from the highly regarded franchise Fire Emblem will be included in the game. Captain Falcon is also returning.

All three characters were shown in a three-minute video that Nintendo debuted today. We’ll have it here soon, along with first screenshots of the new characters.

In one hour from now, Nintendo will be revealing the next character for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS. You can watch the announcement trailer above at 10 AM ET / 7 AM PT.

Will it be Shulk? Chrom? Someone else? We’ll find out soon!
