Leaks not enough information to keep your Smash cravings in check? The daily screenshots are still raging on! Today’s focus is the Spectator Mode that will be featured even in the 3DS version:

Being able to cheer someone on is what really makes spectating matches fun. This time, 1st and 2nd place will get prizes in four-player matches, and spectators can bet the gold they win on Bonus Chances.

Update: Bumped to the top. The videos have now been pulled by Nintendo. We’ve added in an alternate with all five clips.


Obviously you shouldn’t check out these videos if you’re wary of spoilers… though I imagine now we’ll be receiving official confirmations soon. Head past the break for the off-screen videos

Again, this is spoiler territory, so you can find the photo set after the break.

The Smash Bros. staple Classic Mode is the focus of today’s screenshots, Sakurai talks a little bit about how that will work:

 


What would a daily screenshot be without some sort of tease?

In Classic mode, you can choose your next challenge on the route map. Looks like Master Hand is waiting at the end, but perhaps something might change if you raise the intensity…?!

Hyrule Warriors logo

Hyrule Warriors has almost arrived overseas (well, close enough)! To prepare yourself for launch, check out this video covering the title’s origins, gameplay, pre-order bonuses, several other tidbits, and more.

Today’s Super Smash Bros. for 3DS screenshots provide a look at the game’s sounds/music menus. You’ll find both images and explanation from Masahiro Sakurai below.

Choose your songs and play with features on the bottom screen. You can listen to character voices, too. One of the new highlights for this feature is the “Play in Sleep Mode” option in the upper right. If you turn this on, you can listen to the tracks with your headphones even when your Nintendo 3DS is closed. The L and R Buttons will let you skip tracks. This means you can use it as a portable music player. Enjoy listening to the tracks you love by putting all songs in loop, shuffle, or selecting your favorite tracks!!

Nintendo has shared a few music samples from the 3DS version of Super Smash Bros. You can find them below.

Head past the break for the musicians behind Smash Bros. 3DS!
