Despite this, the Miiverse post specifically says the X Bomb is not from ''Meteos''. Further clouding the issue, the design of the bomb itself has yet to be seen.

The X Bomb is an item set to appear in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. It will be an item that releases a cross-shaped explosion on detonation, either aligned diagonally or orthogonally.

Origin

An X Bomb in Meteos, idle (top) and exploding (bottom).

The origin of the X Bomb is muddled. In terms of the bomb's design, it originates from Kid Icarus: Uprising, where it was an item that Pit could throw at opponents, which then fires four balls of energy in a cross pattern that proceed to bounce around. However, the item's apparent behaviour in SSB4 is to deal instant damage along two lines; this behaviour instead originates from the Meteos series (which predates Uprising), where the X Bomb would destroy all Meteos diagonal to itself upon detonation. Despite this, the Miiverse post that revealed the item specifically says the X Bomb is not from Meteos.
