Here's a video where I talk about Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/Nintendo 3DS. Aside for the four-player battle, I was talking about the game while simultaneously controlling multiple characters and cameras by myself. |

The artwork for "Mega Man Joins the Battle" is by Mr. Higurashi of CAPCOM. I'd love to ask people who has something to do with the characters as much as possible. |

The “pic of the day” originally started as a fun internal update for the people developing the game - we would put up a daily shot on our own corporate website. We soon decided that we wanted to share the fun with the general public, so that’s where we are today. Please keep in mind, though, that this is just meant to be a little bonus feature - we'll continue to release other information about the game on the website. | Posted separate from the regular daily pictures, without an image. | |

Pic of the day. Two that are actually not so tall. Kirby's about 8 inches high, Captain Olimar maybe a little over an inch. | Sakurai shows how the Smash series doesn't stay true to scale, with the supposed to be taller Kirby being shown as smaller than Olimar. This pic of the day was later replaced with the below image after the Nintendo Direct. | |
| August 7, 2013 |  |
A REAL pic of the day--Luigi joins the battle! In prior games, we've never introduced Luigi before release, but why not? This is the "Year of Luigi," after all. | Posted midday as a new pic of the day, after the day's Nintendo Direct confirmed Luigi's return. Sakurai additionally acknowledges how this is the first time Luigi has been revealed before the game's release. | |
| August 8, 2013 |  |
Pic of the day. Take a deep breath… |

| August 16, 2013 |  |
Pic of the day. Here's the X Bomb from Kid Icarus: Uprising. Not to be mistaken for the one from Meteos. | Confirmed that the X Bomb from the Kid Icarus: Uprising will be a new item. However, while Sakurai explicitly states it's not the X Bomb from Meteos, its explosion seems to match the X Bomb from Meteos. | |
| August 19, 2013 |  |
Pic of the day. Right back atcha! (everyone can do this) | — | |
| August 20, 2013 |  |

| August 21, 2013 |  |
Pic of the day. I guess we haven't shown the Villager or the Wii Fit Trainer on the 3DS until now. By the way, their outlines can be made thinner or made to disappear completely. | This was the first time the Villager and Wii Fit Trainer were seen on the 3DS version. | |
| August 22, 2013 |  |

| August 30, 2013 |  |
Pic of the day. The same name, yet a completely different move. Mega Man's Charge Shot is a chargable[sic] side smash attack. | — | |

Pic of the day. Mario Bros., your days are numbered! Donkey Kong in the current build is super strong…but we'll be looking at the battle records when balancing out the characters, so nobody knows how he will turn out in the end. | Sakurai remarked Donkey Kong being an especially powerful character during the current stage of development, and explicitly acknowledged the balancing process characters go through during development. | |
| September 3, 2013 |  |
Pic of the day. The Villager has two balloons. They can be popped one at a time. | Sakurai remarks how Villager's recovery works similar to the Balloon Fighter mechanics. Sakurai also stated they can be "popped one at a time". | |

| September 6, 2013 |  |

| September 9, 2013 |  |
Pic of the day. Nothing to see here--just another airplane passing right above town with people fighting on it. | — | |
| September 10, 2013 |  |
Pic of the day. Isn't Kirby drawn with a familiar artsy style? | First screenshot of the Mario Galaxy stage, which wouldn't be seen in full and named until November. | |
| September 11, 2013 |  |
Pic of the day. The Pyrosphere viewed from above. The Morph Ball design is also based on the one from Metroid: Other M. | — | |
| September 12, 2013 |  |
Pic of the day. Peach joins the battle! We've added 10 pictures of her on the website, but keep in mind that the game is still in development. Her moves may be refreshed by the time the games are released. | Sakurai explicitly remarked that while Peach currently has her old moves, they could be changed into new moves by the final version. This is the case in regards to her up aerial. | |
| September 13, 2013 |  |
Pic of the day. Here comes my Mario…NOT! | — | |
| September 16, 2013 |  |

| September 18, 2013 |  |
Pic of the day. Inside the corridor along one of the walls in Pyrosphere, a view that's really not visible in-game. You can't tell from the picture, but it's actually a gigantic open space. | Sakurai showed off stage details that can only be seen with the game's pause camera. | |
| September 19, 2013 |  |
Pic of the day. By any chance, are you hiding something from me? | — | |
| September 20, 2013 |  |
Pic of the day. Pardon us for a sec! Hop! | Confirmed the return of the Footstool Jump. | |
| September 23, 2013 |  |
Pic of the day. The speed and power of Samus' Charge Shot has been drastically improved. However, that could potentially put her in danger on occasion. | Sakurai confirmed Samus' Charge Shot will be getting a significant buff, in contrast to the significant nerf it received in Brawl. | |
| September 24, 2013 |  |
Pic of the day. The ring is for whom? | Sakurai acknowledged a strange ring Peach has been depicted with in each of her Smash appearances, that she has never been depicted with in the Mario games. | |
| September 25, 2013 |  |
Pic of the day. Luigi's jump now has him paddling his legs. His vertical leap is undoubtedly high! | Sakurai showed off Luigi's altered jumping animation, taken from his jumps in the recent Mario games. | |
| September 26, 2013 |  |
Pic of the day. Toon Link joins the battle!! Just look at those innocent cat-eyes! The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD is out in Japan today. | This reveal was surprising to some, as some thought Toon Link's return as a playable character was disconfirmed due to Toon Link being shown in a photo on Link's character page as a background character conducting the Spirit Train. This was the first instance of a character being shown pre-release in a non-playable form prior to their reveal. | |
| September 27, 2013 |  |
