Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS
Today's Super Smash Bros. image reveals the trophy form of a character that appeared in the recent Kid Icarus: Uprising.
The image you see above is the one that appears on the Smash Bros. site and game director Masahiro Sakurai wrote, "The most powerful commander of the Forces of Nature, Lightning Flash Phosphora!!" on the Miiverse. In a comment on that Miiverse post, however, Sakurai published the full, zoomed-out image you see below and wrote, "…is a Trophy. The detail in her scarf is amazing."
Phosphora is a boss character in Kid Icarus: Uprising. She is the lightning force of nature serving as one of Viridi's commanders.
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS are on track for a 2014 release. For more, check out the reveals of the Super Mario 3D Land side-scrolling stage, a new Animal Crossing stage, a new Pokémon Lumiose City stage, a stage based on the Japan-only Tomodachi Collection, Diddy Kong, the Mother Brain assist trophy, the Waluigi assist trophy, Lucario, Zelda, the Skull Kid, Marth, Sonic, a redesigned Ray Gun, the 3DS Mii Plaza, and a male Wii Fit trainer.
