Gameplay and new stages are shown in new screenshots from Super Smash Bros 4, which will be released later this year for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS.

Game director Masahiro Sakurai shared the screenshots. One shows Reshiram on one of the 3DS stages.

“Zekrom and Milotic will appear, too. It’s close enough to the launch date, so I don’t have to describe this stage to you, right? The design of this stage is based off of the surroundings of someone’s castle,” he said.

Another picture shows a tractor beam.

“If you get caught in the Boss Galaga item’s tractor beam, it will carry you away to the top of the screen,” Sakurai said.

“You can shoot it down, but it won’t join you in battle for double the firepower.”

Another recent photo showed a Paper Mario stage, a first for the Super Smash Bros. series.

“It’s made of paper, so strong winds will blow it away,” Sakurai said.

He later added another photo. “Since the stage is paper, it transforms when it folds over and opens up again. This ship is the S.S. Flavion from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.”
