New images have been published from the upcoming Super Smash Bros. 4 game.

The game is coming out on October 3 for Nintendo 3DS and sometime this winter for Wii U.

Game director Masashiro Sakurai recently shared a picture of the place where players equip powers for the Smash Run.

“Pack a good mix of them like a lunch box, and off you go! You can change how your powers are set up by touching their icons and dragging them,” he said.

“If you hit the X Button, it will randomly fill up the remaining weight allowance with powers. You can keep changing the line-up as many times as you please. The level of a power is proportional to its strength, number of uses, and weight. Organizing them might be easier if you label your favorite powers with a star.”

Sakurai also shared a screenshot of the Nightmare Wizard Assist Trophy.

“He will engulf the stage in darkness, and fighters will need to brawl blindly for a while,” he said. “Look out for the effect before it goes dark, and play it to your advantage. Blinding and reversal effects even make the computer players mess up.”

Sakurai also recently confirmed that Meta Knight will be one of the playable characters in the upcoming game.
