Super Smash Bros 4 Characters: Princess Peach and Princess Rosalina Compete for a Confused Mario's Attention (PICTURE)
Super Smash Bros 4's newest character, Princess Rosalina with her pal Luma, is causing quite a stir in the "Mushroom Kingdom" as Nintendo's hero Super Mario has to choose between two princesses now.
In today's SSB4 posting, the picture shows Princess Peach standing with Princess Rosalina who is in the forefront. The confused Mario has his hands on his head as he seems to accept his fate of having two princesses competing for his attention. See the picture here.
This weekend Rosalina's attack with Luma was also revealed as she is seen attacking Mario here.
"Pic of the day. Rosalina and Luma can be right by each other or set farther apart. They're both controlled by the player, so a smash attack can be done from far off. Remote control all the way!" the posting said.
Rosalina with Luma was announced at Wednesday's Nintendo Direct conference.
Nintendo President Satoru Iwata played a little trick with the trailer as it shows the racers of Mario Kart 8, which then turns into a SSB4 trailer. Kirby and the other racers stop dead in their tracks as Rosalina with her star side-kick Luma, appear in the middle of the track.
Princess Rosalina is from Super Mario Galaxy for the Wii, and she will also be in Mario Kart 8 if this dual trailer is indeed a revealing.
Watch the trailer below:
The last character announced by Nintendo was Fire Emblem's Marth, back in early November.
Marth made his first SSB first appearance in Melee for the Gamecube, and returned for Brawl on the Wii. He was the 18th confirmed character for the game.
"Pic of the day. Marth joins the battle!! Once again, everyone will be overwhelmed by his magnificent sword skills!!" Sakurai said in his announcement in Nintendo's Miiverse. See the post and picture here.
Unfortunately, Iwata did not disclose a release date for the upcoming game but it is still rumored to be sometime in April 2014.
A German Nintendo executive hinted at the release date, but the main company quickly issued a statement that said, "We would like to clarify that the speculation about a Spring 2014 launch date for Super Smash Bros. on Wii U was the result of a misquotation in an interview."
The characters confirmed for the game so far are: Mario, Luigi, Link, Samus, Kirby, Fox, Pikachu, Bowser, Donkey Kong, Pit, Olimar, Toon Link, Princess Peach, Sonic the Hedgehog, MegaMan, Wii Fit Trainer, and the Villager. Queen Rosalina becomes the 19th character.
