Developer Masahiro Sakurai is posting screenshots of the upcoming Super Smash Bros. games once again, and his latest photo showcases the Dark Emperor in what looks like his own unique stage! Look at the Wii Fit Trainer tremble at the sight of his majesty!
Now, while this photo has confirmed the Dark Emperor’s existence in the 3DS version of the game, his actual placement remains open to interpretation. This screenshot could confirm a whole new level that’s playable in multiplayer battles, since the 3DS version was promised to have specific exclusive levels that differ from the Wii U version. In this scenerio, I imagine that the Dark Emperor is a level gimmick that attempts to mess up the player from time to time, much like Dialga’s placement in Super Smash Bros. Brawl’s Spear Pillar. However, it’s also entirely possible that the level is just a dedicated boss stage, as Brawl did have quite a few of these within its single player adventure mode. Or, maybe it’s something beyond my imagination!
What do you think the Dark Emperor will be like in the new Super Smash Bros. on 3DS? Sound off in the comments below!
