One of the major additions we saw to the Super Smash Bros. series during Brawl was the Assist Trophy, which was the equivalent of a Poke Ball for random game characters. Just like Poke Balls, Assist Trophies were mysteries until opened and it appears that will be the case once again in the upcoming game for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS.
Pic of the day. This is the capsule for the Assist Trophies. It may emit rainbow-colored lights, or even blink. Even if there’s something like a Color TV-Game 15 inside….
This post by Masahiro Sakurai is a little confusing as it says the ATs will do something different, but will that actually vary on the type of Assist Trophy or just be completely random in the way it lights up? We’ll just have to wait and see when the game releases on the 3DS sometime this summer.
