It has been a little while since we had a brand new item revealed for the upcoming Super Smash Bros. on Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, but Masahiro Sakurai decided to go ahead and introduce a new one tonight that is taken directly from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.
In what was actually one of the first pieces of gameplay footage we ever saw of Skyward Sword, Link was shown using a Beetle weapon that you could control as it moved across the sky. Now, that item is being brought into the Super Smash Bros. universe.
Pic of the day. The Beetle item from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is a comical item that grabs characters and carries them into the air.
This item seems to have a lot of potential, especially for some hilarity in team combat if it has friendly fire, which could mess up some good friendships as a result.
