Dress your Mii as Nintendo characters in Super Smash Bros.

Nintendo's Masahiro Sakurai revealed that players will be able to dress their Mii characters up in Nintendo-themed costumes in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U.

The screenshot above shows off custom outfits inspired by Metroid's Samus and Meta Knight from the Kirby series. Nintendo announced at this year's E3 that Mii characters will join the melee with three selectable classes: gunner, brawler, and sword-fighter. The publisher has issued no word as to whether specific costumes will be tied to Mii character classes.

Super Smash Bros. will launch first for the Nintendo 3DS in October, and a Wii U release will follow in the winter.
