A new screenshot for Nintendo's upcoming entry in the Smash Bros series has been released, showing one of the stages players will get to trade blows in.
The image of a Kid Icarus themed stage was posted on the game's Miiverse by series creator and director Masahiro Sakurai along with a message: "You can find this statue of the Goddess of Light in one of the stages. She's watching over the arena."
