Today’s Miiverse pic of the day from Masahiro Sakurai shows the bottom screen of the 3DS during All-Star Mode, showing the fighters to be beaten and describing how the battle mode works. Sakurai follows the post with another image and comment, where he explains that characters are ordered chronologically by the date of their first appearance – time for a history lesson!

Check out the post and comments below and let us know if you’re ready to take on the survival battle on your 3DS next month!



In these battles, multiple opponents appear in one stage, and you clear the battle by defeating a number of them. The rest area that appears between battles displays the next opponents and the year the characters made their first appearances, and it also holds recovery items and an occasional reward. The characters you fight against appear pretty much in chronological order. Behold, the history of Nintendo games!!
