Super Smash Bros 4 Characters Pikmin and Boxer Face-off in New 'Pic of the Day'
A boxer that resembles Mike Tyson's Punch Out's Piston Honda faces off against a Pikmin character in today's Super Smash Bros 4 "pic of the day."
Game director Masahiro Sakurai posted it up on the MiiVerse earlier today with a short message. See it here.
"Under certain circumstances, the creatures on this planet appear to grow larger and go beserk," he said. "The Pikmin and I must be cautious lest we lose our heads to these beasts."

This picture is for the Wii U version of the game which also features Mick from the original Mike Tyson's Punch Out from the NES console. It would be interesting to see Mike Tyson's character from the game make an appearance in a Smash Bros. title. Unfortunately it would be tough to make that happen since Nintendo lost the rights to use his likeness in a game some time ago.
Nintendo confirmed to IGN last month that the 3DS version of Super Smash Bros will launch sometime in the summer this year. Wii U fans will have to wait until the winter to get their hands on this epic fighting title.
Sakurai discussed how multiplayer will work in the game with IGN. He stated that players can play online with friends and can also engage in a handful of different multiplayer modes. There will be two distinct forms for multiplayer including "For Fun" and "For Glory."
For Fun only records players wins, and pits opponents against each other in random stages that include all items. For Glory levels the playing field by removing items and setting every match on a Final Destination version of certain levels. Wins and Losses will be tracked in For Glory.
