Nintendo unveiled a cool battle scene between two characters in their upcoming Super Smash Bros 4.

A new screen shot features Legend of Zelda characters, Link and Toon Link going at it with a double spin attack.

"The two heroes swing it out with a double Spin Attack! Wounldn't wanna be to the one to get hit," said game director Masahiro Sakurai with the image.

The spin attack is Link's signature move in the series. With the attack, he jumps in the air and does a 360 while horizontally swinging his sword. The move can also be an extension of his jump.

Toon Link is from The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker for the Gamecube. The game is getting a Wii U remake in HD. Link is from the regular arc of the series.

Toon Link joined the Smash Bros family in the last installment, Brawl, for the Wii. Link has been a mainstay since the first game.
In Super Smash Bros Melee, Young Link made his first and only appearance.

Nintendo announced this week that Sega's beloved mascot, Sonic the Hedgehog, will be joining the fracas of Super Smash Bros 4.

During the Nintendo Direct broadcast, President Satoru Iwata made the confirmation after months of speculation.

This will be Sonic's second time in the Smash Bros series after first appearing in Super Smash Brawl for the Wii.

Both Sonic and MegaMan are in the game as the only third party non-Nintendo characters. In the last installment of the game, Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid was with Sonic as the other non-Nintendo representative. There has been no word as to whether Snake will be coming back to the series.

Some consider Mario, Sonic, and MegaMan to be the "trinity" of gaming as these three have been waging their own wars on different consoles and in sales for over 20 years. Now for the first time, gamers can actually have them duke it out.

This will be the first installment of the game that will also be available for handheld as well as the main console.

The release date is unknown, but the game is expected to be ready for the Wii U and 3DS in early 2014.
