Super Smash Bros. on Nintendo 3DS will feature black outlines around the game’s characters, in order to make them easier to see on the device’s smaller screen, when things get too hectic. Depending on your preference, these outlines can be left on, made thinner, or turned off completely.   Earlier today, Sakurai posted a comparison image of characters with outlines on and off on Miiverse, featuring Mario and Link. “Here’s a comparison of characters with and without their outlines on the 3DS version,” he wrote. “They also give off a different impression in 3D, so customize the look however you like.”   Super Smash Bros. is in development for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS.
