Super Smash Bros 4 Items: Homerun Bat Returns to New Game as Toon Link Sends Donkey Kong Flying (PICTURES)

Super Smash Bros 4's developer Masahiro Sakurai gave gamer's a two-for glimpse of the game today when he released two Pic's of the Day.

In the new screenshots, SSB4 welcomes back its signature homerun bat, and this time it is painted black.

"Pic of the day. The Home-run Bat in this game is black! And it's so powerful that your eyes might bug out!!" Sakurai wrote on the Nintendo Miiverse.

In the first picture Toon Link is seen swinging for the fences on Donkey Kong. In the second picture, an alternative view is given that sees the battered primate flying through the air and off the screen. "And here's a look at a home run exiting the arena," the caption read.

The homerun bat is the most powerful weapon in the game, and if the opponent is beaten up just enough, it almost guarantees a victory upon connection.

Super Smash Bros 4's Pic of the Day from Tuesday revealed a battle between Lucario and Marth on a large SSB stage.
"An image of Lucario and Marth on the Smash Bros. Arena stage. Lucario is seen using his Double Team move to prevent Marth from using his Shield Breaker move on him," wrote Masahiro Sakurai on the Nintendo Miiverse. See the picture here.
SSB4 is rumored to be coming out for the Wii U and 3DS sometime in March, although there has been no confirmation from Nintendo yet as the hype has been building.
