Nintendo is gearing up to reveal a new Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC fighter. The Super Smash Bros. series has been a staple of Nintendo’s systems ever since the original game released for the Nintendo 64. Since then there has been a Smash Bros. title on almost every major Nintendo system to date. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is actually the fifth game in the series so far. In September Ultimate had sold over 15 million copies, which makes it the best selling fighting game of all time.
The fighting series is well loved in the video game community and fans enjoy being able to pit their favorite Nintendo characters against each other. Ultimate in particular features 74 fighters from different franchises ranging from Donkey Kong to Castelvania. DLC fighters are of particular interest to fans, who eagerly await some of the most popular requests to be added to the game - though some, like Goku, have been adamantly shot down by series creator Masahiro Sakurai.
This morning Nintendo Versus tweeted out that the new DLC is being officially revealed on the 16th of January. The director of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Sakurai, will reveal in a 35 minute livestream who the new character is and provide an in depth look at them. The video is being streamed at 6am PT, but can also be viewed on Nintendo’s YouTube page at any time after that.
This will be the fifth DLC character to be introduced to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate so far. The first character that was introduced was Joker from Persona 5. From there they have added in Hero from Dragon Quest XI, Banjo & Kazooie from Banjo-Kazooie, and most recently Terry from Fatal Fury. Whenever Nintendo announces a new DLC players typically begin theorizing who the character will be. With this fifth DLC fans have theorized characters like Sora from Kingdom Hearts, Doomguy from Doom, and Ryu Hayabusa from Ninja Gaiden.
Super Smash Bros. is something that remains very special in the hearts of a large amount of gamers. Most fans have memories of sitting in a room full of friends trying their hardest to knock their foes off the stage. The series has done a very good job of growing with its fans, so many of them stand by it even to this day. New character DLC always seems create an uproar as players try their hardest to decipher who that character will be. Fans will know if their theorizing proves to be true on January 16th.
