While this month's Nintendo Direct turned out to be Pokemon-focused, that won't be the end of Nintendo related news for January. A Super Smash Bros. Ultimate livestream presentation will take place soon, giving us 35-minutes of pure Smash Bros. goodness. Most importantly, a new DLC fighter will be revealed at the end of the stream, so fans will certainly want to catch the big announcement! You can tune in on January 16th, at 15:00 CET/14:00 UK time.

Guys we're getting Q*bert in smash

Haha i think I'd genuinely be excited by something like that.

 

[nWo]

Yes!!! That time again!! I just hope it's a good gaming legend. I would love to see at last some Double Dragon stickers at one point.

 

[Bladexdsl]

yay more useless DLC characters.

 

[DeoNaught]

I hope Sakurai makes his own youtube channel to play smash bros or whatever

 

[Naendow]

yay more useless DLC characters.

They're not all useless. The Piranha Plant is a really cool character.

 

[banjo2]

Well hello Dante is all I can say ... with his echo probably being Virgil.

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

Where the heck are the namco characters at? They trying to say only PAC-MAN is worthy of representing this game?

 

[Rabbid4240]

HNNNNNNGH I WANT DOOMGUYS FOR FUCKING FUUUUUUUCK SAAAAAAAAAKE HNNNNNNNNNNNNNGHH

 

[Xzi]

Just gimme Rayman, god dammit!

I'd take OG Rayman, but Plok would also be acceptable.

Can't wait to throw item containers at Mario as Sam Porter.

35-minutes is insanely long for a hero announcement, and it's not like we need another video to recap all the characters' abilities (not that we needed the first one either!); the game is already out!

Therefore, it MUST be something a bit bigger. I'm curious what they have in store. Honestly, the hype around SSBU wore off quickly for me, but I think it is already a very complete game. I'm surprised there is something they deemed worth continuing development on, considering multiplayer is the main appeal for SSB. Unless it's a major overhaul of the crappy online service, in which case this is long overdue!

It may be a Goomba

Or it may be Sakurai himself.......

 

[osaka35]

[Anxiety_timmy]

Vince young from Madden 08!

[AlphaClover]

It was so weird watching the Pokemon direct and then afterwards seeing people complain about it not being a smash direct. guess we get the best of both worlds now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[DuoForce]

To everyone who insisted a character reveal had to be in a direct, to that, I say.... FUCK YOU, I was right, bitch! Knew they would reveal it this way
