• Smash Bros Ultimate Gets A New Fighter, And We Find Out Who On January 16

Super Smash Bros Ultimate, the latest entry in Nintendo and Bandai Namco's hit fighting series on Nintendo Switch, gets a new fighter. Sure, there's already a lot going on to start playing (breaking?), but if you've unlocked all 74 base fighters and additional DLC characters, or just want something out of the ordinary for your next fight, then the arrival of new fighters of Smash Bros' Ultimate Drip should definitely pique your interest. Nintendo informed us that the new fighter will be revealed in a 35-minute live broadcast on January 16 this coming Thursday. The live stream will begin at 2:00 pm GMT / 3:00 pm CET (or 6:00 am PST / 9:00 am EST). Some previous announcements were included in a classified ad at the end of a larger Smash Bros Direct video, while covering other updates and additions to the base game, but it appears that this time, the video will focus heavily on "an in-depth look." to an upcoming DLC ​​hunter."

The guessing game

So who will it be? This is everyone's guess, especially since the rumor mill tends to offer several possible options at once. But we finally got the oft-quoted Banjo-Kazooie, while Dragon Quest's hero was predicted by some data-miners before the official announcement. We're not ruling out Doomguy (from the Doom series), and a DMC character could certainly find his way at some point in the seemingly very long pipeline of DLC fighters. An apparent leak last week also cited No More Heroes' Travis Touchdown, who, as a series that started on the Nintendo Wii, with a distinctive weapon and fighting style, would fit the game quite well. We are happy to overwrite.
