For several weeks there have been rumors more and more intensely of the arrival of a new character within the roster of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the last chapter of the famous fighting game series Nintendo released exclusively on Nintendo Switch almost two years ago. For this reason, after the countless rumors, the decision made yesterday from the big N to communicate that today would be the day in which the new fighter would be announced and, fortunately, the Kyoto company did not betray the expectations. At 16:00 Spanish, as promised, it was revealed that Steve, the iconic character and base skin of Minecraft, will be the new fighter who will join the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate fighter park.
The announcement was made by Nintendo itself, through a short video posted on their Youtube channel that you can see at the opening of the article. Besides Steve will also be present Alex, the second default skin of the sandbox game. In addition, as an alternative version will also be present Enderman it's a Creeper. During the short presentation, the creator and director of the game, Masahiro Sakurai. Sakurai said that inserting these characters and the Minecraft scenarios into Super Smash Bros. was difficult, as it was necessary to work again on all the existing stages to be able to insert the characteristic blocks that distinguish the title of Mojang.
Belonging to Fighter Pass Volume 2 (which will include four other fighters), the two new characters will have peculiar abilities that they can exploit in battle, including the construction of walls and objects and the summoning of explosive TNT blocks. Nintendo also disclosed that more information on the contents and abilities of the DLC that contains Steve and Alex will be provided during a stream that will take place next 3 October, starting from 16 hours: 30 Spanish.
