There’s plenty of speculation as to who will be joining Ultimate. While many believe that Waluigi is finally destined to receive his invite, previous Smash DLC (downloadable content) shows that just about any character could be added. Last Monday (September 20), a fan-made trailer showed Waluigi inviting himself into the Smash roster.
Past DLC additions to the fighting game have included Banjo & Kazooie, Final Fantasy villain Sephiroth, as well as Persona 5‘s Joker. The last DLC fighter to be added was Kazuya Mishima, who switched from Tekken to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate earlier in the year.
In June, director Masahiro Sakurai reiterated that the upcoming DLC fighter would be the final addition to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, saying “there won’t be any more after that”. On the long development of Smash, Sakurai added the following:
“Now that I think about it, it’s been close to 10 years since Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS systems was in development. I’ve been working on this for a long time. You could call it my life’s work.”
In other news, the 2016 version of Hitman has been review bombed on GOG for including DRM, despite joining a store platform with a strongly anti-DRM stance. A spokesperson for the storefront team has said that while “we’re looking into” the issue, “we will not tolerate review bombing”.
