A Special Nintendo Direct Super Smash Bros edition coming on April 8

On April 8th, Nintendo will present an online broadcast dedicated to news about the upcoming game Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U and the 3DS.

This title is one of the most anticipated games of the year, and could really help the Wii U in terms of console sales. As seen in the previous generation, Super Smash Bros. Brawl became one of the most popular games for the Wii, perhaps the favorite one for lots of players.

What characters and features could we expect?

There are still things that remain unknown, such as the entire cast of fighters, the release date, and features that will be unique to the Wii U and the 3DS versions.

Realistically, we may only see one or two new characters appearing for the first time in the series, though what comes to gamers’ minds is if their favorite non-Nintendo hero will make the cut. Also, will Solid Snake be back into fighting arena with Mario and friends?

Mark your calendar for April 8th at 6PM Eastern / 3PM Pacific for Nintendo Direct.
