Smash Direct Coming Later This Week

After last weeks Pokemon Direct, Nintendo fans were expecting a general Nintendo Direct this week, though Nintendo has thrown yet another curve ball at us, announcing a special Smash Direct will end the week out, which will reveal the last character in the Season 1 Fighter Pass.

Not much information was given other than a cryptic tweet. It will be a 35 minute long presentation that will reveal the new fighter, and go over them in detail. If it's anything like the previous presentations Sakurai has done, we're in for a treat!

On 16/01 at 14:00 (UK time), join #SmashBrosUltimate director Masahiro Sakurai for a roughly 35 minute-long livestream featuring an in-depth look at an upcoming DLC fighter! The fighter will be unveiled in the video.
