Super Smash Direct Coming April 8th
The new Super Smash Bros. games look pretty great, but we’re still very much in the teasing part of their publicity. Every day a new picture is released that shows some small part of the title, and occasionally we’ll get something a little exciting or that hints at something bigger. It can be fun, but it’s arguably gone on a little too long. Nintendo agree, and are going to have something of an info blow-out this coming Tuesday.
From the official Smash Bros. site:
Super Smash Bros. Direct is coming soon! Join us for this broadcast for new details on the Super Smash Bros. games coming to Wii U and Nintendo 3DS.
Check back here on Tuesday, April 8th at 11 p.m. (UK time) to watch the broadcast live!
If you’re a fan of the franchise, you’ll want to keep Tuesday April 8th free. At the very worst we’re going to get a few new gameplay videos and a release date, and at best we could find out about new characters, new locations, new features and more. The most important detail will be when we’ll actually be able to buy it, and this Direct wouldn’t be worth doing if a release date wasn’t announced. There’s also a good chance that it’ll be sooner rather than later, as Nintendo’s release list for the next few months is pretty thin. There are games coming, sure, but how many of them have release dates? With Smash getting its own Direct, it’s a sign that it might even be available pre-E3.
