Super Smash Bros. Nintendo Direct Coming Tuesday, April 8
Nintendo has announced a Nintendo Direct focused exclusively on Super Smash Bros. Despite the regular flow of information, there’s still a lot we don’t know about the title.
The most important detail we’re waiting for is the release date. Director Masahiro Sakurai previously expressed frustration about Super Smash Bros. Brawl single player cutscenes appearing online. We’ve been left to wonder what that means for single player content in the new entries.
You can tune in at 3 p.m. Pacific/6 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday April 8.
For more, check out the reveals of Luigi's new, improved final smash, a Lumiose City stage, a new Animal Crossing stage, Diddy Kong, the Mother Brain assist trophy, the Waluigi assist trophy,Lucario, Zelda, the Skull Kid, Marth, Sonic, a redesigned Ray Gun, the 3DS Mii Plaza, and a male Wii Fit trainer.
Our Take
Nintendo would be foolish to miss this opportunity to announce a release date. We know the game won’t be coming this Spring (and certainly not before Mario Kart 8’s May 30 release). I suspect a late summer outing to kick off the fall gaming rush.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
