Super Smash Bros. is almost here. The hype is real and palpable. And this time around, Nintendo has gone ahead and adopted a very different technique to hyping this game up- rather than going ahead and revealing literally everything about the game in the lead up to the release, they are opting to release some information and keeping other things secret, to be discovered when the game is released.
Or they would be doing that, if everything wasn’t leaked anyway- as it has been. Some people have procured copies of the 3DS version of the game in Japan some days ahead of its release (it launches there this week), and they have managed to gain access to the full roster available in game. And since the roster is common across both, the 3DS and Wii U games, we now know what characters will be starring in the fourth installment of Smash Bros.
