New Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Trailer Highlights Bowser Jr. and the Koopa Kids

'The future of evil.'

Posted By | On 25th, Oct. 2014

Yesterday, Nintendo gave us an information blowout on the upcoming, highly anticipated Wii U exclusive game, Super Smash Bros. Among the many things they talked about, somewhat hilariously and bafflingly, was quite a bit of time that they spent on Bowser Jr., and the Koopalings, all of whom are featured in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U (the latter as the former’s alt costumes). What made it baffling was that they are already in the 3DS version of the game, and thus known about, so Nintendo spending any time on them was a bit confusing.

But that confusion aside, let’s actually talk about the trailer itself, which is hilariously chaotic, and which lovingly renders each of the Koopalings as they face off against the heroes of the Nintendo world. Especially given their appearance and prominence in Mario Kart 8 in addition to Smash Bros., this year seems to truly be the year of the Koopalings.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U launches November 21 in the US.
