The new Super Smash Bros. Ultimate fighter has been revealed today, and it is Min Min from ARMS. She will be available in the second DLC pack for Smash, or for $5.99 for those who chose to purchase the challenger pack separately. The Fighters Pass Vol. 2 retails for $29.99. From the Nintendo press release:
“Min Min is the 81st video game character included as a playable fighter in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, with a roster representing one of the largest crossovers of video game characters in history. From her humble beginnings as a ramen-loving employee at the Mintendo Noodle House, to her knockout performance as a champion contender in the ARMS Grand Prix, it’s no stretch to say Min Min has made a huge name for herself. As a one-of-a-kind fighter, it’s only natural for Min Min’s fighting style in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate to be equally unique. Each of her extendable ARMS – the Ramram, the Megawatt and her laser-firing Dragon ARM – can be controlled individually and used to access a diverse range of tools.
Min Min’s accompanying stage, Spring Stadium, features a variety of interactive elements ARMS players will instantly recognize, including the ability to damage opponents when making contact with them after using a jumping platform. Foes will also bounce off the striking ceiling arches when they’re launched. The adorable ARMS drones will also make an appearance to deliver items that aid in battle, but make sure to approach them with caution when freeing boxes to claim their rewards!
In addition to this new fighter update, new Mii Fighter costumes, including Ninjara from ARMS, Heihachi, Callie & Marie from the Splatoon series and Vault Boy, will also be available as separate purchases on June 29.”
This is very exciting news, but the next question is, who will be next? Personally I am hoping for a Xenoblade character, given the success of the franchise and the recent release of Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition. KOS-MOS from Xenosaga would be icing on the cake!
