Nintendo Direct Today

Today starting at 6 PM EST Nintendo streamed a direct on twitch that revealed a lot of news on upcoming Nintendo releases and other news. The first and probably most exciting news is that Lucas was announced as a DLC character in Super Smash Brothers for 3DS and Wii U. In the fourth installment, Lucas was cut from the roster which disappointed many fans. So as you can imagine, fans were very pleased by this news. Along with Lucas, who is planned to be released this June, an already announced DLC character Mewtwo will be available to download on April 28th. That's not all though, there will be an online fighter ballot held for fans to request even more DLC characters into a game that already has a gigantic roster of 53 fighters. I don't think my inner geek can survive any more of this excitement.

More information the direct covered was in regards to different upcoming Nintendo games such as Yoshi's Woolly World, Splatoon, a new Fire Emblem game and a lot of other things that I don't remember too well. The most important part of the direct for me was at the very beginning, so the rest I wasn't paying as much attention to. It was a great direct overall.
