Shulk Confirmed for Super Smash Bros

During the Japanese Nintendo Direct this morning, we saw that Xenoblade Chronicles was hitting the New Nintendo 3DS. That wasn’t all the Xenoblade news today, because Xenoblade hero Shulk was announced for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS.

Shulk looks like he is using moves that can be learned in Xenoblade, and he calls them out like he does in it too. One of his costumes has him in his underwear, something that you can do in game to all party members if you unequip all armor.

His Final Smash seems to bring in Dunban and Riki for a team attack, a device that can also be done in Xenoblade (if they’re in your party).

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS launches on the 3rd of October and the Wii U one is still undated. Today, preorders for the amiibo figures for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U have begun at many major gaming retailers. Both versions have been rated E10+, a first for the series.
