It’s been 84 years since the last we’ve seen of a full Nintendo Direct….well okay it’s only been over a year, but it feels like it’s been much longer. The last full-length Nintendo Direct we’ve seen was on September 4, 2019 which makes a total of over 500 days since we’ve last seen a full-length Nintendo Direct detailing news about upcoming Nintendo Games like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Legend of Zelda, and Mario. In those 500+ days, we’ve had a lot of time to speculate when the next Nintendo Direct might come and what it might include. Nintendo fans have waited long enough for the announcement that Dante will be joining the team of fighters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but did it actually happen? Let’s find out!
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Well, the new Smash fighter isn’t Dante, unfortunately. However, it looks like we’re getting 2 new fighters from Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Pyra and Mythra. While they are listed as 2 individual fighters, my guess is that Mythra will be a variation of Pyra and not a separate fighter.
