Today Sakurai announced 4 more characters for the highly anticipated Super Smash Brothers for 3DS and Wii U.


 

The first is good old Captain Falcon, returning once again. Two completely new characters are Robin and Lucina from Fire Emblem Awakening. Lucina seems to play like another swordsman while Robin uses both a sword and magic. The interesting dynamic of Robin goes further than that though, as the magic stems from the book used to conjure the spells (same way it happens in the F.E. Awakening). So once the number of spells is used up, the book disappears. This will be a very cool aspect in that you need to micromanage the uses and know when you will run out.



Smash Brothers is definitely gaining more and more hype as new characters announced. All of us here are excited to get our hands on the game. The first version we will review will be on the 3DS but expect a Wii U review when that releases in the winter.

So what do you guys think of the roster so far? Are there too many Fire Emblem characters (4 as of right now) that bring more swordsmen to an already crowded sword roster? Let us know below!!
