Nintendo used a Japan focused Nintendo Direct overnight to officially announce that Shulk is joining the roster of fighters in the upcoming Super Smash Bros for Wii U and 3DS.



Players will know Shulk from the Wii title, Xenoblade Chronicles in which Shulk wields the Monado blade, which allows the user to have glimpses into the future. Super Smash Bros for 3DS will be released here on October 3rd with the Wii U version coming later this year.
