Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS is now adding the Wii Fit Trainer to the roster of fighters!
The Smash Bros. series of games from Nintendo have always been a big draw for their consoles. It started as one of the reasons to own a Nintendo 64, and ended up being one of the most popular fighting games available for gamers who didn’t care about Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat . It gave us the chance to see who would really win in a fight between Kirby, Mario, Link from The Legend of Zelda , Pikachu, and a plethora of Nintendo’s characters. It even gave us bosses from the classic games to take down. The stages were multi-level environments that you could drop from or jump up to, and power-ups made things even more fun.
New characters have emerged from Nintendo’s Direct webcast for Super Smash Bros. , including Megaman and an Animal Crossing villager, and now the Wii Fit Trainer.
Megaman is no stranger to crossover games himself, as he has been in several of Capcom’s Vs fighting games. Expect the blue bomber to have no trouble holding his own against Yoshi, Solid Snake and friends.
The Animal Crossing villager is a bit of a bewildering addition, but if Kirby could make a solid addition, we’re guessing anybody can.
The Wii Fit Trainer was that character that helped you get in shape on the Wii, using the Wii Fit pad. This isn’t exactly strange either, as Xbox Live’s avatars have been known to star in some of the downloadable games such as Motocross Madness , a dirtbike racing game that rewards you for pretty much anything you do.
It is assumed that the Wii Fit Trainer will use moves from the previous game’s workout routines, such as Yoga , as fighting moves in Super Smash Bros. , though little is really known about the character as of yet.
A couple of trailers from E3 2013’s Nintendo Direct webcast are above, showing off the game.
What do you think of the new additions to Super Smash Bros. ? Is the Wii Fit Trainer a good fit to the roster?
