In addition to the six previous DLC characters and stage, Nintendo has also included newMii fighter costume DLC forSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. Many of these new costumes in the upcoming release are based onMinecraft, including a Creeper costume, Pig costume, and Diamond Armor costume. However, that’s not all.
Mii costumes based on various other gaming franchises will also make their way into the game. This includes Gil, the main character fromThe Tower of Druaga; Travis Touchdown, the main character from cult-classic game seriesNo More Heroes, and multiple colors of Bomberman from theBombermanseries. All of these characters will be available to play as Mii Brawlers and Swordfighters alongside the release of the next DLC pack on June 25, 2025.
For fans of video games across the board, it’s good to see that Nintendo has developed a way to include characters inSuper Smash Bros.without making them into official characters. However, there will certainly be some fans who are upset their favorite characters are relegated to Mii costumes, especially for a character likeTravis Touchdownwho many may have wanted to see as an actual playable character given the upcoming release of No More Heroes 3 on Switch.
Then again, this allows Nintendo to still feature these characters within theSmash Bros.universe. As a series,Super Smash Bros.is meant to be a celebration of video games, so to have these characters still be in the game in some capacity is a nice gesture. Given howXbox recently said it wants Master Chiefto be in the game, there’s still a chance he may get a Mii costume even if he is not the next playable character.
