No jokes here!



There was a Nintendo Direct earlier today, and it wasn't an april fool's prank! Most fans watched it or are going to watch it, but if you don't feel like spending 40+ minutes watching it, here's a recap:

--Mewtwo News--

Mewtwo available for download on April 28th, $3.99 for one version, or $4.99 for both the 3DS and Wii U versions. However if you have registered both Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and for Wii U on club Nintendo you will receive a Mewtwo code for both versions on April 15th for free.

--Lucas DLC for Super Smash Bros--

Lucas has been confirmed for Super Smash Bros. DLC coming sometime in June. Lucas seems to have an almost identical move set to the one in Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii) so Lucas veterans won't have to adapt.

--Nintendo asks, "Who do YOU want for Super Smash Bros?--

This title is essentially what Nintendo has done; Nintendo will be taking suggestions through an online form that you can find here whether your personal suggestion is going to be accepted by Nintendo is unlikely, but it's a nice gesture for Nintendo to hear their fans' voice on the Super Smash Bros. roster. The ballot will close on 10/3/2015

--Two main modes in Yoshi's Wooly World, and also Yoshi Amiibo in wool form--

Yoshi's Wooly World was talked about in today's Nintendo Direct, and Bill Trinen introduced mellow mode and classic mode. Classic mode is basically the main game; but there will be mellow mode, which gives Yoshi wings to help prevent death, making the game easier. Luckily you can switch anytime in gameplay. Also there will be a Yoshi Amiibo, but this time in a wool doll! (Wool Yoshi Amiibo has same functionality as other Yoshi Amiibo)
