Nintendo direct announces Mewtwo release date, Lucas, balance patch, fighter ballot, etc.

So today's Nintendo Direct is ongoing but they've already announced some really cool shit. Mewtwo's coming out April 28th (they showed some new gameplay) and there's going to be an update at the time to balance characters and more. Lucas is being released in June. Also there's a new fighter ballot where you can submit desired Smash Bros. characters that Nintendo will take into consideration. Also new Amiibos, including an adorable Yoshi's Wooly World amiibo that's actually made of yarn. It looks awesome.

Edit: They just announced that N64 and DS games are being added to the WiiU Virtual Console! There are a bunch of control schemes / screen layouts to choose from.

i already subbmitted my characters. lets go Shovel knight! also its really cool that they brought back lucas too, not til june anyways

Oh man, that's a great idea. I just submitted Shovel Knight as well.

I voted for Simon Belmont. Shovel Knight is a good pick too!
If you got the 3DS and Wii U versions of Smash registered, you get Mewtwo on the 15th!

Wait, on the fifteenth? I must have missed that. That's awesome because I just registered them at the last minute.

yup mewtwo as well as the new patch is coming out on the 15th i believe. does anyone have any word when they're gonna release the new online tourney mode they teased on the 50 fact video?

Nope!

ahh damn, well hopefully they release some more info on it soon, it looks really cool
