The presentation will be akin to those we’ve seen recently for the likes ofMin-Min fromArmsandSteve fromMinecraft. The showcases don’t usually take themselves to seriously and are fronted by Sakurai himself, showing off the character’s moves and abilities while cracking jokes in front of his adoring audience.

During these presentations, Sakurai has also taken the opportunity to show off upcoming waves of Amiibo. Within Steve’s reveal,we were treated to a look at Banjo, Byleth and Terry, who we now know are releasingearly next year. It’s unlikely that we’ll be treated to any new reveals during this event, however, as the last three Amiibo revealed rounded outFighter Pass Volume 1Âand therefore, the characters fromFighter Pass Volume 2will likely need a little longer.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimateis available now on theNintendo SwitchalongsideFighter Pass 1 and 2. You can watch tonight’s presentation live onNintendo’s official YouTube Channel.
