PK THUNDER! Starting at 8 a.m. PT on June 14, Lucas is available to purchase as a downloadable character in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS
An update released at the same time will also add Splatoon Mii Fighter costumes and a new Wii U Miiverse stage.
Very cool news. I'm surprised they didn't wait till the show... interesting move.
Lucas will be $3.99 for either the 3DS or Wii U versions, or $4.99 as a bundle for both versions.
Smash already has so many characters, and I haven't really used Mewtwo much since I bought him, but I'm still looking forward to it for sure.
I hope we get lots more Smash news at E3. We still haven't heard anything about the Miiverse Stage or Tourneys/Tournaments since that Smash Wii U Direct back in October or whenever. EDIT: Oh, the OP mentions the Miiverse stage being included in the Lucas update. Awesome!!!
I'm eager to play as Lucas once again. He's my favorite character in Brawl right after Toon Link, so he'll likely take some screen time away from my favorite characters in this game like Shulk and Wii Fit Trainer. I'm also looking forward to the day when the Lucas amiibo goes on sale!
Very excited for both the stage and the char. Smash 4 is absolutely already one of my fave games of all time, I can't get enough of it. I still feel the need to play 1v1 daily.
Smash is utterly amazing but it's funny how much of a "regular game" it feels like after Splatoon. Splatoon feels incredibly immersive and advanced control wise and going back to more traditional simple input feels funny.
Sorry to be off topic but Splatoon has really captured my heart. I'd love an Inkling for Smash now. I don't even think it's too soon for it anymore.
So if they're getting Lucas out of the way now I hope to get a big reveal during E3 like the Ryu rumor we've heard so much of. That'd be a great get for Nintendo and the series.
I can't say I care for this character and didn't really like his moves in Brawl, so I won't be buying. $4.99 is too much, maybe at 99 cents I would have. The only way I would is if they release a discount bundle for characters.
