Lucas Joins Super Smash Bros. This Month

June 5, 2015

EarthBound's Ness has been quite lonely in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS, but Mother 3 protagonist Lucas joins him as a DLC character on June 14.

Nintendo of America revealed the release date in a tweet earlier today. He's the second downloadable character in the game, after Mewtwo who was released back in April. More characters will be added to the game in the future.

I'm not sure how popular Lucas is in the world of Super Smash Bros., but I still love the idea of including a character from a game that wasn't even release in the U.S. That takes guts Nintendo.

Oddly enough, this news makes me want to play through EarthBound and Mother 3 now, which I've never done before. I know, I'm a bad person.
