The April Nintendo Direct kicked off with a reminder that yes, Mewtwo is on his way to Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS.
The presentation opened with a trailer for the genetically enhanced Pokemon, revealing many of his classic moves from Super Smash Bros. Melee, along with some new tricks. But he’s not the only one joining the battle.

Satoru Iwata noted that the character took some time to design, but added that he’s ready to go and he will be ready on April 28 for $3.99. Mewtwo will arrive alongside version 1.6.0, which will add new trinkets like new costumes, as well as character balances. Costume DLC that includes homages to series like The Legend of Zelda and Mega Man will be available on April 15.
