UPDATE:It appears as though Chrom is not a playable character, but will likely be a Final Smash addition for Robin inSuper Smash Broson the 3DS and Wii U.
ORIGINAL:What an amazing reveal! During a Nintendo livestream event earlier today, the Japanese gaming company revealed 3 all-newSuper Smash Broscharacters, including the return of an old favorite. From theFire Emblemseries, Lucina and Robin (both genders) are now playable Smashers, while Captain Falcon drives his way into the fray once again. Chrom looks to be involved in Robin’s final smash, but that is unconfirmed.

Fire Emblemhas certainly had a strong appeal when it comes toSuper Smash Brosand game director Masahiro Sakurai, as the likes of Marth, Roy, Ike, Lucina, and Robin have all been playable characters at one point or another. Even Lyn has made it in as an assist trophy, and Chrom seems to be included in some way in the currentSmashtitle, solidifying Nintendo’s strong reliance with developers Intelligent Systems.
Meanwhile, Captain Falcon has made yet another appearance, albeit in a reveal so close to theSuper Smash Brosrelease date on the Nintendo 3DS. Perhaps it has to do with Nintendo’s insistence to not create any more games involving one of their biggest high-speed arcade racers, but I’m glad to see such a renown staple of the fighting series making it in the brawl once again.
Super Smash Broswill be released on the Nintendo 3DS on October 3rd, while the Wii U version is slated for this holiday season.
