Luigi Joins the Battle in These New ‘Super Smash Bros.’ Screenshots!

Today’s Nintendo Direct has made it official: Luigi will be making his big return to the fighting ring in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. game for Wii U and 3DS. Joining Captain Olimar as the newest veteran to be confirmed, the green clad plumber is sure to bring his unique brand of offense with him. While I’m sure this comes as a surprise to no one, it’s worth mentioning that his move set from the screenshots so far look identical to Melee and Brawl, which is fine with me as long as his weird Final Smash is changed to something relevant like his Poltergust.

But this wasn’t all for everyone’s favorite player 2, because it was mentioned that good ol’ Weegee will also be available from the start as a default roster member. All of the previous games made him a hidden fighter, so after getting his own year, it’s clear to see that the little brother is still coming up in 2014.
