E3 2018: Ridley is Smash Bros. Ultimate’s New Character

June 12, 2018

Despite there already being 64 characters in the Switch release of Smash Bros. Ultimate, there is room for one more, one long-rumored to show up in Smash at some point. Samus Aran’s longtime nemesis, Ridley, is finally a Smash playable character.

As revealed during the closing moments of the Nintendo Direct E3 2018 conference, Ridley turned up and, uhh, killed Mario and Mega Man in a pre-rendered cutscene. So, that’s that. We were then given a look at how Ridley, scaled down somewhat, plays in Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Looking forward to getting to grips with Ridley? Let us know in the comments!

For my sins, I’m a Crystal Palace and Colts fan which means I’m down in the dumps most weekends – so feel free to mock me over on Twitter.
