Bayonetta, Corrin Heading to Super Smash Bros. on February 4

Near the end of the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Niconico Championship, representatives from Nintendo including director Masahiro Sakurai took the stage to show off the game’s next two downloadable characters. The big news, however, came near the end.

Bayonetta and Fire Emblem Fates’ Corrin will be available starting February 4. As of now, that date only pertains to Japan, but if previous releases are anything to go by this will likely be a global launch.

These characters will be individually priced at $5.99 / ¥650 for each platform, or you can drop $6.99 / ¥750 apiece to get them on both Wii U and 3DS.

Killer Instinct Teaser Hints at Halo Guest Character

While we were still reeling from our first look at Kim Wu, the Killer Instinct developers dropped yet another preview of the upcoming season’s content.

Look familiar? Smart money is on The Arbiter, a major player in the overall Halo narrative that was playable alongside franchise face Master Chief in Halo 2, joining the cast as a guest character.

He’s not the first, thanks to Rash of the Battletoads making the scene last year, but he certainly raises the game’s profile. The teaser above was first shown between matches during the Halo World Championship Tour stop at X Games Aspen, far away from the fighting game tournaments that are already familiar with Killer Instinct.

More details will likely come during tomorrow’s Killer Instinct World Cup final, so stay tuned.
