Nintendo has announced that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s next tournament will be called “A Most Regal Battle” and will have a limited character selection of only the most royal of fighters.
The event will start this Friday, Aug 21, and will run for a total of three days. Nintendo also released a gorgeous piece of artwork to celebrate the special occasion that features the princesses, queens, lords, and kings of the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate roster.
We see Bowser (King Koopa himself), King Dedede, Princess Peach (and Daisy), Princess Zelda, and a couple of other fighters. We’re not entirely sure who counts as royalty or not so it’ll be interesting to see who makes the cut.
Mario isn’t a king per se, but what about Bowser Jr.? Does he count as royalty since he’s Bowser’s… son? And what about Pikachu? That little electric mouse has to count as royalty in the Pokemon universe.
Oh well, we’ll just have to wait and see!
