As Big N’s latest flagship title Super Smash Bros. Ultimate saw its release this past December, it’s currently up in the air what might be debuting for the event. Could we expect confirmation of that rumored console redesign or maybe even Persona 5 R on Switch? Perhaps Nintendo may take this opportunity to address the series of reported leaks that have happened over the last few days, detailing the arrival of several surprise fighters to the Smash Bros. proceedings. Only time will tell.
