Also, it is "the Year of Luigi" after all. Just in case you haven't been keeping track, you may want to check out the full roster so far.

Look, more proof that he's in the new Smash!

In other Smash-related news, the Wii U version of the game will also be getting a new stage based on Pilotwings:

At least Pilotwings hasn't been forgotten...

  Hah, how about some unexpected awesomeness in addition to Luigi? We got lucky with Mega Man. How about one of the Robot Masters/Mavericks? Air Man or Pharaoh Man? C'mon, Mega Man anniversary!!!

    This led to me thinking Daft Punk would be cool in Smash Bros. Then I typed it out just now and realized that's not true at all.

    I was hoping for X, but the classic Mega Man is better than none at all. Zero would be really cool too, as would Sigma.

      Maybe we'll get an X alternate costume scheme or costume altogether? A nice big FU from Capcom.

  Now they need to confirm characters from the original Pilotwings are playable- I'll finally be able to punch Lance in the face, that smug bastard.
