Zero and MegaMan.EXE (Costumes) Join Super Smash Bros.

If you’ve been… well, pretty much online at all over the past few days, then you no doubt know by now about all the fun new Super Smash Bros. content that was leaked before today’s special video announcement. Still, the devil is in the details, and that’s what we’re here to bring you right now.

In addition to new amiibo figures, Street Fighter‘s Ryu, Fire Emblem‘s Roy, and more, a variety of new costumes for custom Mii fighters have been announced. As you may recall, Proto Man and Mega Man X were featured in the first batch, and now two more from the Mega Man franchise join the fray:

From the press release:

New Mii Fighter costumes: Multiple video games and characters from the past and present are represented in a new set of Mii Fighter costumes now available through the new update. Two costumes from classic fighting game Virtua Fighter are based on the Akira and Jacky characters, with Akira even maintaining his blocky polygonal look from the original game. Tekken fighter Heihachi (and his amazing hair) serves as inspiration for one costume, with additional costumes based on Isabelle from Animal Crossing, MegaMan.EXE from Mega Man Battle Network, ZERO from Mega Man X, the Inkling Girl and Boy and the squid hat from Splatoon also available. All costumes – eight in total – can be purchased in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U for $6, or both game versions together for $9.20. Costumes can also be purchased individually for $0.75 in either Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, or both game versions together for $1.15 each.

Those interested in getting absolutely everything revealed today can also do so in a pack that is available now for $21.96 USD for one system, or both Wii U and Nintendo 3DS for $29.16.

That’s all the Mega Man news to come out of the event for now, but the other news is pretty cool, so you’ll want to check out the full video. In addition, I’ve posted a whole slew of screens and art featuring the Zero and MegaMan.EXE Mii costumes in action over on our Rock Tumblr, so be sure to give that a look as well!
