‘Pokemon Omega Ruby’ and ‘Alpha Sapphire’ are your winter travel destinations

‘Super Smash Bros’: Warning! A New Challenger is Approaching!

Masahiro Sakurai, best known as the creator of Super Smash Bros, took to Miiverse today to announce the reveal of the next new fighter in the Smash Bros roster. Scheduled for Monday, July 14, at 7 AM, the unveiling will be live-streamed on the game’s official website rather than in a Nintendo Direct video or by any other means. Who could this approaching challenger be? According to Sakurai, the development team is “nearing the bottom of the stash of new challenger videos that we’ve made…” so who else do we have to look forward to? In proper fanboy fashion, here are some of my best guesses, desired improbable possibilities, and wild wishes for the next Smash challenger.

This year for my birthday, my wife got me a glass case exhibiting Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow with matching Game Boy Pockets. It perfectly represented me and my evolution (intentional word choice) as a gamer, cascading me with that sensation known as nostalgia.
