Prepare to have your hearts stolen by the Phantom Thieves, as Nintendo has just announced one of their DLC fighters for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Joker and his Persona will be joining the fight. The announcement was made by Reggie during The Game Awards 2018. Joker will be the 76th character added to the game, and will be released sometime next year. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate launches tomorrow. December 7.

Metal gear only has the GBA games on the Nintendo. Pac-Man only has the 3D games on GC. Yes, lot of FF spin-off games are on Nintendo console, but cloud is in only two of them. For a character to be eligible in Smash, it seems that that character must be in at least one game on a Nintendo console, cameo or not.
Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes on GameCube is a thing.

I've never really played a persona game so could you explain to me what this character is like? Regardless am hyped for new characters XD
Its like asking what a JRPG char is like.
The same cliche as everyone. Silent, emo like, denying any love connections because thats “cool” etc. Of course the strongest despite his teenager-girl-body-build etc... I really didnt enjoy persona much as you can see :)

Lmao @ people saying this was the only "real" announcement. Smash sucks. One of the most over-hyped garbage games out there. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, Far Cry, Hades, and Mortal Kombat were all better announcements than a single DLC character.

While I do think think that Persona might make its way to Nintendo platforms eventually, I see Joker more as representing MegaTen as whole since P5 is its most popular entry right now. Same as Cloud being in instead of Terra or Cecil for Final Fantasy.

Haven't played Persona, but neat.
and yet not a single character from a western dev, great job sakurai, the doomslayer sends his regards.
- Diddy, K. Rool were from Rareware, Dark Samus is from Retro Studios
- we still dunno what DLC slots 2 through 5 hold
- I sincerely doubt Doomslayer is getting in, buddy

Uh.. For everyone going "Persona is not on Nintendo." No.. Persona isn't, but Shin Megami Tensei, in which Persona is a part of (Spin off of.. The whole timeline is confusing as hell) most certainly has a huge history with Nintendo.

so you need to be created by western devs on a japanese franchise to be in smash?
Yes. Smash is a Japanese game, made by a Japanese company, so there is a lot of bias.

While I do think think that Persona might make its way to Nintendo platforms eventually,
That's the only reason I don't mind him getting into Smash. I'm hoping for a P5 going to Switch announcement at E3, because of this. P4 and P3 too, would be nice also. :P
Also, he looks pretty cool, and I liked the artstyle of the announcement.

I guess it was pretty easy considering the announcer is his voice actor.

Hey throw in Arvis too! We need more mages!

And fire!

I see you have not played Persona 5, then. Or Persona 3 and 4 for that matter.

Persona series is not a part of Shin Megami Tensei series timeline.

Persona is a sub-series of Shin Megami Tensei, a sub-series of Megami Tensei.

There are many Shin Megami Tensei games which are not connected to each other and contained within their own universe.
