As revealed at this year's E3, The Hero from the Dragon Quest series is coming to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Tomorrow, director Masahiro Sakurai will be providing a 22-minute look at the latest DLC character, and will reveal when you can play as The Hero. During the announcement, Nintendo of Europe also mentioned that any replays you might have saved prior to version 3.1.0 will not work with the upcoming 4.0.0 patch, unless you convert them to video before updating. In addition, Nintendo accidentally let it slip when version 4.0.0 would be releasing, in a now-deleted Tweet that said the patch, and likely the Dragon Quest Hero along with it, would launch on July 31st.

Oh more characters being added to the smash bros roster.
Wonder how this will go.

Where do they get their characters from? So random. What's next, Fighter from Final Fantasy 1?

Well they needed another Square Enix character, and they were probably torn between Dragon Quest, or Kingdom Hearts we see what they picked.

I'm surprised it wasn't another Fire Emblem character

I hate to be that guy, but I'm far more interested in this DLC, and Banjo DLC, than I ever was with Joker.

They should restart the series after this title. Far too many characters.

Yawn a generic sword user appears.

Where the fuck is Banjo. Just delete this trash and bring out the real character

Would rather have Hero than Joker or Bayonetta, but that's just me.

Lmao, you think they were ? Dragon Quest was just the obvious choice

Kingdom Hearts is overrated IMO. Dragon Quest needs more representation.

I mean if you'd rather have a generic silent protagonist with absolutely no personality or character over two highly designed and unique characters, I think that says more about you than anything.

*shrug* It's my opinion and I stick to it. It's least it's not another lame-ass Fire Emblem waifu character.

Eyyyyy my birthday's tomorrow so close enough XD

Did you see the same character trailer we all did? Hero looks insanely unique moveset wise, and you can't expect to get every character you want. This series is too popular in Japan to not deserve being on the roster.
