One of the new things Nintendo announced during their Nintendo Direct a few hours ago was that Lucas - from Earthbound - will join the Super Smash Bros for Wii U (and 3DS) roster this June as DLC. Take a look in the trailer to see what tricks he has up his sleeve.

No prices was announced, but Nintendo also said they have opened a homepage where you can vote on the characters you would like to see in the game.
