On their official Twitter account, Nintendo tweeted out that on November 1st at 10AM ET, they’ll be broadcasting a 40 minute episode of Nintendo Direct revealing the last few secrets they’re willing to share about Smash Bros. Ultimate

As noted in the tweet, the show will be hosted by director Masahiro Sakurai and there will be a post-show Nintendo Treehouse: Live presentation that will contain more information regarding some of Switch’s newest titles. According to IGN
In the previous Nintendo Direct episode which aired in mid-September, the only Smash-related news we got was that Isabelle from Animal Crossing would be joining the roster of fighters. If you missed that clip, you can check it out below.

At this point, it feels like we know a lot about the new Smash, but given how many secrets existed in previous incarnations of the game, there’s bound to be a lot of stuff that Nintendo might leave for us to discover ourselves. Considering this, it’ll be interesting to see what kind of content will be showcased in this final Smash-centered episode. Hopefully it’s a combination of new characters and a reveal of a new game mode.
Once the episode airs, we’ll be sure to provide you with a rundown of the video. Until then, stay tuned!
