No wishing: We expect Nintendo to add these characters to Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS at E3

It’s hard to predict surprises before they happen at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, but with a new Smash Bros. coming out this year for the 3DS and Wii U, it’s safe to guess we’ll see Nintendo announce a few new brawlers for the roster.

However, we’ll take the prediction one step further; we’re listing the characters that Nintendo is most likely to reveal during the June trade show in Los Angeles. Sure, we all have fighters we’d like to see included in the games. Our own Samir Torres came up with a list of eight characters he wanted in Smash Bros. for the Wii U and 3DS However, with all due respect to Mr. Torres, it’s unlikely we’ll see Chrono or the Battletoads taking on the likes of Mario and Link.
