Super Smash Bros. Ultimate adds Minecraft characters

Nintendo today revealed Minecraft characters Steve, Alex, Zombie, and Enderman as the newest fighters for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the hit fighting game on Switch. Nintendo has not given a release date yet.

This is the second batch of characters that’s part of the game’s second Fighters Pass, following Min Min from Arms. Buying the pass grants access to six characters released throughout this year and 2021. It gives Nintendo a way to monetize the popular Switch fighting game after its 2018 release. Ultimate has sold over 19.99 million copies. That’s a lot of potential Fighters Pass buyers.
