Super Smash Bros. Ultimate adds Ridley from Metroid

Nintendo today revealed that Ridley from Metroid is coming to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for Switch during its Electronic Entertainment Expo event in Los Angeles. It comes out on December 7.

Fans (including me) have wanted him in the series for a long time, but he’s only appeared in cinematics and as stage hazards before. Ridley is the most famous reoccurring boss from the Metroid series. He joins other famous baddies like Bowser and Ganondorf on the roster.
