Nintendo customer support site mentions Mii Fighter costume as Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC

Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

Throughout the life cycle of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U / 3DS, Nintendo prepared extra Mii Fighter costumes. We haven’t really seen this yet for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but that could be changing in the future.

Over on Nintendo’s customer support website, there’s a page for available Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC. It specifically mentions “Mii Fighter Costume” as part of that downloadable content. It states that one costume is included for $0.75, with a release planned for 2019.

We do have a small bit of doubt that Nintendo will be going all out with Mii Fighter costume DLC for Smash Bros. Ultimate. Though it could very well happen, we can’t help but wonder if the customer support site is referring to Rex. That Xenoblade Chronicles 2 outfit can only be obtained by purchasing the Fighters Pass currently. The fact that the page lists just a single costume may point to a wide release of the Rex costume. Either way, we should know come next year.
