Nintendo made a surprise, and somewhat odd announcement about the next Smash Bros. games at the end of its E3 2013 Wii U Software Showcase. The company announced that the female Wii Fit Trainer character will be in the game, and believe it or not, playable.
This could be the surprise that Nintendo was teasing a short while ago. In other words, there may not be an additional game announcement.
“She uses moves that are really quite healthy. Her moves are very fitness-based. She is quite powerful against characters like Bowser.”

It sounds like Retro could have been in charge of the next Metroid game, had the company not decided to pursue the new Donkey Kong game for Wii U.
According to Retro’s Michael Kelbaugh, the studio had a tough time deciding whether to go with Metroid or Donkey Kong. In the end, though, Retro felt they had unfinished business with Donkey Kong.
ONM’s Chandra Nair relayed the news:
