Alright, I know what you’re thinking: this is obvious news. But yes, there are more unannounced characters planned for the new Super Smash Bros. games. The folks hosting the Treehouse stream mentioned this, though they obviously didn’t elaborate further. I’m still waiting for a Captain Falcon confirmation, personally!

A Bayonetta 2 fact sheet from Nintendo provides a little insight into the game’s two-player online co-op feature known as “Tag Climax”. Check it out below:

In online quick matches, you can wager halos, the in-game currency that you
earn by defeating enemies. You receive a large sum back if you can prove
you’re a better fighter than your partner. Halos can then be traded in a story
mode shop to unlock new techniques, buy accessories and pick up alternate
weapon variations.
