Nintendo announced a short while ago that it will host a new live stream on Wednesday where it will debut a video with director Masahiro Sakurai. The 45-minute broadcast will be covering DLC character Terry Bogard, but don’t expect any massive reveals. There will not be any announcements regarding any unrevealed fighters, Nintendo says.

Since Terry Bogard’s presentation will be held on Wednesday, that’s also probably when the character itself will be launching. Version 6.0 will debut at the same time.

Hello, my Fatal Cuties! This week on NEP, we got hit with some Pokemon leaks while recording, but we keep our reactions spoiler-free. We chat some great games we’ve been playing with Atelier Ryza, Luigi’s Mansion and more, then we muse on 3DS games we’d like to see make the jump to Switch. Somehow, we end up arguing with each other over Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask. How. How even did that happen. Come have a chill game time with us.
