Nintendo has announced that Piranha Plant is a free character for Super Smash Bros Ultimate. His release date hasn’t been confirmed just yet as they are still working on him as you saw in the Direct he is a versatile character and is available to those who purchase the game. Nintendo also announced that he will be getting his very own amiibo. You can pre-purchase the game in the Nintendo eShop now.
Releasing post-launch, Piranha Plant takes root as a fighter in Super #SmashBros Ultimate! If you claim the #MyNintendo Gold Points for a purchase of the game by 31/01/2019, you'll receive the fighter for free as an early purchase bonus. pic.twitter.com/nvUUTwWEzm

Piranha Plant will also be available as paid DLC at a later date. It is not one of the five fighters included in the Super #SmashBros Ultimate Fighters Pass.

Well there’s our WTF character for Ultimate.
And I’ll probably main him.
???????????????????? It was hype tho lmao
I’m glad they put in Ken & Inciniroar in Smash Ultimate? But where’s Banjo-Kazooie?
I mean he’s a first party character from Microsoft so….
Banjo can still be announce next year but my hopes are down after this direct. I believe we will get Minecraft instead
WHEN I SAW HIM I SAID THERE IS STILL CHANCE FOR Bandana Dee
AND Knuckle Joe!
I’m actually impressed that Sakurai managed to pull off Pirahna Plant so well.
If this character was leaked, NO ONE would’ve believed it.
Of course Knuckle Joe would have to wait until the next game, because assist trophy.
True
so um will the amiibo unlock him? and will you be able to but him afterwords?
Buy*
You definitely can ‘but’ him afterwards and I don’t think amiibos unlock them unless they changed that for Ultimate. Their main use in Smash is to act as a “smart” A.I. mimicking a human.
i want him but i dont wanna pre purchase. they’ll probably release him anyway via dlc like they did with mewtwo who was only suppose to be available if you had both copies of smash wii u and 3ds.
That’s exactly what they’re doing. If you follow the instructions by a certain time, you get it for free. Marketing 101.
Mewtwo was only available as FREE content if you bought both Smash Wii u and 3DS, it was never supposed to be exclusive.
When they said limited time and revealed it was a fighter, I feared the worst. Then they clarified after the reveal that it would be available free for a limited time. Which means he’ll be sold as paid DLC later on. (Unless they pull a fast one and have him only unlockable by way of the amiibo which itself will be sold for a limited time. In which case, I’m gonna be pissed all over again later on if this ends up being the case.)
I AM CONFUSED I PRE ORDERED THE PHYSICAL GAME SO LONG AGO AND WILL I STILL GET HIM FOR FREE AHHHHHHHHHH SOME ONE HELP MEEEEEEE
yes
You’ll get it
why wouldnt the charecter be free WHAT ON EARTH WTF FREE OF COURSE ITS FREE we are not buying each chareter are we
It depends of the who are these dlc characters. If those characters are modern FF characters I’m not gonna buy those.
My hopes are still for:
Bandana Dee
Rayman
Banjo and Kazooie
Sakurai after Ken and Inceneroar: That’s all the characters for Smash 5. Enjoy! Me: Yeah, right.
I’m glad he’s limited till January.
This is golden
tfw a regular enemy got in before Waluigi
Dat new main character!
Guess this means everything is on the table that is not trophy-zoned then. Still a chance for Bandana Dee.
Banjo-kazooie please Microsoft, Rare and Nintendo. Can ya’ll forget about the past and do your contracts and get them in? Rare nor Microsoft isnt doing anything and Rare and Microsoft will be making revenue off a character they dont even use anymore.
I have a new main! And I thought I was going to be playing Ice Climbers again.
