Super Smash Bros 4 Characters: Nintendo Unveils Three Roster Additions Today; Captain Falco, Lucina, and Robin (VIDEO)

Today Super Smash Bros 4 announced three new characters, Lucina, Captain Falco, and Robin.

Lucina and Robin are from Fire Emblem, and Captain Falco is from F-Zero, and has been in every Smash Bros game.

Last week, game developer Masahiro Sakurai hinted at today's characters in the Nintendo Miiverse.

"Oh, by the way! I'd like to reveal a new challenger. Instead of doing the unveiling on something like a Nintendo Direct, we're going to live-stream the reveal on the official website on Monday, July 14, at 7:00 AM US Pacific Time (4:00 PM European Central Time). Looks like we're nearing the bottom of the stash of new challenger videos that we've made... Like always, we put a lot of effort into it, so I hope you'll enjoy watching it live," Sakurai wrote.

Friday's Pic of the Day featured one of the newer characters, Pac-Man. "Pic of the day. Pac-Man's up taunt is known as Namco Roulette! Namco characters from the 1980s will randomly appear," wrote Sakurai in the Nintendo Miiverse.

The picture features Pac-Man in what is most likely his Pac-World level. He has his hand out, and a mouse from a classic Namco game is in his hand. See the image here.

"See? There's a variety of characters. Huh? One of them looks pretty recent," he continued. The image shows Pac-Man holding six other characters. See the image here.

The full character list for the game so far is: Mario, Luigi, Link, Samus, Kirby, Fox, Pikachu, Bowser, Donkey Kong, Pit, Olimar, Toon Link, Princess Peach, Sonic the Hedgehog, MegaMan, Wii Fit Trainer, Rosalina, Zelda, the Villager, King Dedede, Lucario, Little Mac, Diddy Kong, Zero Suit Samus, Greninja, Charizard, Shiek, Yoshi, Ike, Pac-Man, Mii Fighters, and Lady Palutena.

The game's release date for the 3DS was revealed as October 3, which was a push back from its original July launch. The Wii U version is still unconfirmed, but it is anticipated for the holiday season.
