A recent post on the Xbox Game Pass verified Twitter account has some fans of the
Minecraft and
Super Smash Bros. series very excited, as it could suggest that a character from Microsoft's popular sandbox game could be joining the roster of Nintendo's crossover fighting game.
The speculation began on the 24th of January, during national compliment day, when the Xbox Game Pass Twitter account complimented Nintendo's
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the latest entry in the acclaimed long-running crossover fighting series.
While the tweet itself isn't very telling, it's the choice of words that has
Minecraft and
Super Smash Bros. fans believing this is a tease that would point to either Steve or Alex from the
Minecraft series; all of this because they used the word "dig" in the tweet.
Fans of the
Super Smash Bros. series know that every time a new character is introduced, it's followed by a play on words that fits the character like "Bayonetta Gets Wicked", "Cloud Storms Into Battle", or "Ken Turns Up the Heat" — to name but a few. So Xbox Game Pass using the word "dig" could well be Microsoft actually teasing
Minecraft characters joining
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
This is only but a rumour, but one that could well end up becoming a reality. All fans of
Minecraft and
Super Smash Bros. have to do now is keep their fingers crossed and hope for this to be more than just a tease.
Legendary game worlds and fighters collide in the ultimate showdown—a new entry in the Super Smash Bros. series for the Nintendo Switch system! New fighters, like Inkling from the Splatoon series and Ridley from the Metroid series, make their Super Smash Bros. series debut alongside every Super Smash Bros. fighter in the series…EVER!
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is currently available exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
