This really is possible? Are your eyes playing tricks with you? After pinching myself about 74 times, I can safely confirm that it hurt. This is neither a dream, nor an extremely belated April Fools' joke - Minecraft will be joining the cast of the critically acclaimed Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for Nintendo Switch. In the upcoming Challenger Pack Alex and Steve will face off with other mobs like the Enderman or the zombie in a blocky brawl.
While most of us here at Mojang Studios have been busy screaming in pure joy, Jens Bergensten, Chief Creative Officer, offered some words about this surreal, but magical milestone.
"Bringing Minecraft to Super Smash Bros. Jeb said that Ultimate is the result a remarkable collaboration with Nintendo. "As fans of the series and avid players at our studios, we couldn't be more excited to see Minecraft join Smash's already legendary lineup of characters."
You probably have many questions now: When is the DLC going to be out? How effective is Mario at smashing Minecraft blocks? Kirby: What does Steve taste like? Who is Jeb main to? Feah All your questions will soon be answered, and you'll be glad to hear that. All you need to do is tune in to "Mr. Sakurai Presents Steve and Alex" this Saturday at 7:30 AM PT / 10:30 AM ET / 4:30 PM CET, followed by Minecraft Live, our live celebration of everything Minecraft, at 8:30 AM PT / 11:30 AM ET / 5:30 PM CET. You won't want to miss this live celebration of all things Minecraft in just two days.
Please excuse me. I must seal this letter before anyone finds out that I have read it.
