During the Nintendo Direct presentation today, the company confirmed the appearance of Ridley in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
The beast, a popular antagonist in the Metroid series, has been a firm favourite amongst fans to receive inclusion in the Nintendo fighter. Their wish will be partially confirmed as Ridley won't be a playable character, but will instead be found in the Pyrosphere stage.
He'll initially cause trouble for players, but if one player attacks Ridley enough, he'll join that fighter's side and battle rivals. If the flying beast consumes enough energy, he'll transform into the devious Meta Ridley and be even more vicious.
However, Ridley can be knocked-out to earn a point towards the match's result.
Should Ridley have been a playable character in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U?
