Lucario’s Return Confirmed for Super Smash Bros.

Fans of the Steel/Fighting-type, bipedal canine, Lucario, rejoice! The scene-stealing Pokemon from 'The Mystery of Mew' is an official addition to the next Super Smash Bros. title.

The Super Smash Bros. webpage has announced that Lucario is officially returning to Nintendo's anticipated fighter. According to Masahiro Sakurai's post on the Miiverse website, much of Lucario's focus in terms of changes and redesign relates to his auras and how they raise his damage output when he's on the verge of death. We hope to see his Mega Evolution form from Pokemon X/Y appear as some form of his Final Smash.

Though no release date has been set, we expect that this Super Smash Bros. title reach the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS later this year.
