However, in order to get the update, gamers are required to download the current game to the Wii U platform before the 1.0.9 patch can be installed and experienced. The previously released 1.0.8 update provided new Miiverse stage found in the Smash mode.
While some fans of “Super Smash Bros 4” may have thought that it was because of their votes that Nintendo decided to bring in new fighting characters from other video games, the truth is it is not.
According to Game Director Masahiro Sakurai in his column in Famitsu magazine, Ryu, Roy, and Lucas were already in development long before Nintendo decided on the fan vote idea.
It was only in April when Nintendo hatched a program allowing fans to vote on which fighters they would like to see added on “Super Smash Bros 4” as DLC characters.
Sakurai also disclosed that gamers should expect to see more characters added to “Super Smash Bros 4” as DLC in the next couple of months until the point that the development team can no longer work together as one.
Meanwhile, astute gamer Master0fHyrule lauded Nintendo’s perfect integration of Ryu to “Super Smash Bros 4.” While it was a big risk on the part of Nintendo considering that Ryu carries with him 25 years worth of “Street Fighter” titles, great care was taken by the developer to ensure the seamless integration of Ryu into the “Super Smash Bros 4” fighting roster.
