Smash Bros: King Dedede Announced

New Challenger Approaching! Our friend King Dedede is back for the new Wii U and 3DS. 

He wields his trademark hammer, swinging it in most of his standard attacks. His special moves are Inhale ,Waddle Dee Toss, Super Dedede Jump , and Jet Hammer. Inhale is very similar to Kirby's trademark move, except King Dedede lacks the ability to copy abilities. Waddle Dee Toss lets the king throw his minions at foes, sometimes producing not only Waddle Dees but also more deadly Waddle Doos and Gordos.

Super Dedede Jump is an effective recovery move, sending King Dedede high into the air, then crashing into the ground to damage foes. Finally, King Dedede mechanizes his hammer with Jet Hammer. The hammer's power is charged up by holding the special attack button, and then released for a mighty swing. 

I do not know anyone who chooses to play with him but if you do you should be excited to hear that he will be in the next installment. 

As you can see from above Mario is on some sort of side scrolling board. This game image was taken by director Masahiro Sakurai during development. It may be a hint at a the single player mode. I look forward to new exciting news. 

What are you hoping to see in the next installment of Smash Bros.?
