New Mii Costumes and other tidbits were also revealed during Sakurai's special Banjo-Kazooie demo. You can catch all the information in the trailer below.

Banjo-Kazooie was revealed during the annual Nintendo E3 Direct. The bear and bird combo weren't immediately shown off, however, as The Hero from the Dragon Quest series got the first reveal of the online presentation.

Nintendo did make sure to end the Direct on a bang with Banjo-Kazooie - a character that many Smash players were clamoring for - was revealed with a Fall release date.

Terry Bogard's inclusion in Smash Ultimate was leaked by a rogue Nintendo UK listing that showed the fourth DLC character would be from SNK. A trademark featuring the SNK logo was shown in the listing, which led to fan speculation.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is available now for Nintendo Switch.
