Super Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai has been hard at work on DLC, including new fighters, for the Wii U and 3DS iterations of the series, and there’s even an official Fighter Ballot where fans can vote for the characters they want. We’ve already seen Mewtwo, Roy, Lucas, and Ryu released, but all of those characters were actually in development before the Fighter Ballot opened.

Sakurai has revealed that “several” more characters are planned, and from now on, they’re entirely based on “fan service.” Here is his explanation of their plans:

“There is a fighter ballot on the official Smash for Wii U/3DS website. We’ve received an extremely large number of votes, but of course, Lucas, Roy, and Ryu were in developed even before the ballot was created. I had a grasp on their popularity and demand, though. “From now until the end, it is going to be fan service, but I can’t keep the development team together forever, so there’s only going to be several more characters. I also ask for your patience, as we need time to develop more content.”

With several more characters on the way, who do you hope to see? Are you glad to see Nintendo taking this “fan service” approach?
