Mewtwo is closer than ever to seeing an official release in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, and we may see him join the playable roster very soon according to a recent interview with director Masahiro Sakurai.

The psychic Pokemon is “pretty much done” according to Sakurai, who recently appeared on a live Nico broadcast alongside voice actor Sugita Tomokazu and composer Kenji Ito. When pushed for more details, the longtime head of Smash development divulged that they plan to release Mewtwo soon.

How soon, though, remains to be seen, but it’s likely more details will arrive for this downloadable character in the near future. Mewtwo will be made available free of charge to fans who purchased both the Wii U and 3DS versions of the title. Be sure to register your games before March 31 to take advantage of this offer!
