According to some fans, a tweet by the creative director of Wayforward Technologies, Matt Bozon, may have teased the appearance of Shantae in Nintendo’s Smash Bros. franchise. The company itself has been pushing for fans to vote for their character in Nintendo’s poll for new Smash Bros. characters.

The tweet by Matt Bozon was accompanied by images of a Nintendo shop display that showed Shantae alongside the likes of Mario Kart 8 and The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap.

“Wow! Shantae sharing space with gaming’s greatest icons!! Thank you very much @NintendoAmerica. See you in Smash ;)” — Matt Bozon

However, there has been no official confirmation as to whether Shantae will appear in a future Smash Bros. game. It is far more likely that Bozon was merely teasing Nintendo with another push to include Shantae, but only time will tell if we see the character in Smash Bros. The game itself was originally released on the Game Boy Color and later brought to the Nintendo DS. The most recent title in the franchise, Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse, was released on the Nintendo eShop for Wii U last December.
