What is it about the end of March and beginning of April that begets such strange news?

The folks over at Nintendo recently updated the (ahem) “official” Super Smash Bros. website with a brand new character reveal. Nester, the Nintendo Power mascot who frequently appeared in the magazine’s comic strips, will be making his way to the Wii U and 3DS title to duke it out with other newcomers like Animal Crossing’s Villager, Mega Man, and Little Mac, armed with his trusty Zapper.

While this may strike you as a little odd, please remember that no one ever thought Sonic would appear in a Super Smash Bros. game and look where we are now.
