Today's Nintendo Direct was full of non-stop HYPE!!
From Twilight Princess HD and a Midna amiibo to Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow being released on the 3DS' eShop, Nintendo has a released a hurricane of news and amazing announcements in their latest Direct.
As if their storm of amazing news weren't enough, they polished off their show with a Super Smash Bros announcement.
Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy VII has been announced as a DLC fighter for Nintendo's All-Star brawler.
But, that wasn't all. He is accompanied by a Midgar stage that is just full of detail and insane hazards. Additionally, Cloud will be sporting both his classic duds and his outfit from Advent Children. No news of a Kingdom Hearts design, though it could just be an alternate color for his VII outfit.
I personally wanted to see Cloud in PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, though the developers abandoned that game too early on, sadly. However, Cloud looks like he's going to be an amazing character to use in Smash Bros and I look forward to his release date. The official Smash Bros website lists him in a bundle with his home stage, like Ryu was.
Here's the trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wah7AG…

Another note is that in the Direct itself, though not mentioned in the trailer I linked in this description, there will be a special Super Smash Bros presentation in December. I'm guessing this will be when Cloud's release date is revealed, but this also raises a question. Why dedicate a video entirely to Smash Bros? Perhaps Cloud is just the tip of the iceberg and we'll see even more characters as DLC? Characters are always accompanied by a wave of Mii Outfits, and when Ryu was released, they were all based on fighting games. Perhaps we'll see Mii Outfits for Final Fantasy or Square Enix characters in general? Sephiroth, Squall, Lightning, maybe even Sora, perhaps? Maybe to coincide with Pokemon's 20th anniversary in February, we could see the return of the Saffron City stage? Perhaps even a Pokken Tournament stage? Who knows? 
I'm certainly excited, and I can't wait to pit Cloud against Ryu and Mewtwo. Oh, and that Death Battle of Cloud vs Link? It can finally be settled in Smash.
