While the most recentNintendo Directmay have left fans a bit disappointed, it seems that there may be another coming soon. While fans speculate on the subject of this event, many believe that the announcement may have something to do with the nextSuper Smash Bros Ultimatefighter.
Since the 35th anniversary ofMarioon the horizon, some fans believe that the Nintendo Direct may be giving a majority of the time of celebrating the iconic mustachioed plumber. However, there are some theories that lead fans of the franchise that the event may actually be centered onSuper Smash Bros Ultimate.

One of the main reasons that fans believe that this is the case is due to the game’s event schedule.Smashplayers have been able to expect weekly events from Nintendo, whether it be a weekly tournament or a special Spirit Event. However, there has been no announcement for an event this week, and the last time that an event was announced late was the same time that Nintendo surprised players with the unexpectedSmall Battlefield stagepatch. Since this is the precedent that Nintendo has set, many believe that something new is again coming for the game.
However, this isn’t the only reason that fans believe the upcoming Nintendo Direct will be focused on the fighting game. Recently, a new discovery called Amiibo Theory has been popularized in the community. According to this theory, Nintendo will make new DLC fighters available before or after the Amiibo for previous additional characters forSmash Ultimate.
Since the Amiibos forJokerand Hero will be released at the beginning of next month, it would make sense that the time for the next fighter to be announced would be coming soon. While Nintendo has not confirmed that the Nintendo Direct will be occurring soon or the contents of the announcement, it would make sense for aSmash Ultimatecentered event to be coming soon, even if it does not reveal the next fighter.
Many fans of the game are theorizing who the next DLC fighter may be. There is currently a strong case that one of the fighters in this pack will beDante fromDevil May Cry, and polls continue to show that many fans would love to see Crash Bandicoot or Master Chief fromHalotaking to the stage. Only time will tell which character receives theSmashinvite next.
