Gaming franchises are one of the most successful and productive ”clusters” from the tech industry. The Super Smash Bros is a franchise which typically boasts with items taken from Nintendo’s series. This doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have its own successful games and that people don’t love the most popular releases from the Super Smash Bros’ series.
Next to its classic and ”borrowed” items, the popular franchise is also famous for pulling in characters coming from other games. However, it looks like we still have a lot to see. According to the latest rumors spread by the Japanese website 5Channel, Super Smash Bros could surprise us with some shocking additions.
