New Hero, Items, and More Coming to Dota 2
Dota 2's end-of-year update is finally here, bringing it with it the new hero Arc Warden.
Arc Warden has been one of only two remaining heroes from the original Defense of the Ancients yet make it to the sequel. The hero opts for the indirect approach, duplicating itself (and its items), as well as buffing allies, and harassing opponents. His counterpart, Abyssal Underlord, had been rumored as the game's next addition since as early as The International 2015 Dota 2 championship making Arc Warden's sudden inclusion something of a surprise.
Update 6.86, a.k.a. the Balance of Power update, offers much more than just a new hero, however. Besides the seasonal balance changes the update adds new competitive items, a desert terrain skin with a corresponding music pack, updated player statistics, and a great deal more.
2,295 Things Nintendo Put in Smash Bros. Wii U, 3DS
At the end of today’s Nintendo Direct, Nintendo detailed just how much content will be in Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS when all is said and done.
New content for the game is currently scheduled through February 2016 and accounts for everything that will be released for Smash Bros. on both systems, director Masahiro Sakurai said.
According to Sakurai, by the time all of that content is released, Smash Bros. will boast the following:
Ryu, Roy Amiibo Release Date Announced
During a Nintendo Direct today, Nintendo announced that the next wave of Smash Bros. amiibo – Ryu, Roy, and ROB with Famicom colors – will arrive in the United States on March 18, 2016.
No details on store exclusivity, if any, were revealed.
Nintendo previously confirmed that every Smash Bros. fighter will get an amiibo, but in case you were concerned, the Direct also made it clear that Cloud and the recently-announced Bayonetta and Corrin will also get the amiibo treatment in the future.
Earlier this year, Nintendo revealed that more than 20 million amiibo have been sold worldwide.
Bayonetta Headed to Smash Bros Wii U, 3DS
During a Nintendo Direct broadcast today, Nintendo confirmed that Bayonetta is headed to Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS as a playable fighter.
Costumes will be available to give Bayonetta her longer-haired look from the original game, or her short hair from Bayonetta 2.
Bayonetta will come along with the Umbra Clock Tower stage and will be available for $5.99 individually on 3DS or Wii U, or for $6.99 as a bundle for both systems. On Wii U, she’ll also come along with new music tracks. Nintendo is currently targeting a February 2016 release date.
Nintendo added that Bayonetta was the overall number one choice in the Smash Bros. character poll conducted earlier this year.

Nintendo has revealed that Final Fantasy VII hero Cloud Strife will be available for Smash Bros. on Wii U and 3DS starting today.
During a Nintendo Direct broadcast, director Masahiro Sakurai confirmed that players can buy Cloud in a few hours, but advised that there may be delays if the eShop gets overwhelmed by demand.
Players can purchase Cloud (as well as a new stage based on Midgar) for $5.99 individually on Wii U or 3DS, or for $6.99 as a bundle for both systems.
Cloud was first announced for Smash Bros. in a Nintendo Direct broadcast in November. Final Fantasy VII was re-released on PlayStation 4 earlier this month and we recently learned that its HD console remake will be available as a multi-part series.

During a Nintendo Direct today, Nintendo confirmed that Corrin from Fire Emblem Fates will join the Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS roster as a playable fighter.
As with Robin and Wii Fit Trainer, Corrin will have male and female versions available for players.
An additional stage will not be added along with Corrin, but players who purchase the character on Wii U will receive two new Fire Emblem music tracks, while 3DS players will get Ryoma and Xander trophies.
Nintendo is targeting a February 2016 launch for Corrin, who will be available for $4.99 individually on Wii U or 3DS, or for $5.99 as a bundle for both systems.
