Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has been one of the best selling games in one of the best selling consoles this generation - the Nintendo Switch. It featured a roster larger than any other Smash Bros. game and it was a really great list too.
Nintendo just revealed new characters last night at their Nintendo Direct at E3. Five potential characters from the Dragon Quest 9 game are set to be featured in the game though it's unclear if it's one character with 4 avatars or 5 separate characters.
Smash Bros Ultimate will also be getting Banjo Kazooie, a dual hero who comes from the Banjo Kazooie series of puzzle games.
But there are still so many potential and popular characters from across many Nintendo series that can still be featured. Some of these characters are so good on their own it's a wonder why they didn't make the cut into the game.

Here are 8 characters that we'd like to see in Smash Bros Ultimate that would be a perfect fit in the game.

#8. Bomberman
Bomberman was a series of maze-based games that was originally released for the NES in 1987. Super Bomberman R was released in 2017 after over a decade of not seeing the classic character.
He might be a bit slow for the game but he'll be very fun to play. We've had enough sword-wielding characters already, it's time to show some ranged characters some love.
#7. Namakubi
In 1991, an obscure game for the NES titled Zombie Nation was released. It was all kinds of weird. An alien crashes into the Earth and turns people into zombies. It's up to you to stop it. Who are you? A floating disembodied head of a samurai called Namakubi.
Namakubi in the game had options to upgrade his arsenal. He can have all kinds of creative moves and it would also look hilarious to see a floating head smashing characters.
#6. Spring Man (ARMS)
Or any other characters from the ARMS series. Spring Man is currently an assist trophy in the game. He a few other characters are also Spirits in the game. But the characters from the ARMS series have a lot of potential to fit right into the Smash Bros Ultimate universe.
An Up + B ability to grapple onto edges or a Side + B ability to smash with the extensible Arms would truly be a great sight to see.

#5. Paper Mario
We already have so many variations of Link and one variation of Mario. Why not another variation of Mario in honour of the iconic game? Paper Mario is one of the best Mario based games released. It was released for the N64 back in 2000 and it was truly a creative game.
The game aside, Paper Mario would be an easy addition to the game if he were to retain Mario's existing abilities in the game.

#4. Bill Rizer and Lance Bean
Bill Rizer and Lance Bean were the primary protagonists of the 1987 NES game Contra. A new Contra was also showcased in Nintendo's E3 2019 Direct but they did not feature these characters. In fact, there hasn't been any real consistency in the protagonist names since Contra's inception.
Bill Rizer and Lance Bean stood out and are still iconic to the series. Their futuristic guns and the variety of weapons you could pick up in Contra would conceptually fit in very well in Smash Bros Ultimate.

#3. Crash Bandicoot
Crash Bandicoot has been a PlayStation exclusive for a long time but the series saw a transition into the Nintendo family of consoles over the years. Wouldn't it be great to see an Aku Aku Mask as an ability? Or what about throwing boxes of crates of TNT and other explosives?
Crash Bandicoot could seriously do well as a Smash Bros. character.
#2. Dr Robotnik/Egghead
Dr Robotnik/Egghead is the primary antagonist of Sonic, who is a character in the game. Dr Egghead in the games had a arsenal of advanced technological weapons that caused mayhem. If Bowser Jr. can be a character in the game then why not a character who has vehicles more advanced?
Dr Egghead is probably the character which has the potential to be a Smash character and it's my first choice too. But it would be a disservice to fans if he was #1 on this list...
#1. Waluigi
You might have seen this one coming. Waluigi is the character that is most requested and the most desired to be in the roster of Smash Bros Ultimate. He's only an assist trophy right now but that's a waste of his character. Mario, Luigi and Wario got their own games and are featured in the roster.
But Waluigi is someone who doesn't even have his own game. Fans will scream and shout and riot till we get Waluigi in the game. But we have no idea if that will actually happen. There are still some more characters to be released so let's hope Nintendo surprises us with that Waluigi drop.
