In regards to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as of late, players are still toying around with Arms’ Min Min who arrived to the game’s roster this past June. However, only so much time can pass before fans begin to speculate the next addition to the game’s cast of diverse characters and personas. While there is certainly no tangible lead, there do look to be one instance worth dissecting.

According to an interview between Switch Player Magazine and Grasshopper Manufacture’s Goichi Suda, there looks to be a window suggesting Travis Touchdown is coming to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. When speaking with “Suda51” himself, Suda was told to be very shy on the idea of Travis Touchdown being a possibility for the game. Stating “no comment”, which is evidently unlike Suda to not be vocal about certain scenarios as he’s presented previously.

The report is relayed by @PushDustIn on Twitter that transcribed the recent interview and spared the plausible announcement for the game.

Howbeit, the question does stretch further than you would expect on the surface. The Twitter user later clarified that the question asked to Suda applies to more than just Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. In that, it is suggested if not Travis Touchdown being added to the game’s playable roster, he could be receiving an Amiibo figurine instead. Noted that the character is of a Nintendo-originated franchise, that does seem to be a likely possibility.

It is shocking how much time has passed without Travis Touchdown being added to Super Smash Bros. Since the series emerged on the Wii, the collaborative brawler has faced a slew of unique additions, but Travis Touchdown is still not one of them.

Currently underway for No More Heroes is the coming third installment: No More Heroes III. Despite the game being announced over a year ago for a 2020 release, it was this month that Suda shared more time will be needed for the game’s development – pushing the arrival of the sequel to 2021. So for Travis Touchdown to hit Smash Ultimate in the meantime would keep fans occupied until his new game officially releases.

Elsewhere previously, it was reported that 2009’s No More Heroes was listed for Nintendo Switch in Taiwan. The game initially released for the Wii and later on PlayStation 3, so the port would face some improvements of its original versions. You can read the full report by heading here.
