Latest Nintendo Direct Sends Internet Into Frenzy With Smash, Super Nintendo Reveals
While a certain piece of Smash Ultimate News has dominated the online discourse about yesterday's Nintendo Direct, Nintendo made lots of announcements which should have fans excited for what will soon be coming to their Switches.
Lots of Smash Ultimate Announcements
Let's get the big one out of the way first: yes, Sans is coming to Smash Ultimate as an alternate skin for the Mii Gunner character. This is absolutely nuts and blows open any preconceived notions of who is eligible to appear as a fighter in the game. But that's hardly the only Smash news Nintendo announced yesterday. More immediately exciting, Nintendo announced that Banjo and Kazooie, begged for by Smash fans for over a decade, finally became a available fighters.

Pokémon Sword and Shield Announcements
Pokémon Sword and Shield naturally appeared in yesterday's Direct as well. Though the announcements in yesterday's Direct weren't as earth-shattering as some others, we were introduced to Polteageist, a teapot Pokémon, and a "Curry Dex" system which allows you to experiment with ingredients to make power-up items when hanging out with Pokémon.
Polteageist is a Ghost type Pokémon that usually makes its home by hiding amongst dishes at hotels & restaurants. Since its body is made of tea, you may even be able to have a taste. Be careful, too much and you might not feel so well! #PokemonSwordShield pic.twitter.com/ub7yGaRK59
