Melee grand finals, Nintendo announced an upcoming live presentation focused on the franchise’s next entry. A Nintendo Direct on Aug. 8 will have new information about Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, with director Masahiro Sakurai on deck to share it with fans. > It’s hard to predict what this Direct could entail, especially since a runtime hasn’t been revealed and the last Smash Bros. livestream spent nearly 30 minutes detailing the game. But there are some key features we have yet to hear about, and it seems like a good time for Nintendo to start discussing them.
