Nintendo unveils Simon Belmont, King K Rool for Smash Bros

We have some fantastic news for Smash Bros fans now, as Nintendo has just unveiled some big surprises during the Nintendo Direct event hosted this week.

Focusing on two of the biggest reveals we saw, it has now been confirmed that both Simon Belmont from the Castlevania series, as well as the iconic King K Tool from Donkey Kong Country will both be added to the roster as playable characters.

Nintendo has released teaser trailers for both and we can see already judging from social media reaction that a lot of you are extremely happy about both reveals.
