Nintendo Fine-Print Suggests Mewtwo Could Become Paid-DLC in Smash Bros

Update: Nintendo has now clarified that Mewtwo will eventually be paid DLC, but it has no plans for any more add-on content beyond this.

Original story: Contradicting remarks by Nintendo has left Super Smash Bros fans unclear about whether a bonus character will ever be sold in the future.

Mewtwo, a rare Pokémon, will be given for free to customers who have bought and registered both Super Smash Bros for Wii U and for 3DS.

Due to recent comments by the games' director, Masahiro Sakurai, it was believed that buying both versions would be the only way that fans could play as Mewtwo.

"I understand that DLC could add a lot to the appeal of Smash Bros," Sakurai said in a recent interview, before talking down the possibility.

"Creating DLC would involve large additional costs and require the involvement of a lot of people," Sakurai explained. "I can't yet give you an answer about whether the price would justify the costs and criticisms mentioned above."

However, as discovered by Kotaku, the fine print in Nintendo's Mewtwo offer suggests the character will eventually become paid DLC.

The fine-print reads: "Mewtwo DLC will be available for download in Spring 2015. Mewtwo may be available for purchase in the future." Meanwhile, the Japanese website for Smash Bros reads: "In the future, there are plans to sell Mewtwo [DLC]."

GameSpot has contacted Nintendo for further clarification.
