The final Nintendo Direct for Super Smash Bros. for 3DS/Wii U happens today at 5pm ET.

But, an update released last night for both titles has been data-mined revealing some new information, while keeping most surprises under wraps for Nintendo to reveal.

The biggest piece of leaked information is easily that fan favorite Geno from the SNES classic Super Mario RPG is getting his very own Mii costume! Pretty exciting for most fans, but personally I’m all about that Mallow life, as he is the best character from any RPG ever objectively, obviously. 

More information about Cloud from Final Fantasy VII has also been revealed including his alternate costumes none of which are him in a dress sadly. Cloud’s solo mode victory video featuring a cameo by a certain six-winged monstrosity, and his victory and stage music have also been leaked.

The only other tidbit of information found is that the Kalos stage from Pokémon has been updated, but the details of what that include are unknown. So no new characters or stages may be unveiled, just more information about what we already knew was coming and a peek at a Geno Mii costume. Obviously, take this all with a grain of salt until officially announced from Nintendo.

Find out if this final Smash Bros. Nintendo Direct lives up to the hype in just a few short hours! I’m personally still hoping for Scrooge McDuck and Shaq as playable characters.
