The development team at Nintendo working on Super Smash Bros. on the Wii U and the 3DS confirms that King Dedede will be part of the line-up for the fighting game when it launches later during the year.

The team is offering an official profile for the character and says that fans of the game will be satisfied with the abilities that he can bring to a match.

Kling Dedede is one of the main antagonists in the Kirby series of video games and he was part of the Smash world once before, in Brawl.

Super Smash Bros. is one of the highest-profile launches for both the Wii U and the 3DS this year and Nintendo is doing all it can to include characters that appeal to as many fans of its franchises as possible.

The developers have said that the game is designed to appeal to modern players while still keeping the core gameplay of the series intact.
