Looks like Nintendo's initial announcement confused lots of people... and their lack of clarification didn't help.

But today, Nintendo tweeted this:

Mewtwo will be available to purchase later in #SmashBros, for those who don't register both versions.

Funny thing is, on the official page for the Club Nintendo offers, Nintendo of America uses the word "may"... Thanks god Nintendo of Europe is there to clarify things once and for all.

By the way, you need to register both games before March 31st (all territories) on Club Nintendo if you want to receive your codes... yes, codeS, as there's a different one for each version (Wii U and 3DS).
For the soundtrack CD, you have until :

- January 13th in North America (you can then request it before January 14th)
- January 20th in Japan/Europe (you can then request it before January 27th in Europe).

It'll be sent in Feb. in Japan / March in EU (1st quarter, officially) / NA

Good. I wonder what the price will be?

Probably pretty reasonable. Nintendo has a decent track record for DLC so far in that regard.

1.50 dollar/euro?

-Horizon- · Nov 20, 2014

That ain't Miku though.

I'll get Mewtwo much later on

Kouichi · Nov 20, 2014

Shocking news.

probably about $3.50

maybe a buck two five

maxcriden · Nov 20, 2014

I'm going to guess a new character will be $7.99.

ShockingAlberto · Nov 20, 2014

Everyone who thought otherwise should just admit, at least to themselves, that they're not smart.

Characters are usually around $5 in fighting game dlcs.

BY2K · Nov 20, 2014

...

Duh.

Nap1400 · Nov 20, 2014

Expecting $5.

LeGourmand · Nov 20, 2014

3-4$ or free with the Mewtwo Amiibo!

Kinsei · Nov 20, 2014

This was really obvious, but it's nice to have official confirmation.

J@hranimo · Nov 20, 2014

Ah expected. Glad they finally officially said it though.

I'm expecting a clean $5

ShadowElliot · Nov 20, 2014

In seriousness, Nintendo has been pricing their DLC well, it'll probably be $1.99 to $2.99 at most.

Yeah, maybe that's why it took them so longer to confirm it.

I am guessing Mewtwo Amiibo will get you a DLC code.
They did not say how you could purchase said character.

axisofweevils · Nov 20, 2014

Shocking news. It's odd that Nintendo took so long to clarify it though.

Can we have a hall of shame for those "$90 DLC" people that really thought this wouldn't happen...

JC Lately · Nov 20, 2014

In a related story: Water is wet and birds go 'tweet'.

Tune in next time for another installment of "things which should not need to be spelled out for you." Is fire hot? We'll find out!

Hatchtag · Nov 20, 2014

My guess? $3.99/free with Mewtwo Amiibo.

Maintenance · Nov 20, 2014

That thread where people said "FUCK YOU NINTENDO, 100 DOLLARS FOR A CHARACTER, I'M OUT", man....what a mess.

Though I understand them, I usually rage too, but that was kinda obvious.

Pop-O-Matic · Nov 20, 2014

$39.99. They're gonna get that money from the people skipping the 3DS version one way or another.

Coolluck · Nov 20, 2014

I'd hope that it's a 3 character pack that's $3 per character or like 7.50 for them all. I definitely don't want a Mewtwo Amiibo being the unlock method.

braves01 · Nov 20, 2014

I want some reasonably priced DLC stages too.

FSLink · Nov 20, 2014

This is my guess too.

I'll be shocked if it costs more than $4.

Kriken · Nov 20, 2014

But I was told Nintendo was forcing people to buy the 3DS version to get him, how could they be wrong?

this is Neogaf, not 4chan... I'm sure people here are not dumb enough to post those kind of posts without comedic intentions.

Now available for free with purchase of Nintendo World Store exclusive Mewtwo Amiibo!

I seriously can't believe that it needed clarification.

Both kinds of posts happen on both boards.

Would go well with its Pokédex number!

Me too. I'd even be happy to buy some HD Melee/Brawl stages. Expanding the stage variety is best best way to add longevity to the game, and has to be easier than making new characters.

akidnamededdy · Nov 20, 2014

Well no shit. Gotta spell things out nice and clear for the mouth-breathers though.

SirUltimos · Nov 20, 2014

They probably never said anything about it, because come on, they were obviously going to sell it.

Zen_Arcade · Nov 20, 2014

This was obvious from the moment they announced Mewtwo. Anyone who thinks a company, even Nintendo, would make a highly anticipated piece of DLC and exclusively release it for free to a limited number of people when they have the option to also sell it isn't thinking clearly.

Necromanti · Nov 20, 2014

Wait, was it ambiguous whether he was a free update or not? I thought they explicitly stated that he was free if you registered both versions of Smash as a special promotion (thereby costing money if you don't do that).

Neoxon · Nov 20, 2014

To those who thought this wasn't the case.

Regulus Tera · Nov 20, 2014

I still don't like that everyone else has to wait extra time. :/

Nintendo be like "uhhhhh I need about tree fiddy"

balladofwindfishes · Nov 20, 2014

Hopefully it's not like the Hyrule Warriors pre-order DLC and it takes like half a year to be available. ...Still waiting on those.

I have both versions, but my brother does not, so I guess he'll have to wait to use Mewtwo on his 3DS :/

No use buying two copies of the Wii U game! (which I think is the main fault of this promo, you can have multiple 3DSs but generally only one WiiU per house).

goldenpp72 · Nov 20, 2014

The delivery of this is kind of frustrating since my Fiancee and I have 2 copies of the 3ds one but only one of the U coming, I do buy the Amiibos so maybe they will give a code away with that too.

well, it's not really an ideal solution, but you can always try to buy a club nintendo code on ebay or something.

Hip Hop · Nov 20, 2014

Just buy the Registration code off someone.

Payed $2 for the 3DS code, and will go towards the Soundtrack CD Club nintendo reward as well when I pick up Smash Wii U.

Orbis Tabula · Nov 20, 2014

Good.
Now.
Ice Climbers, pls.

3bdelilah · Nov 21, 2014

They should add Mewtwo (and preferably some other unannounced characters) in a pack with new stages, I'd definitely buy that.

friskykillface · Nov 21, 2014

i'd say $5 since people are crazy for mewtwo
