Avian archer Decidueye almost made the cut for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, series boss Masahiro Sakurai has revealed.
When it came to choosing a new Pokémon representative, Decidueye made it to the final two – but ultimately lost out to fire cat Incineroar.
The detail comes from the first slice of a two-part interview with Sakurai in Japanese magazine Nintendo Dream (as relayed online by PushDustin, JapaneseNintendo and SourceGaming).
