'Super Smash Bros.' director Masahiro Sakurai has announced that development on the playable character Mewtwo has finally been completed and is expected to be released for 'Super Smash Bros.' Wii U and 3DS editions sometime soon, as per this report at Nintendo Everything which translated Sakurai's YouTube video message.

Mewtwo was originally confirmed as an official character in the game way back in October 2014. The genetically engineered Pokemon has been redesigned artistically from his 'Super Smash Bros Melee' look to more closely resemble his current form in the main Pokemon anime series and video games. The redesign gave the character a more humanoid look, with a more defined musculature and a more proportional head compared to its predecessor.

The character first appeared in the early Pokemon games 'Pokemon Red', and 'Pokemon Blue'. It was a secret character that could be obtained after completing the game and was one of the most powerful Pokemon at the time. Though classified as a Psychic type Pokemon, its moveset was unique as it could learn any single move in the game. Though Nintendo has so far not given any details as to what its moveset will be in 'Smash Bros', it is expected to have a versatile moveset and, at the very least, a handful of Psychic powered moves.

As one of the most popular Pokemon of all time, Nintendo has wisely offered the upcoming Mewtwo DLC as a free download via a special Club Nintendo promotion. Users who purchase and subsequently register their 'Super Smash Bros' (Wii U and 3DS edition) game will receive a special 2-disc soundtrack and a free DLC download code for the Mewtwo update.

The complete list of instructions can be found via this article at Nintendo's official site. Deadline for Registration ended last January for the CD giveaway while the Mewtwo DLC will expire on March 31 later this month.
