"Super Smash Bros. 4" is one of Nintendo's top-selling games. The fighting game continues to be fresh and exciting due to frequent DLC updates. Nintendo is rumored to be gearing up for the release of another DLC update.

The DLC update released last Sept. 30 included a "The Legend of Zelda" Pirate Ship stage, a Super Mario Maker stage, several new Mii fighter costumes, along with other additional stages and characters.

For the upcoming DLC update, it is believed that three new characters would be joining the "Super Smash Bros." roster. The upcoming DLC would also be introducing two new stages.

It was widely believed that Shovel Knight was one of the characters joining the roster. The protagonist from Yacht Club Games' "Shovel Knight" was considered to be one of the frontrunners of Nintendo's Fighter Ballot. Speculations about Shovel Knight's addition became rampant after Nintendo mistakenly added the character to its Smash Series listing.

Unfortunately, game developers from Yacht Club Games have taken to their Twitter to deny these reports. "Appreciate the enthusiasm for the idea, but I believe this listing was made in error," the game developers said. It was also revealed that Shovel Knight was incompatible with the Nintendo game.

Nintendo, on the other hand, has remained quiet and have not divulged any details. At this time, the winner of the Fighter Ballot has yet to be revealed. It's possible that Nintendo intends to build the suspense in order to surprise gamers later on.

Meanwhile, fans continue to speculate on who the next playable character would be. According to Gameranx, most of the rumors indicate that it will be a new and popular character. Upon its release, the character would also be coming with a new stage.

Rumors also suggest that a character from "Splatoon" will be joining "Super Smash Bros. 4."

"Super Smash Bros. 4" is available for the Nintendo 3DS and the Wii U console.
