Rosalina and Luma make their Smash Bros. debut

Rosalina and Luma, two stars of the Mario universe introduced in the Wii's Galaxy games, are to make their first appearance in the Smash Bros. series next year.

Nintendo made the announcement during a busy Direct, in which it was also confirmed that the duo would be starring in Mario Kart 8.

There's still no precise date for Super Smash Bros., which is due to head to Wii U and 3DS some time next year, but more details are dripping in by the day. Rosalina and Luma are joined by a Super Mario Galaxy themed level, and plenty more besides.
