There will be all kinds of info about the new Smash Bros. games on this simultaneous global stream that will be delivered "directly" to you, so don't miss it! You'll be able to watch the stream from the official site (www.smashbros.com).
Since it's happening at 11PM in Europe that would make it 6PM EST for North America. I sure did not see this coming since we just got lots of info on Mario Kart 8. I think a new character and some game modes will be shown but, the release date likely won't be shown until June.
