In a recent PR Email from Nintendo, a certain fan favourite game has been listed amongst others as ‘Coming Soon’. That’s right, Super Smash Bros. for the 3DS could very well be with us this year.

The game was listed with Lego City Undercover: The Chase Begins, Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Pokemon X/ Pokemon Y, all of which are due out for release this year. This definitely points towards a 2013 release date for the Nintendo fighter, but with no official word as of yet, it is very hard to tell how solid this is.

Super Smash Bros. for both Wii U and 3DS are said to be unveiled to the world at this year’s E3. Perhaps that is the time when the release date will also be revealed? We will have to sit tight and wait until July.

Here is a copy of the PR email.
