Jeff Kaplan, vice president at Blizzard Entertainment and lead director of Overwatch, is giving Nintendo permission to add “whatever character” from Overwatch to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. In a recent interview with IGN, Kaplan said: “To the Smash Brothers team, whatever character you want, we love them all. They’re all our babies, you can have any single one of them. We have 31 to choose from. Tracer’s our girl, Tracer’s our mascot. She’d be my first choice. There’s a lot of great runners up. I think a lot of people can immediately see Doomfist gameplay applying to Smash, but if it were up to me, I’d like to see Tracer.” Wes Yanagi, the principal game producer on the Nintendo Switch version of Overwatch, echoed the choice of Tracer, but added that he’d really like to see Winston enter the fray.
