Animal Crossing’s Isabelle revealed as Smash Bros. Assist Trophy

As part of his daily updates to share the development progress of the game, Super Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai has revealed that Animal Crossing: New Leaf’s Isabelle will appear as an Assist Trophy.

“Hello fighters! I’ll assist you with fresh-picked fruit from my town!” Sakurai shared in a message, alongside spreading news of the Super Smash Bros. Direct next week.

His comments presumably suggest that Isabelle’s mid-battle arrival will see her distribute recovery items, helping to reduce damage percentages taken by competing players. That’s speculation though, so we’ll have to wait and see it in action.
