It’ll hit the base game eventually
Capcom and Nintendo are no strangers to partnership-building promotions, and this one is once again hyping upSmash Ultimateand aMonster Hunterentry.Monster Hunter Stories 2is just around the corner, and although the bonus is fairly small, you do get an unlock in the form of aSmashspirit.
As confirmed by the officialSmashTwitter account run by Nintendo, the small winged Razewing Rathalos is unlocked via aStories 2save file. All you need to do is have a file in the game that’s out from July 9 on, and you’re good to go. The one in the promotional image shows 3,144 power.
In case you’re wondering, this isn’t exactly new forSmash Ultimate. Several other games have done tie-in spirits, and those have/will eventually hit the core game in time. For instance,Arthur was given out as a “special present” forGhosts ‘n Goblins Resurrection.
