During the Nintendo Direct, the Big N has revealed that a new wrestler will join the roster of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: we speak of the much-rumored Banjo and Kazooie.
This was revealed in the Nintendo Direct of E3 2019, in which Nintendo showed us a new trailer that brought together the entire Rare family that was born on the Nintendo consoles. It also showed us that this character will arrive with his own scenario and that the downloadable content will include musical themes of the series.
The release date of the DLC, at the moment, is fixed at a generic “Fall 2019”. Here’s the first look at Banjo in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate:

In a survey dating back to 2018, fans had voted for Banjo and the companion as the most desired character in the Nintendo fighting game.

The Japanese company wanted to listen to the fans’ wishes, as happened previously with Ridley and King K. Rool in 2018. As early as 2018, through Twitter, Phil Spencer had opened the doors to the arrival of the character – whose rights are in hand to Microsoft – on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
