Nintendo has revealed that Final Fantasy VII hero Cloud Strife will be available for Smash Bros. on Wii U and 3DS starting today.

During a Nintendo Direct broadcast, director Masahiro Sakurai confirmed that players can buy Cloud in a few hours, but advised that there may be delays if the eShop gets overwhelmed by demand.

Players can purchase Cloud (as well as a new stage based on Midgar) for $5.99 individually on Wii U or 3DS, or for $6.99 as a bundle for both systems.

Cloud was first announced for Smash Bros. in a Nintendo Direct broadcast in November. Final Fantasy VII was re-released on PlayStation 4 earlier this month and we recently learned that its HD console remake will be available as a multi-part series.
