Hands-On With Every Major Upcoming Video Game - Ranked

8. Super Smash Bros.

Speaking of Nintendo, Smash Bros. Ultimate played exactly how you'd expect.

Though the build at EGX didn't include the entire new roster, characters I got to try out included Bayonetta, Solid Snake, Pac-Man, Little Mac and Samus. At this stage if you've played any SSB game, you know the score:

Overblown launcher attacks, a propensity for button-mashing, super-powered screen-covering specials and the best roster in any game, ever.

Movesets for the aforementioned felt largely the same, but with a handful of new stages like Breath of the Wild's shrines being hyper-detailed and a joy to watch unfold, it's arguably acceptable for Nintendo to rest on their laurels.

For Ultimate, clearly Nintendo are going all out, putting together a selection of fighters that even includes the Castlevania crew, but for EGX it was standard Smash Bros. multiplayer, just like you remember it.
