Super Smash Bros Switch: 10 Ways Nintendo Can Learn From Their Best Games
What can be added to a game that has it all?
Nintendo have been on a roll lately, pumping out genre-defining masterpieces like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, while drumming up anticipation for big holiday hitters like Super Mario Odyssey. The Nintendo Switch has taken the world by storm, there's no doubt about that, but the big N has been conspicuously quiet about one of its most beloved franchises - Super Smash Bros.
Each Smash title brings with it an assortment of new characters and stages from all kinds of Nintendo games and whatever game comes next in the esteemed series isn't likely to change that. It's only been two and a half years since Smash Bros graced the Wii U (and 3DS), but during that time, a very different Nintendo has emerged.
Since the last Smash Bros was released, we've seen Nintendo let loose on third-party partnerships, reinvent their most stalwart franchises almost beyond recognition and even release a couple of new IPs.
Taking all of this into consideration, what could Nintendo be planning to add to the next Super Smash Bros?
10. Return Of The Ice Climbers!
Series veterans the Ice Climbers were disappointingly absent from the last iteration of Smash.
The reasoning was put down to a lack of power in the Nintendo 3DS - having two separate characters running around proved too taxing, and with Nintendo wanting a handheld version of the game to go alongside the Wii U version, both titles suffered.
Now though, with the Switch allowing players to enjoy Smash Bros both on the go and at home, there's no reason for the Ice Climbers to be left out. The console is clearly powerful enough, being slightly more powerful than the Wii U, and fans would like to see these two retro characters make a return to the fray.
