Super Smash Bros Ultimate: 6 Details You Need To Know
Are you ready to join the battle?
Unless you've been living under a rock, you should know that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is gearing up for a December release on the Nintendo Switch.
Though the console hasn't had any shortage of killer apps since its launch, Ultimate still comes at a crucial time for Nintendo's new machine. With Christmas just around the corner, the release of Smash could help boost Switch sales massively, and put confidence in players praying that the company doesn't run out of steam with must-have releases like they did with the Wii U.
Likewise, there's a good chance that Ultimate could overtake its previous competition and become the best game in the entire series. Hell, if the end product is anything close to the trailers, it could also become a late contender for game of the year overall.
While it might look like "just another Smash", there's plenty that's been changed to try and make Ultimate, well, the ultimate entry in the franchise, and consequently there are a few details you need to know before December rolls around.
6. Everyone Is Returning To The Roster
EVERYONE. Yes, everyone from previous Super Smash Bros. games will be returning in Ultimate, and yes, that includes everybody's favourite character, the Wii Fit Trainer.
The introduction of Simon Belmont, the Inklings, Ridley, and Incineroar, along with so many more characters as playable fighters has been received very warmly, more than living up the "Ultimate" moniker. Also, the inclusion of Ken, Dark Samus, and Richter Belmont as just some of the echo fighters has fulfilled a lot of fans' wishes leading up to the game's release.
However, not only are all of the characters returning, but also all stages, music, weapons, items, and assist trophies.
The new roster will boast 80+ playable fighters with talk of 5 more DLC warriors joining the battle some time next year.
