Minecraft Steve is officially heading to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. What was once only thought to be a possibility in memes has now become a reality. Fortunately, we were able to capture our own reaction to the news on camera and can now share it with you. Our own video manager Mario Rivera was joined by
While Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has finally allowed for many much-requested fighters such as Banjo & Kazooie, Ridley, and King K. Rool to finally join the fray, there are still quite a few others that have still been left out in the cold. One such character is that of Sora from Square Enix’s Kingdom Hearts series. Despite
Director Masahiro Sakurai and Nintendo had previously announced that more DLC characters would be coming to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate after work on the initial Fighters Pass wrapped up.

With The Game Awards taking place tomorrow night, many are expecting that Nintendo will come prepared to reveal who the fifth fighter in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s Fighter’s Pass add-on is set to be. Thanks to some recent activity on one of Nintendo’s official Smash outlets, it seems as though this possibility has now become all the more
Whenever fighting game characters are added to Super Smash Bros., it’s always a bit jarring. It’s not that Nintendo’s popular franchise is not a fighting game, but it definitely deviates from the traditional stylings of fighting games like Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter. Despite that, Masahiro Sakurai and Sora Ltd. have brought several new fighting
Nintendo has slowly and rather silently been pushing their Nintendo Labo VR Kit by adding support to their first-party games, with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate due to be the latest title in this push. Along with that, the 3.1.0 update will add some new features for the game’s Amiibo fighters. Finally, expect yet another new Spirit
If any Nintendo fans have forgotten about Labo, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is making sure that they don’t. Coinciding with the release of the Nintendo Labo VR Kit is a new Spirit event, one that focuses on some newly-added Spirits based on Nintendo Labo hardware and characters. Unlike previous events, which lasted three days, this
Nintendo and developers Sora Ltd. and Bandai Namco surprised Super Smash Bros. Ultimate fans, revealing in a video yesterday that Joker would arrive Wednesday, April 17. While that video went into depth with details about the character and his stage Mementos, director Masahiro Sakurai went a little further through a Twitter thread. These are details
With a wonderful and silly addition to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate came some major loss for players—upon playing as the new DLC character Piranha Plant in All-Star Mode, some players have lost their save data. Unfortunately, Nintendo told Newsweek in a statement that while they are still investigating the issue, they have not been able
This week, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has done the impossible—adding a playable Piranha Plant fighter. With that, the character received the ultimate (heh) honor: inclusion in that gorgeous mural featuring all of the fighters. As a Reddit post points out, here is the portion of that mural with the Piranha Plant in it: Piranha Plant
Despite a mixed legacy when it comes to supporting the eSports scenes around Super Smash Bros., Nintendo wants their fans to know that they acknowledge the serious players of their games. The game company announced today that they will kick off 2019 with two major tournaments, one for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and the other
When I think back on the original Super Smash Bros., I reflect back to when I was a kid, roughly around elementary/middle school age, and when I would play that Nintendo 64 classic endlessly. Those where the days when after getting home from school, I would spend hours in a bean bag chair in the basement,
The Spirits of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate have presented a significant challenge to players, and it appears as though the game will continue to make a focus out of them. According to Nintendo of Japan’s official Twitter account, certain glasses-wearing Spirits will be easier to obtain this upcoming weekend. During the “Spectacled Spirits” event, Strangelove
Though Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has been out for less than a week, many owners of the game are already up in arms about how it plays online. Not only are players experiencing lag during matches, but many are frustrated that their chosen preferences are not put into account when matching up with others. Just
While fans of Shovel Knight may be disappointed that the titular protagonist is not playable in the top-selling Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, they can at least take the consolation prize of the character’s appearance as a non-playable Assist Trophy. To see a character from an independent video game rub elbows with the likes of Mario is still
One of 2018’s biggest releases was bound to be that of Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros. Ultimate which makes it no shock that in its first week on the market, it has jumped to the top of the UK sales chart. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate didn’t just surpass games like FIFA 19, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Call
With today’s launch of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, players around the world will finally have the chance to duke it out once again with their favorite Nintendo characters (and more), but this time around with the largest character roster in a Smash Bros. game yet. However, one of the biggest changes in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is that rather
There’s been a lot of talk about whether or not Red Dead Redemption 2 or Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 will end up being 2018’s best-selling game but it seems like Nintendo’s newly released Super Smash Bros. Ultimate could be coming in hot right behind them. According to Amazon, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is the best-selling video game
Super Smash Bros. is one of Nintendo’s industry titans, as it stands among Mario and Zelda as a powerhouse IP for the company. Outside of the all-star line-up and stellar game direction from walking video game encyclopedia Masahiro Sakurai, the ravenous fan-base has propelled the series to meteoric heights. The series has kept a 17-year-old
They may be passé at this point in time, but reading instruction manuals immediately after bringing a new video game home was one of my simple joys of life. With everything being digital and quite bland these days, that novelty has worn out. One user on subreddit /r/smashbros however, has tapped into that nostalgia by
In a neat bit of cross-promotion, owners of Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Let’s Go, Eevee! can get easier access to a pair of Spirits in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Save files for either title will allow Smash Bros. players to utilize a support Spirit based on their respective game. Fortunately, those who don’t own
We’re a little under two weeks away until the release of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and to make the wait until launch just a bit easier, Nintendo has recently released a new series of gameplay videos for the fighting game.

The roster of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will come in at an astounding 74 fighters, which makes one wonder how exactly the development team chose which character would get in. Fortunately, Smash Bros. Creator, Director, and overall gaming auteur Masahiro Sakurai gave some insight into how exactly this process works in a recent interview with
I played about four hours of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate a few weeks back and unlike the previous builds of the game that I had tried out, this one was a full build. That meant that every character that had been revealed since E3 2018–King K. Rool, Simon Belmont, Isabelle, etc.–were all available for play. This is
Perhaps the most stunning product to come out of the promotion of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for the Switch is that absurdly-long banner artwork, which contains every playable fighter in the game. Thanks to a new commercial uploaded on Nintendo’s YouTube channel, we can now see that banner interpreted in 3D animation form. The video
Expect a whole lot of Street Fighter in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, not only with Ken as a new fighter, but with Guile lending a hand as an Assist Trophy. Viewers of the densely packed Nintendo Direct for the platform fighting game caught a piece of Guile’s famous music theme from his game series of
Masahiro Sakurai confirmed via Twitter that the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC lineup selection has been completed.
