Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Adds Piranha Plant and More with Latest Patch

Nintendo has revealed that the latest patch for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, v2.0.0, is now live for Switch owners and most notably brings Piranha Plant into the game as a playable fighter, after previously being confirmed last year.
