The newest entry in the Smash Bros series truly earns the title of Ultimate.

I've used phrases that evoke the monumental achievement that is Super Smash Bros. Ultimate a few times in this review and I can assure you it's not hyperbolic. Despite that a lot of the old content isn't as hard-hitting the second, third, fourth, or even fifth time around, the fact that it's all here, and in a manageable file size, is more than enough. After this (and Geno/Waluigi DLC) Sakurai can rest easy.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate takes its name literally, as everything that fans have loved from the series is present and accounted for this time around. It's the party brawler that lets friends go head-to-head with their favorite game characters, now on Nintendo's impressive hybrid console. Spirits, featured in the World of Light story mode, introduce an exciting role-playing element for a new level of strategy and creativity. Thankfully, this and other new additions only add to the winning Smash Bros. formula, never taking away from what works.

Ultimate is a comprehensive, considered, and charming package that refines and builds on an already strong and enduring fighting system.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate takes characters we've played for decades and remasters them into a robust, fantastically enjoyable package

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is Smash Bros. done right, and done bigger than ever before.

Nintendo’s new fighter won’t ship with an instruction manual, so a Redditor created one and it’s beautiful.
