Dec 9, 2018Finally a Super Smash Bros game that has a extremely fast gameplay since Melee.
It has a lot of content for both casual and competitive players. FURTHERMORE, it is the most balanced smash game ever.
Online is trash but I am sure they will fix it.
BEST SMASH GAME EVER -

Dec 7, 2018Absolutely perfect! The last Smash Bros that I played was the 64 version, and everything is great on this Ultimate version, lots of characters, stages, soundtracks... graphics are very good, as much as the ultimate blows. I give 10 even without playing the history mode... the game delivers what he promises and much more.
Thanks for this masterpiece, Nintendo! -
Dec 7, 2018The ultimate super smash bros game. The game play is top notch, and it is loaded with so many things to do. I will easily spend over 100 hours on this game
-
Dec 7, 2018The best smash bros game so far, combines everything for casual and competitive game. Without a doubt this is the best work of Sakurai.
-
Dec 7, 2018It´s amazing game, is posible to play a lot of time with the aventure mode and the online.
-
Dec 7, 2018My sister, girlfriend, and I have been playing all day and loving it. Only having eight characters at first has been really fun. It's more engaging to unlock the characters just by playing longer.
-
Dec 7, 2018My first smash bros game and I love it, so much fun. For those who think this game is a port. It's not and never will be one. So just stop fxxk around and try to trash this masterwork.

Dec 7, 2018All these fake 0 scores from people who probably do not have the game or just haters. Coincidence that these accounts have given specific 3 games of Pokemon lets go 0 as well while not reviewing any other games?
-
Dec 7, 2018a fantastic insane brawler. Its more realistically 8-9 for a score but as the way of things with metacritic, there is a need to offset the 0s from the fanboys with hurt feelings
-
Dec 7, 2018Joker from persona 5 was in!, ...................Take that Waluigi Fanboys.

Dec 7, 2018Super Smash Bros. Ultimate takes a superb game to new level with so much content that is near to impossible to try all there is included in it.
-
Dec 7, 2018They just announced Persona 5 in freaking Smash Bros Ultimate. I'm f*cking sold.

Dec 7, 2018Best fighting game ever made by far. Awesome game with all the greatest characters in gaming all in one package. It got everything you could ever wish for like adventure mode, spirit mode (challange mode) etc. If you don't love this you are not a gamer.

Aug 10, 2020It is the best Smash Bros game made. The game is a mix of every game, with all the characters.
The only bad things are the on-line battles and the lack of new content at the release date.
In overall, a very good game. -
Sep 21, 2020Great game, terrible online even with a LAN adapter and good internet which especially sucks during quarantine.
-
Aug 30, 2019Good game on its own but I wish they had more online modes and an actual rank system and competitive playlist, a big step up in gameplay from smash 4 but a step down in playlists.
-
Jun 27, 2022Fun to play with your friends. The variety of characters and scenarios makes this one to have a very good reply value. Controls can be a little bit hard to take.
-
Mar 4, 2019Probably the best fighting game ever. There is an insane amount of content, with every character from previous Smash games returning. Gameplay is awesome. Classic mode is the best in series, as each character has their own adventure. Graphics are stunning. Best soundtrack ever. It was close to a 10, but the poor online and missing modes drag this amazing game down to a 9.
-
Dec 10, 2018Best Game on switch I could do this short but I'll develop
There is everything multiplayer, collection, Solo mode, Online Tornaments And everything is just amazing !!! -
Jul 18, 2019A great smash game that simply has it all. The gameplay is just amazing. -1 for DLC.

Jan 31, 2020This really is the ultimate Super Smash Bros. Game. I think that the controls have been perfected with some new additions like the perfect parry which adds to how much skill a person needs. The music in this game is incredible... everything is just perfect.
-
Apr 1, 2020SSBU is the game that's worth your money, a crossover of Nintendo and 3rd Party characters battling out to victory! Explore a lot of old and new modes, a new story mode, and play with tons of the most popular characters like Mario, Snake, Sonic, Mega Man, PAC-MAN, Ryu, Ken, Cloud, Bayonetta, Simon, Richter, Joker, Hero, Banjo-Kazooie, Terry, and more!
-
Mar 9, 2020Very fun game , lots of characters and as of now 2020 the online mode is super crisp with 0 lag .
-
Aug 22, 2020This game is perfect to play with friends, the roster has a character for everyone, the controls are easy to learn but hard to master and the stages + power-ups are really fun. However the competitive side of things don't appeal to me that much. I don't think this game is made to practice moves in training for hours or learning the weaknesses and strengths of every single character.

Jan 3, 2021El mejor juego de switch. Soy un gran jugador desde la primera entrega y con facilidad puedo decir que no hay nada igual a este juego

Feb 10, 2021Que decir de este juegazo, la franquicia a la que mas horas de mi vida le he dedicado en cuanto a videojuegos se refiere, este es impresionante por el enorme contenido que tiene, sin mencionar que los DLC solo alientan a revicitarlo mas y mas.

Feb 18, 2021This game is almost perfect. The only problem I had was the on-line system, that was very lagged for me, but It doesn't deserves nothing less than 9,7
-
Feb 21, 2021Perfect for everybody, beginners to experts. Play it, you have about 100hrs of content.
-
Mar 5, 2021My favorite Switch game. I've played it for over 100 hours and I'm still not bored
-
Feb 28, 2021I liked this game a lot as of the multiplayer mechanic and the competitive-ness to it. The roster of characters opens a door for many different type of people to main a character. The downside is that there is a big learning curve to it and there is many fundamentals to learn.
-
May 27, 2021The best of all the smash bros yet. Other then laggy online play (which basically ruins it) it is an absolutely perfect game.
-

My favorite fighting game of all-time. Now Sakurai, please rest. I beg of you. -
Apr 2, 2022Epic battles with characters that we never thought to see together along with total chaos, what more could you ask for from Super Smash Bros Ultimate
-
Nov 16, 2021It really is the perfect video game. I hate it though and the online is trash.
-
Jul 7, 2022A large cast a character from the as well large history of the gaming world. Amazing base soundtrack from the game itself added even more from other games. Its fun as a party game and as well as a competitive one.

Jul 20, 2022This is a great fighting game with a large amount of content and an expansive roster. Even if some roster choices are a tad weak. The story mode does leave a lot to be desired but the core gameplay is quick and entertaining.
-
Dec 11, 2018por que es el mejor juego de lucha de switch y de toda la historia de los videojuegos y punto.

Dec 11, 2018The best smash Game so far. Masses of content, game modes, characters etc. And finally you have to unlock everything again. It's so much fun, I love it !

Dec 15, 2018Super Smash Bros is back. I have been waiting for a long time since I had Nintendo Switch. Thank you Nintendo

Dec 10, 2018It´s AWESOME!!!! There are a ton of characters and a lot of scenarios. It´s the perfect gift for this xmas season

Dec 10, 2018Thanks Mr. Sakurai, an awesome game!
Can't stop playing! 10/10 The definitive version of Smash Bros -

Dec 9, 2018So much love and passion was put into this game it's hard not to give it a perfect score. With the most Characters, Stages, Song, a ton of spirits and a very lengthy yet fun story mode this is definitely the Ultimate version of smash brothers by far.

Jan 17, 2019Simply the best so far both for casu and pro players. If you have a Switch you defenetly need to buy SSBU
-
Mar 27, 2020The roster is amazing for the most part, but overall it's not the best smash bros game. world of light is extremely boring and everyone wishes it was subspace. while the roster is impressively large yes it is also impressively unbalanced. Every character is either unplayable or broken.

Dec 21, 2018Amazing feel to the comp side and world of light is pretty fun too. The only downside is the online matchmaking for rules is very inconsistent at it's current state.
-
Dec 10, 2018Amazing game! Although world of light isn't as good as subspace, it's better than melee's adventure mode. Nerfs and buffs to good and bad characters are always welcome. A 9.7/10 in my opinion.
-
Dec 10, 2018This game is fantastic. This is very subjective but if your getting a switch and one game get this game over zelda and mario as this is a great single and multiplayer game. Just keep in mind when you don't beat a new fighter play a few ore matches and check games and more.

Dec 11, 2018Absolutely STELLAR. I didn't know this series could get any better. But it just did!

Dec 9, 2018Masahiro Sakurai definitely worked his butt off to make sure this is the most ultimate version of Smash Bros. The amount of content in this game is just amazing. You can tell a lot of love and care was put in by the director. Thank you Masahiro Sakurai, you deserve a long vacation.

Dec 26, 2018excelente juego. en verdad a este juego se le puede llamar la edición ultimate de un vídeo juego. tiene una gran jugabilidad, un modo "historia" bastante bueno y miles de horas de jugabilidad tanto para un jugador en modo online como para jugar con tus amigos en tu casa. la música y el arte del juego es hermoso. altamente recomendable.

Dec 12, 2018Amazing. This game is packed with content with over 70 characters and 100 stages. It has the best local multiplayer experience around. Highly recommended and worth buying a Switch alone.

Dec 11, 2018Amazing character roster and more to come, great stages, fun gameplay for newcomers and old fans of the saga alike. It's great. Only thing that wasn't so great was world of light. A must have for Nintendo Switch owners.
-
Dec 15, 2018Great game with pretty bad online, still worth every cent. The amount of content is huge

Dec 9, 2018This is the best Smash Bros game ever made by far. It's snappy, full of content and has an amazing UI. I could not ask for a better fighting game with a stronger roster.
-
Dec 9, 2018I can play 8 players with my whole family, with pretty much every character and map in Smash Brothers history. The controls are more or less the same, and handling is about 95% equivelent.
This is the best Smas Bros game ever IMO. Well done Nintendo, you still do some things right. -
Dec 9, 2018Es increíble me ha gustado mucho, es el mejor juego que he jugado genial regalo navideño
-
Dec 13, 2018Great game, worth the price, especially if you skipped Smash 4. Even so, this game is incredible. Some of these 0 scores are people who haven't played the game or people who just are not good at it and complaining. Not all, but a decent chunk.

CD-ActionMar 25, 2019It’s not just a great fighting game and a perfect party title, uncommonly enjoyable and absurdly rich in content that should suffice for literally years of fun. It’s also an amazing homage to the history of video games. [02/2019, p.60]
-
Mar 5, 2019Super Smash Bros. Ultimate escalates everything the series was known for, and delivers it flawlessly. Biggest fighter rooster ever, more dynamic gameplay, loads and loads of gameplay modes, stages, weapons, music, stuff! If there is a smash that deserves your cash, this is the one!
