    While I was ready to be disappointed, as I had been with all Smash titles post-Melee, this has absolutely surpassed my expectations. From the massive roster to the variety of modes and customization, ADDING that it is 100% mobile, this is ALMOST everything I could have wanted it to be.

    One point removed for exclusion of Waluigi.

    Great.Great. スマブラシリーズをSPで初めてプレイした筆者は、対戦アクション系のゲームの素人でもある。発売前、筆者はこのゲームの難易度が高いのではないかと心配していた。しかし、要らないしんぱいだった。ゲームの全ての要素は初心者にも簡単に、誰でも分かるように作られている。ファイターたちにはそれぞれの個性があり、どれも最高の完成度を見せている。歴代最高規模であると聞いたが、まさにその通り。前作をプレイした経験がなくても、びっくりするほどの規模と深さに感心される。過去作品を背景にしたステージ、最新のステージ、音楽のアレンジなど、どれも欠かせない作品の大きな部分だ。ソロプレイモードの方もやりがいのある仕組みに仕上がっている。過去への尊敬を限界まで詰め込んで完成された作品と言える。これからの作品に送るメッセージもまた深い。Switchの最高のゲームの一つの座に相応しい名作品だと言いたい。… Expand

    Como pega diría que el online, al menos en el lanzamiento, no funciona del todo bien. Depende de la calidad de la conexión de todos los contrincantes. Si alguno tiene mala conexión, se sufren un montón de congelaciones y ralentizaciones muy desagradables y molestas. Además el modo online es bastante simplón, pero por lo demás el juego es literalmente perfecto.    … Expand

    the different modes are nice
    world of light has for what it is a good ammount of variety in the battles, so look at this as event matches, cuz that is what it is.
    i also need to say that the game seems rly hard at times, i have a friend who ragequitted twice already. i myself can say that some battles tear you apart,
    bossfights are also swell and have some difficulty, and well some of them will destroy you to the moon and back if you dont expect it or fight them for the first time, sometimes they can get you rly cheap but okay

    now a little problem i got with the game is well mode variety could be a bit wider,
    classic mode offers a 2 section but thats one section and its always the same,
    no smash the target, no homerun contest ( not that i care about homerun... i rly dont)
    the story mode is not offering alot of story but i guess again its a gloryfied event mode

    some of the spirit battles will make you scream because of how unfair they seem or well... are.. just saying the mario super star event is rly making me mad
    unlocking characters per world of light is nice, per classic rly random, and otherwise random aswell so yeah, you cant rly work for it exactly as you want    … Expand

I feel not only does Super Smash Bros Ultimate top both of these titles, but it is also easily a top 5 video game of 2018.

    This game contains literally what the title says, an ultimate compilation of all old fighters of the Super Smash Bros series as well as fantastic new fighters to the game. There are so many ways to play this game from the variety of modes that it has to play and characters/stages to choose from. Squad Strike is easily one of my favourite new modes that helps keep the series fresh whilst personal favourites Classic Mode and Tourney strike me with nostalgia.

    The new adventure mode took a while to get used to but I like what it brings. The RPG element of the story is a pretty cool addition and the many fights that it brings definitely gives you lots of time to consume. Personally, some more cut scenes and a few big boss fights like in Super Smash Bros Brawl would have perfected this mode. Hopefully down the track, a Boss Battle mode can be added

    Overall, this game proves that fighter games can still keep up with the best and are very entertaining to play. This game is a must for those who want both a casual beat em up or a competitive fighting experience. Super Smash Bros Ultimate delivers the ultimate fighting package.    … Expand

    Incredible game in terms of both single player and multiplayer content. The single player will keep you hooked for hours, especially the addicting "spirits" modes.

    The multiplayer is phenomenal, but the ideal setup in local co-op. Extremely accessible and rewards, this is definitely the best switch game of the year and a must-have for all switch owners.

The game has a variety of game modes and difficulties for players to engage with along with some online play to boot. My one complaint however is the ramp up in difficulty that seems to come when a new character approaches, I have the game set to default difficulty and manage fine against the AI losing occasionally but mostly winning however when I come up against the challenger approaches enemies I lose a whole lot more. I do understand there should be a challenge in unlocking someone knew so it does indeed feel like an achievement however the ramp up seems extreme especially for new comers to the genre and franchise.… Expand

The character selection is immaculate, with anyone from Mario, to Sonic the Hedgehog, to Cloud Strife, to even a piranha plant. Every person I’ve played the game with has their own character. They all seem to have a special bond with that character, whether they’ve played the character’s home game, or even just like their moveset. The single player offerings are incredible in Smash Ultimate. I’ve seen a lot of people take a dump on the adventure mode, World of Light, but I think it’s amazing. So many tiny little references to hundreds of games, and really interesting strategy involved. Also, something I highly recommend is doing a World of Light Nuzlocke. If you lose a game with a character, you can no longer use them. I’ve beaten World of Light doing this twice, and plan to do it again soon. The online mode is my only small problem with this game. Occasionally, I have problems with an online opponent having a laggy connection, and the ranking system is a bit strange, but honestly I think the online mode is fairly well sculpted.

I also like Classic Mode now being a unique experience for each fighter, as well as the creativity shown with the new "spirits" feature.

    If I had to nitpick, I'd say that I would've preferred more new stages (only four are completely new, but the many returning stages are quite varied). Some modes from past games have been removed, but in this case, I found said omissions to not hinder the experience much, if at all.

    Simply put, if you own a Switch, this is a must-buy. It may well be the best Smash yet, which is saying something for such a consistently fantastic series. I wouldn't pay much attention to those saying that this is a port of the Wii U game; Ultimate is obviously a new game and a separate experience from its direct predecessor.    … Expand

    After countless remakes and remasters, Nintendo finally does an outstanding job with one of their exclusives that was on the Wii U before. This game actually feels like a new one though as they add so much variety in content. Amazing and complete roster for the first time in the series history; nobody is cut.

    As a diehard Melee fan I don't say this lightly, but this is the real deal. This will probably go down in history as the best Smash Brothers game ever made. I'm in awe of how much fun it is to play and how much content there is.

    Mr. Sakurai must have given all of his remaining life force to make this happen and I'm thankful for it. If you like video games at all, get this. It's a must have.

Nintendo wasn't kidding whenever they said they were giving us everything.

    This roster goes above and beyond my expectations. With a vast variety of characters, you really can't go wrong here. I personally love Cloud and Shulk the most, but all fighting styles are represented and represented well. It also seems like some characters' movesets were updated as well, which is always nice. I think Bayonetta got a lift, as well as Cloud, and for the better!

    The classic mode here is nice, and feels a lot like the older games. It's really cool that they tailored each and every character to have a different experience and theme. It's hard to explain, but when you go through the mode, you'll see what I mean. The only gripe I have is that the bonus stage is the same for everyone. I wouldn't have minded a target break stage, but if that's all I gripe about, then well this game is fantastic.

    The new adventure mode, World of Light, is huge and epic. I still haven't finished it yet, but I'm 7 hours in the story mode alone and it feels like I still have a long way to go. It's very addictive though, and powering up your character is rewarding. I plan to play more with it now that I've finally unlocked all the characters in classic mode, which was definitely quite a feat. The challengers definitely show up to fight!

    It's fast, it's fun, and it's competitive, improving vastly upon Smash Bros Wii U and Brawl, not that they were bad games, but they weren't quite as quick and seemless as this game is. I feel this is the TRUE successor to Melee, except more diversity and better graphics! I do hope they improve online play. I noticed quite a lag, and I have really good internet connection.    … Expand

    The gameplay Is amazing, geared towards both beginners looking for a good time with their friends or by themselves while also towards gamers who want to play on a competitive level.

    The Story mode is superb. The singleplayer campaign, World of Light, is a great experience that puts it up with Brawl's Subspace Emissary. Every spirit battle feels like a neat homage to their source games, and considering that there are thousands of spirits in the game, is a pretty incredible feat. However, as honest criticism, I believe that a crucial aspect of the game is lacking in multiplayer capability. Another thing to note that while I had no trouble completing the game on normal mode, I believe that less skilled players might have trouble with even the Easy setting. Perhaps there should be a Very Easy difficulty for those who might want to just enjoy the game.

    Characters. The roster is absolutely huge, and features the return of every single fighter, with many newcomers to boot. No one could forsee fan-favorite characters join the roster like Ridley and Simon Belmont. Although I did enjoy the process of unlocking them, I think there should be a cheat code or an option to unlock all the characters at once for people who just want to pick up the game and play everyone, or in tournament play (though the latter might not be as big of an issue).

    The online experience could be improved. In the midst of all the controversy, I'm going to say that Nintendo still doesn't really get the gist of Online yet, but I believe that things will work out in time, so I won't get too deep into it.

    Overall, the immersive and amazing gameplay, this game is in my opinion definitely worth buying a modest $60 given the massive amount of content put in the game. Great work by Sakurai and his team, and a great experience for many gamers alike.    … Expand

The last entry that I played was Melee. Regardless, I kind of bought into the hype for this game, probably partly because the Switch was having a slow year (aside from Indie games and ports). But I was BLOWN away when I downloaded Ultimate and started playing the story mode. It's just a love-letter to video games. Aside from the HUGE roster of fighters, pretty much every character who has ever appeared on a Nintendo console is present in the game either as a spirit (a kind of equippable playing card that enhances your fighter in particular ways) or as an item. There are over 800 music tracks in the game from god knows how many franchises. The scope of Smash Ultimate is just enormous. I've now played the story mode for about 35 hours and I'm still not finished. Then there's also Classic mode for every character, mob smash, special smash, and of course the Online mode (and many more gimmicks).

    Smash is one these games that is easy to learn but hard to master. It really impressed me how much you can immerse yourself in all the details concerning the combat, if you want to. On the flipside, if someone has never played the game, it takes about 30 seconds to explain the basics and they're good to go. That's just amazing game design.

    I really never thought that I would enjoy a fighting game this much.

    P.S.: LOL at the crybabies giving zero points because their requested characters were not included. Look, I also don't understand why Waluigi is not a fighter at this point in time; when there's THREE different Mii characters in the standard roster.

    The point is: I'm not going to get all butthurt about it. It's still an amazing game, and if you let such small details ruin a great thing for you, then good luck with your life bro. It's not going to be easy.

I have to admit, that some of them are a bit annoying and frustrating, but nevertheless I think this is an interesting mode, even though there are only a few cut scenes and there isn’t a real story. The Classics mode is definitely better than the Wii U one, because this time every character has to do fights against aligned characters and aligned stages and music. And for some franchises they even made new boss fights.

    Awesome game!!! I love this game and it is almost perfect besides a few things that can be annoying but all and all good game.

    An incredible addition to the series with much needed fixes and additions. Only thing weighing it down is the boring single player content and poor online performance.

    I'm taking off a point for the singleplayer content. Home Run Contest and targets are gone, and World of Light is just master orders battles on a map for custom equipment. Putting lore behind them doesn't make them better. Classic is nice, but All star is just a multiman. The actual fighting is so much better than any smash before, and it is the pinnacle of a good competitive game.

    It’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]

    Super 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!
