    This is Easily the best Smash Bros ever. Ultimate puts every stage, character, assist trophy, Pokémon and music track into one amazing game. Online needs some fixing but other than that its amazing.

Basically it's a fighting game with lots and lots of characters and lots and lots of options. Then there's the single player campaign with and endless stream of special power-ups en ways to enhance your abilities. The many stages have lots of things that can happen. What you end up with is a load of surprises every time you start the game, and the only way to master it is by playing hundreds and hundreds of hours to master the different fighters and to learn all there is to learn in this massive game.

    I'm still not hooked on the game, but there's no denying that this game is very big and very well-executed. There are just so many ways to play the game, and there's so much to discover. The difficulty can be set very low. And although a victory isn't very satisfying then it allows you to discover what your character can do. Classic mode automatically ups the difficulty if you win too easily.

    Multiplayer I've mainly done locally. It's fun even if you lose. There's a lot of options to setup tournaments.

    All in all this is a very extensive game. I'm not a fan but still have 50+ hours invested in it. If any game on Switch is worth buying for the content alone it's this.    … Expand

    the game is good but it doesnt have the hype of a party game i used to play since brawl its more like all the games mixed to one and the game i played doesnt feels like its finished hope thy make more content either payed dlc or free like put more stage for example

    Go back to the retirement homes Melee boomers, this is the best Super Smash Bros game. Most characters. Best music. Balanced. No stupid wave dashing. I don't know what Nintendo is possibly going to do for the next one because it's hard for me to imagine this ever being topped.

    A game that is great whether you have friends over or are playing against the basement living players of the online mode. The game still has it charm even playing against the NPCs, although the story mode is not something i could get into but I would still recommend this game nether the less.

    smash bros five

    pros
    - perfect story mode
    - relates to avengers movies heavily
    - good fighter choices
    - great offline mode

    cons -
    insanely awful battle arena and tourny mode
    for arena wait time is horrible
    and for tourny mode it is all troll play and soar winners
    normal smash mode is not rewarding enough
    no other cons

    other -
    - smash down is heavily redeeming

    I think it is an almost perfect game, however I think that something that fails is in the theme of the swordsmen, although there are almost none, what there are are too similar and that gives little variety to this type of fighters.

There is so much depth to discover here, yet you can just sit down with a bunch of your friends and punch each other as well. it is a must own game on your Switch.

    I rate smash ultimate a 9/10 because, all the characters from the past games are here; with the inclusion of new characters, the story mode is okay but, the repetitiveness gets annoying in a way if you play the world of light a second time, but the first it feels amazing and the boss fights and gameplay feels axing and awesome.

    Super Smash Bros. Ultimate es sin dida el mejor juego de la saga, tanto en cuanto a jugabilidad, como en modos y personajes. Todas las novedades están muy bien implementadas, y el tablero de espíritus me ha encantado. Jugabilidad muy buena, con mapas muy variados. Si te gusta la saga, es totalmente recomendable.

There is so much content with way more than ever before! Literally every single character from past games is in with no one cut, while there are a few great newcomers too like Inkling, Ridley and King K Rool. There are over 100 stages with most of them being retro stages that are graphically updated to look way better! There’s over 900 music tracks, which is massive, and most of these tunes are bangers! The core gameplay is the best we’ve seen in the series so far, it’s really smooth and controls well. World of light was okay but nowhere near the magic of the Subspace Emissary in brawl. Feels more like a long series of event matches. There aren’t as many side modes which is one of my favourite things about the series. They did add Home Run Contest and Stage Builder later on but they should have been there from the start. I love this game on its own but the main reason I can’t give it a higher score is due to the direction it went down post launch. It now feels like the game is nothing but a vehicle to create hype. It’s being targeted towards YouTubers and twitch streamers who scream and overreact to some dumb character announcement. There is so much more to the Super Smash Bros franchise than just characters. I feel like Sakurai has taken the series into a bad direction with the DLC. Speaking of the DLC, most of the characters we got are awful with only a couple that I thought were cool to see. Super Smash Bros is supposed to be a fighting/party game where elements from across Nintendo’s different franchises come together and provide the best experience possible. Now it’s like anyone from any video game can get in which ruins it. Luckily they are done with the DLC so they can’t rely on Smash to create hype anymore. But overall, Ultimate is a good game and a great experience if you’re looking for tons of characters and stages.… Expand

    Super Smash Bros Ultimate is amazing. The character roster is fantastic. They have so many maps to choose too.

    But, if you ever go into online, you'll see the biggest flaw with the game. From toxic players, to infuriating strategies to play, there's a lot. There's still a lot of good people in the game though.

    Best smash game by far, especially if you look at the casual side. The most characters, items, stages, and music, along with many other modes. I personally don't really have a bad time online and the game play is the best in the series so far.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is insane.
    From the graphics to the soundtrack to the selection of the numerous fighters Sakurai decided to bring back, this game is a must-play for hardcore gamers. Also, the Adventure Mode is spectacular. It's completely underrated and needs to be acknowledged more.
    Simply put, my brothers and I LOVE this game to death and I hope this concludes the "Super Smash Bros" series, especially because it's the "ultimate" game, as well as that final scene with Mario and Sora shaking hands. If that's not a superb way to wrap up a 20+-year franchise, nothing is. Hell, if there was another game announced, it probably won't even compare to this game.    … Expand

    Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is a very fun platform fighter and experience, with an extremely large cast of characters to choose from. From a casual point of view, it has a wide range of character designs and archetypes to play one that fits your personal playstyle, whether it is sniping with Samus, or chasing them down with fox, every experience is refreshing. From a hardcore player's pointSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate is a very fun platform fighter and experience, with an extremely large cast of characters to choose from. From a casual point of view, it has a wide range of character designs and archetypes to play one that fits your personal playstyle, whether it is sniping with Samus, or chasing them down with fox, every experience is refreshing. From a hardcore player's point of view, the cast is balanced excellently and a 'bottom tier' character can beat a 'top tier' character, which allows for one to play a character that they like to try and win rather than the 'meta' character.

    There are so many movement options for both casual and competitive players. A person who just picked up a controller can move around, dodge and counterattack relatively well, because the game allows for fluid movement, and while it isn't quite like SSBM level speed, it is quite nice. A competitive player can learn tech like B-reversing or wave bouncing and wave landing, or character-specific techniques to master the art of a character like Ryu for example.

    My only problem with the game is the single-player campaign and online experience. If a person does not own a LAN adapter, the online matches run at very low frames per second, and input delay almost lasts more than a second at times, making matches frustrating. The campaign isn't all that bad, since there is strategy and kind of like a general RPG, collecting 'spirits' and characters and using them in battle, But it does get repetitive, and since Kirby is the only character available at the first, and much longer to unlock your favorite character, it might not be too fun.

    Overall, solo play and playing with friends on this game is certainly worth it, and I would definitely recommend this game to anyone trying to get into the Fighting Game Community (FGC) or familiar with the Super Smash Bros. franchise, truly a must play.    … Expand

    If you ask me what the best game to play with friends on the Switch, then Smash is the only answer.
    Over 80 characters, 104 stages not counting the costume one's you can make or download. Tons of game modes including the single player world of light, plus online matches make's this game the best fighting game on Switch.

    Enjoyable gameplay. Fairly fast paced in terms of competitive rule-sets, and casual gameplay is also quite fun with a variety of fun and enjoyable items to use. However, after playing for quite a while it gets incredibly stale. Pretty fun game, but does not quite have all that much variety to it in my opinion.
