    The best smash bros game so far. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is more than best-of-hits collection of Smash games past; lots of characters, stages, soundtracks... graphics are very good, as much as the ultimate blows.

    This edition has really everything. You can make your own fighters, the content of the game is incredible in quality and quantity. If you ever played Smash - and even remotely liked it - you can consider buying it. But, if you have friend/wife/kid/brother/sister who can play it with you - don't hesitate - BUY IT NOW - you won't regret it...

    Es increíble la desde el modo local, la inteligencia artificial es muy buena, y hace que te desafies, el gameplay es magnifico, sin mencionar la cantidad de personajes, el online es bueno pero podría mejorar, es por los servidores, y el contenido adicional como mini juegos y las canciones y tal es simplemente gratificante.

    The very best episode of the saga from my point of view. Huge solo content, fast gameplay, wide selection of characters, and damn, what a pleasure to play it with friends, a must have for sure.
    Just to find a cons, the online is terrible for finding other players and in terms of lag but an update may come later.

    The Smash franchise has become a tribute to gaming in general, and Smash Ultimate is probably the best tribute yet, a depth gameplay, amazing variety of music, modes and characters.

    No matter if you are just someone looking to have a good time or someone looking to start a eSports career, Smash is for you.

    This game is hell of a good time, controls are fun to play, we gotten Chacters we wanted in smash Bros like King k Rool, Isabelle, Richter. Even we gotten stages from old smash Bros which I like a lot. Spirits modes is a challenge for a story mode, this is just a great game and a must have on your switch and is the ultimate smash Bros, and will go on my favorite games of all time.

    Just a great fun game that I enjoy playing with my son. The addition of new characters to its huge roster is great and I few that this can be a game that lasts the entire lifespan of the switch as they add more content. They are also always balancing the game so no one character dominates online or when playing at home.

    One of the best fightinggames ever made. It offers the player sooo much content. You can play it at partys with items and a giant group, or super competetive in no item no hazard 1v1s. It has the most giant launch roster any fighting game ever had, and keeps adding to it with very reasonably priced DLC. This is pretty much a must have for switch-owners, and a reason to get the console for others.

    En una saga que no deja de mejorarse en cada juego, éste llega a cotas inimaginables en sus inicios. Los mejores personajes y música de las mejores sagas de videojuegos. Una jugabilidad única, profunda y adictiva, capaz de librar los combates más serios o los más locos y divertidos. Un enorme homenaje a una saga y al mundo de los videojuegos.

    It's Smash Brothers and it's the best one of the franchise. I agree that it is a "must-play."

    There are plenty of characters to choose from and for a Smash game it feels the most balanced yet. Lots of great levels to choose from. Adventure mode is fun. Online has it's quirks but it's very fun. So nice to be able to play with friends online.

Not to mention the amount of modes this game has, the spirit mode is the most underrated thing it’s idea and execution is done perfectly. It’s basically a collection of amazing characters from big or small franchises , you use them to assist you in battle and it makes the feeling of everyone is here even stronger which is genius. The adventure mode is perfect for smash bros, it has you go in a giant map and fight fighters spirits and sometimes a perfectly well made boss, the bosses are perfect all of them. Also the additional modes such as classic mode the spirit mode and more are so well made. The main mode the smash mode is perfectly executed, with a variety of new modes such as smash down and squad strike makes this game better by the second. The online works well yes the main mode “quick play” Isn’t the best, but I personally believe that battle arenas really really really make up for it. The most impressive addition by far is the amount of music tracks in this game, there is over 850+ music tracks WTF WHO CAN MANGE THAT! I seriously believe this game has so much love put into it and that’s something I proudly appreciate with my experience as a gamer and a reviewer. Super Smash Bros Ultimate deserves all the prays all the love and all the appreciation, it’s a game that must be taken as a celebration of video games and it keeps going with so many characters stages music tracks modes quality of life improvements and most importantly the love that was put into this game not to mention we are getting even more stuff in the future which is insanely amazing, I strongly believe Super Smash Bros Ultimate Is The Greatest Video Game Ever Made And I’m gonna give it a new ranking because I personally believe this game is perfect!

Each character brings it's own unique flavor to battles, with strengths and weaknesses. This has the best roster balance out of any Smash game, making every character feel viable in their own sense. The speed of fights are just right, feeling like anyone can pick it up, yet still allowing the competitive scene to go absolutely nuts with it. Spirits are a cool concept that you can have some fun with, yet feel like they can easily be sidelined. World of Light and the Online mode have some legitimate problems. World of Light is a cool collection of specialized fights around certain characters, but is very repetitive and doesn't have very much payoff in the end. NIntendo doesn't understand what makes good online. The entire experience feels like everything is delayed, making it slower than normal, not to mention the freeze-ups if one of the players has sub-par internet. However, to me, a 10/10 doesn't mean a perfect game, though it will be amazing. A game can receive a 10/10 from me depending on what it represents. The lineage of this series, combined with what this game coming out means to me, combined with the amazing memories it has given me, means it clearly deserves a perfect score, even with a few problems that barely detract from the core experience.… Expand

    Super Smash Bros. is a gift for gamers! This amazing game series is a unique fighting game that features our fav video game characters! And Ultimate is the best fighting game I have ever played!

And Ultimate is the best fighting game I have ever played! This game has our fav Nintendo characters like Mario, Link, Samus, Pikachu, Donkey Kong and more and third party characters like Sonic, Pac-man, Solid Snake, Ryu, Cloud and more. Also third party DLC characters like Joker, Hero, Banjo and Kazoiee, Terry and more to come! This game has an amazing and unique gameplay. Controls are easy to learn and use so this game is faster than the other fighting games. One of the best thing this game does is it can be competitive and casual at the same time! Like I said it's easy to play but you can main a character and learn how to play him for competitive play and his/her combos and his/her strategies! This game is super fun and has more than 70 characters featuring every character from the past Smash games! All the characters are different from each other. There are a lot of ways to win. İnstead of fighting your oppenent till his health bar is gone, you have to launch him out of the stage! İnstead of a health bar it shows how much damage have the characters took! More damage means that they will fly more when they take a hit! So you have to fight the oppenent and do combos and be strategic and kill him with a strong hit or you can kill him with a spike that kills the oppenent at a low percent with launching them down and is special for some characters or you can kill with critical hit which is special for some characters too or you can kill with your special that gets actived when your smash meter is full but it is optional! This game also has modes like super fun adventure mode, classic mode and a lot more! And there is online which is the most fun part out of the game but it doesn't really work that good. İt is fun but could have been so much better and hope they will fix it but this still doesn't change the fact that how amazing this masterpiece is! İf you love Nintendo and love or hate fighting games you will love this game!… Expand

    Without a doubt, the best in the saga, the most complete, endless series of characters, movements, objects, settings, soundtracks, and the best technically. Very important game in the competitive scene of fighting games. A masterpiece and in my opinion the forgotten goty of 2019. 100% essential.

There's load of combos and button patterns to learn, and this is certainly the most balanced Smash Bros game. My only real complain is the online experience, but here's a tip. If you go to your internet settings on the Nintendo Switch, set your MTU (maximum transmission unit) to 1,500. It'll really smoothen out your online experience and you should likely experience less framerate issues.… Expand

    The fact that Mr. Sakurai started the series on the N64 really goes to show how far the series has come.

I love that they put some effort on the story mode, it's not a mortal kombat 9 type story, but it is a decent rpg type story that have's a unique, original, and weird rpg mechanic. And the amount of characters in this game is overwhelming. And you can also create your own arenas to fight, this game is AWESOME!!!. Please buy this game NOW!!!!!.
