    A great fighting game that's easy to sink many hours into with friends, this game's only downfall is its seldom difficult control scheme.

    el juego de peleas en 2d con mas personajes, bandas sonoras y escenarios que hay. personajes de todos los gustos para quienes son fan de titulos de nintendo. se puede jugar con hasta 8 personas a la vez, se ve pulido y en modo tv se ve en excelente definicion.
    la unica cosa "mala" seria el modo aventura, es repetitivo y no tiene una historia en si, pero igual puede ser entretenido.

    Core mechanics is awesome, but online is the most trash i ever met in fighting games, you cannot even repick your hero to get matchup better, inputlags, gamelags etc. I do not recommend you to buy this game

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.

    I have to agree, this is the best Smash Bros game. But this doesn't completely replace the previous games.
    It doesn't have all of the stages. Some of them that are missing include Poke Floats, Planet Zebes, Sector Z, Mute City, Icicle Mountain, Rumble Falls, Rainbow Road, Pac Maze, Jungle Hijinxs, and Woolly World.

    The story modes from the past, like the Subspace Emissary, are gone, but I understand this not being here. The other maps though, no excuse.

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

    Intro: Oh man, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is one VideoGame for the history books.

    What is it: From the early roots of only around 12 Nintendo characters, Super Smash Bros. is a franchise that has become one of the most iconic titles out there. In Smash Bros. Ultimate, you start with only the main fighters from the original game. However, after you put some hours of smack down on your    Intro: Oh man, Super Smash Bros.

    What is it: From the early roots of only around 12 Nintendo characters, Super Smash Bros. is a franchise that has become one of the most iconic titles out there. In Smash Bros. Ultimate, you start with only the main fighters from the original game. However, after you put some hours of smack down on your opponents, you start to see your 7 fighter roster turn into 75 playable characters from game series like Super Mario, Pokemon, Zelda, Fire Emblem, and Kirby along with characters like Solid Snake from Metal Gear, Bayonetta from Bayonetta, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Cloud from Final Fantasy.

    The Good: The game feels pretty good with the controls. From my knowledge, you can play the game with a few different play styles like single Joycon, v-grip, handheld, pro controller, and the ever so popular Gamecube controller. Graphics wise, the game looks stunning and very clean. Character animations look great and really has no faults. As for content, well there is plenty for everyone. As I said before, the roster for this game is huge and will get even bigger once more characters from the season pass will come into play. There are over a hundred different stages from different franchises and along with it an amazing selection of soundtracks from different games and some tracks specifically for Smash Bros. There is also a full-fledged adventure mode known as The World of Light and includes Spirits, which are used to customize your favorite fighter so they can lay a bigger smackdown on your enemies. Plus, with the addition of stage switching, assist trophies, Pokeball items, final smashes, tournaments, and online play, yeah you have a lot to do in this game and a lot to look out for when you are smacking around someone playing Bowser using Pichu.

    The Bad: If there is one bad thing I could say about this game, it would be that online can be a little laggy at times. However, it's not that big of a deal because it could be just my internet or the weight of everyone playing online trying to rack up dog tags and get to be crowned the best fighter in Smash Bros.

    Final Thoughts: This game is worth your $60 dollars. With the large roster of characters, adventure mode, unlocking spirits, and online play, this game is a great addition to anyone's present list for the holidays and is great for anyone to pick up and hard to master. If you ever find me online in this game, let's make sure that fight will be a blast. Friend code for Switch: SW-4806-1035-6126    … Expand

Yet, the barrier for entry is not high, so even if ya wanna treat it like a party game, anyone can pick up a character and have fun.

    Which is a good thing considering just how big the roster is, I mean, they brought back every character from every previous games, and to this day they're still adding new fighters, even if the DLC is rather expensive. But at least some of them also add new stages and music, tho even if ya don't bother with the extra content, the base game already has a good selection of stages and an incredible soundtrack full of remixes and new tracks for pretty much every series present, that is just pure ear candy.

    Not sure if I can say the same for the visuals tho, they're kinda like a more gritty version of Smash Wii U's style, which kinda makes it seem like everything is covered in dust. Not a big deal, but I think the Wii U version still has the better aesthetics, but at least the new visual effects make up for it in some regard, plus the game runs like butter.

    All of the above aspects are pretty good, however, there are some problems I have with this game that prevent it from being better than Smash for Wii U overall. I am mostly referring to the single-player offerings. Sure, there are tons of characters and stages, but that's for the main smash mode. Everything surrounding it is really half-baked. Classic mode is the only worthwhile, long-term mode for single player, and to be fair, it's pretty good since now every character has a thematic variation of it and it will end in a different boss battle depending on the fighter you're using, like Master hand, Ganon, Dracula, etc.

    That's all well and good, however, the rest simply doesn't hold up. Sure, World of Light is amusing for the first 2 hours, but it quickly became mind-numbingly repetitive, as all you're doing is fighting over and over and over again. It doesn't even have a lot of cool cinematics like Brawl, and yet it's twice as long. It's clear a lot of time and care went into this mode, as every fight represents a spirit character from a certain franchise, and the map is beautifully crafted. I appreciate that, but it's just way too long, tedious and boring for it to hold any re-play value.

    And that's basically all the game really has to offer, no really. All-stars has been reduced to just another version of multi-man melee, instead of the strategic endurance round it used to be, on top of the other versions the game has, and rest is stage creator, sandbag and training mode.

    This is such a shame, considering this is a franchise that usually likes to pack its games with LOADS of content for the player who likes to play the game solo. Smash Wii U, alone, had Classic mode, All-stars, Master & Crazy orders, challenges to complete, Events which was basically mission mode, Smash Tour, playable NES and SNES games, Trophy collection, and all the other little modes like Stage Builder, Training, Stadium, etc. And on TOP of that, it also had custom moves and stat bonuses for amiibo.

    Ultimate simply doesn't compare. Its main smash mode is as great as ever, and now you can even do offline tourneys and make permanent rule sets, but besides classic mode that's it. There is no other incentive to go back to the game after sloughing through World of Light and unlocking all the characters unless you're really into fighting CPUs and doing all the challenges. Especially considering that the online is still pretty lacking.

    Sure, Smash shines most when it's a multiplayer game, but quite frankly, that goes for any game of that nature. And as someone who mostly plays Smash alone, I was left rather disappointed. And no, Spirit events are not enough, because spirits are just glorified stickers, I much prefer getting a trophy and being able to view it in all its glory. But of course, Ultimate doesn't even have trophies or custom moves outside of the Miis.

    Simply put, Smash Ultimate (or Special in Japan) doesn't live up to that title on the whole. It's still Smash Bros, it's still a blast to play with friends, or if ya like to fight lvl9 CPUs all day, but the complete package is far below what was set previously, on what I still think is the best Smash game of them all, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. A better roster doesn't make for a better game.    … Expand

    Initially, the gameplay feels incredible and more polished than ever, a lot of characters feel so different (except for the "echo" ones for obvious reasons) and in its massive roster, you'll mostly find at least one character that is suitable for your playstyle. Everything in this game is massive to the point that is overwhelming, you have a lot of stages, characters, music, options, etc. a lot of them are originally from past games but they're updated to the point that they feel fresh and new, also, the fact that they're adding a lot of content with the season pass it is just amazing.

    There are several game modes to play this game, there's a pseudo story mode which is serviceable but not as memorable like space emissary in Brawl, you can play classic modes and obviously multiplayer, also, an addition that I really like and I have spend hours on it, is that now you can set up the massive soundtrack to every stage of your liking, is not perfect but it's cool.

    Although I'm certain that this is the best Smash game to this point, it has also things that keep it from being a masterpiece, the bigger one might be its online play, from matchmaking to playing with friends, is quite bothersome, in matchmaking often you'll fight with rules that you didn't apply, for example, I like to play in final destination only, zero items, stock, etc. but at least 2/6 fights I'll play on battlefield with items or timer, it doesn't sound like a big issue but trust me it really is, I'm not criticizing anyone's playstyle but what I'm trying to say is that nobody wins. Another issue on matchmaking is that if you find someone that you want to fight over and over, your stucked with the character you choose, unlike in Smash 4 where you could switch between chars to make things more fun, it makes no sense. Its worth note that playing online with friends is also a hassle and it has its fair amount of issues but let's leave it at that.

    There are several nitpicks that maybe I'm the only one in this, as I told you, the roster is massive but you literally start with the original roster of 8 characters, and you have to unlock every one of them, they're not that hard to unlock mind you, but it keeps you from playing your mains for at least some hours, if this wasn't an all-star game I wouldn't have a problem with this, but its kind of pointless and frustrating to wait at times. Finally, I know that I'm alone in this one, but I liked a lot the customization mechanic of special moves they introduced in Smash 4, I know that they were banned in professional tournaments but from a semi-hardcore point of view, they added a lot of fun, I hope that they have a comeback of some sorts in the future or future entries.

    When all is said and done, and every character is at your disposal, be prepared to have an incredible time, especially when playing with friends locally or online (forgetting some issues there mind you). Smash Bros has this amazing quality that it doesn't matter that you're not great in fighting games, you'll certainly find a character or a playstyle you'll like the most in here and when you have that moment after an 8 player battle where you are the last one standing, it's truly glorious. Smash Bros Ultimate is a must for every Nintendo Switch owner, period, even when I have problems with it, they feel so minimal in comparison to its positive things.    … Expand

    Has a solid story mode called 'World of Light' that will be at least 60 hours or so of game play tasks. This game is for the casual and the competitive player. It's also one of the few games that is able to go up to 8 players couch gaming style. That means 8 players physically in the same room playing together.

    Great game; I love the smash bros series. Awesome character designs too, they want certain characters are portrayed and implemented into the game. Though I don't think it was intelligent to swap 4 player smash and 1 on 1 smash every 2 days online. There could be better game modes as the adventure mode wasn't very exciting. Brawl executed that well.

    The only impressive part of this game is the balance and the roster. I'll give them that though, That's why it isn't a 0.
    The design of most characters is laughable. Characters like Ganondorf and Zelda are exceptions rather than the rule. Falco is awfully made, Ike feels like a lightweight, even Ganondorf isn't great considering how little they use from his home games.

    The competitive game modes online are the worst ones ever created. Smash 4 was notorious, this is infuriating. Overwatch does a better job with competitive game modes. OVERWATCH.
    I won't be fully negative, the roster is commendable and the balance is impressive. But when the best arguments are "everyone is too strong and there's a lotta people," that isn't a good sign.
    The DLC is also obnoxious. Not the worst in the world, but they basically force you to pay for characters that many games would call an "update." And they make sure to ignore everything the fanbase WANTS and give a character nobody wanted.
    The design of most characters is very bad. Too much spacing, too much projectile. The fast pace of the game makes it so some characters who WOULD be sick and impressive, but it's just irritating (Fox, falco).

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!

    Smash has been around since the N64. It started as a simple party game and by a happy accident became one of the premier fighting games in the competitive scene regularly scene at tournaments like EVO.

    But what is Smash? Is it a party game? Is it a fighting game? It's both. It's whatever you want it to be. There are so many options to tailor the experience to how you want to play it's amazing.

    Let's start with the roster. Any fighting game worth it's salt has to have an interesting roster right? Smash is no different and it absolutely delivers. It has brought every character back including those like Solid Snake and Ice Climbers. The sheer work it must have taken for licensing to make this happening must have been incredible.

    Initially I was disappointed that trophies were cut as well as home run contest. In the place of trophies we got spirits. They are ok but I miss reading the little bits of information about the history of the cool stuff.

    We also got a new addition in the form of world of light which is like a new adventure mode and it's pretty massive. I found it incredibly enjoyable.

    Home Run contest has since been added back in along with stage editor/creators. In addition they have continued to support the game via a fighter pass.

    In addition to returning characters from Smash 4 like Cloud, Bayonetta and more as well as newcomers like K. Rool and Ridley? The fighter pass has seen the addition of Joker, Hero, Banjo, Terry, and Byleth.

    So what do I not like about Smash Ultimate? Well I didn't like the changes made to Link. I wasn't all that fond of Breath of the Wild for starters so I really lamented the loss of things like a hook shot.

    That being said there is so much other content on offer that even if someone finds that they no longer like the way a character plays? They can generally find something in the 50+ character that should speak to them.

    The online is still as bad as it always was though, only now you have to pay for Switch Online.

    An ode to video games and a super well balanced competitive fighting game, all at once.
    What fighting game has players sinking in 200+ hours in its 1-player mode?
    This game has tons and tons of solo play replayability and multiplayer fun to be had.

    A amazing game. Straight up fun and engaging, with a nice multiplayer (which the online could be better, but...) and nice gameplay. For a big fan of the series, this could be the best Smash in terms of content, but still its not the best Smash in terms of new things added for a sequel.
    You must play it if you have a Switch.

    This game is complete garbage. Should still be in development tbh. Game is extremely unresponsive both online and offline even with perfect connection. Buffer system is terrible, the game decides to switch out your inputs for other ones, and will buffer actions from like 5 seconds earlier. If you want to play even remotely competitive, just go grab a copy of melee. This is easily the worstThis game is complete garbage. Should still be in development tbh.

    One of the best fighting games ever made. There's so much to unlock, it's crazy. I love it.

    The world of light mode can be a bit of a grind at times, but it's still fun to play it.

    The "ultimate" Smash Bros game with the biggest and best cast of 1st party and 3rd party characters. The only criticism is that the online sucks and doesn't feel as good as Melee

    Uno de los mejores videojuegos q la switch tiene para ofreser y este es de todos el más repleto de contenido. Desde escenarios, personajes, modos de juego, en fin un juego completo y q cada día se pone mucho mejor con cada actualización. Un juego perfecto, excepto por el modo historia q es bastante meh, pero por todo lo otro q hace creo q el juego se sigue mereciendo un 10 sin duda alguna

    Truly a masterpiece. The best of its series by a long shot. Supreme cast of characters, almost infinite re-playability and a dedication by Sakurai's team that's just enormous. Constantly updated and always fresh. Pick it up if you have a Switch, truly a must-play!

    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.

    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.

    I've been through all the franchise games and no doubt this smash is the best fighting game ever. Super complete game, all character, all scenery, giant content with items and cool appearances from other games. New characters are just beyond the border of other consoles.

    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!
