    No soy un gran fan de la saga. Es más, solo había jugado previamente al Smash Bros Brawl de Wii (el cual me encantó) y he de decir que este smash ultímate lo tiene todo: variedad de modos de juego para todos los gustos, campaña original, libre y con multitud de sorpresas, descomunal plantel de personajes jugables cada uno de ellos con su estilo único.

    Un juego con infinitas sorpresas, desbloqueables, progresión... Es, sin duda, un claro ejemplo de juego 10.
    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

    9.5. If you're a fan of the series, there's really nothing not to like here. SSB Ultimate is like a Smash Bros. anthology. There's a staggering amount of content, and you really get the feeling that Nintendo crammed in every ounce they were able to into this game.

    Fake 0's from people that havent even played.

    This is 100 percent the definitive smash experience. I havent been able to stop playing since picking it up. Best smash game since melee, so much content, charming and beautiful graphics, everything you expect from smash.

    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.

It's brimming with content out the wazoo, it's got enough in it to feel like a museum not only of Smash, but to gaming in general, it makes a series that's essentially a love-letter to the medium feel like a wedding to video games, the gameplay feels like a perfect balance between what made "Super Smash Bros. for Wii U" a great casual game and "Super Smash Bros. Melee" a technical fighting game, it's got a really compelling and exciting story mode, it feels as though there is almost nothing the game doesn't have (except for a cake, $1,000,000 and an all-expenses paid vacation to Nintendo's headquarters but, I mean, beggars can't be choosers there). Only time will tell if this will eclipse "Melee" as my favorite "Smash Bros." game (or if it will eclipse "Super Mario Odyssey" as my favorite video game), but regardless, "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate" is a wonder to behold, and it's a game every Switch owner should have in their collection.

    A billion characters, tons of game modes, single-player content, multi-player content, RPG content, casual content, hardcore content... it's everything you can and should expect from one of the premiere franchises of Nintendo.

    On top of all that, there are so many modes to play and you could sit on it for hours with the biggest smile on your face. I know from experience.

    Smash... with all the characters.... what more could you ask for? More personalization? Check. You can save different game settings and change stage elements to jump straight into smash faster.
    Spirit Mode... I played all the way through.... and boy was it unnecessarily long. Like really long. The kind of I think Im done.... now I think Im done... am I done kind of long. Never the less I found it enjoyable. It gave a lot of grind to the game. Something that made me feel I really got a lot of value out of the game.

    This is the game of the year. So many games for this price tag have only a small fraction of content this game has. It has been a long, loong time since I found a game with so much enjoyable content in it. Even at full price you get a lot of bang for your buck. Best game for the switch right now, hands down.

    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

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

    If you are looking for a fighting game that isn't 100% about "serious fighting" (BandaiNamco, Koei, and Capcom are in charge of that, and I guess Warner Bros., too these days), but a fighting game that has more features than any other fighting game (yes, even more than Mortal Kombat X with its gimmicky faction war), then look no further.

    I was expecting a rehash of the Wii U version, you know, with maybe a couple of features, just like Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon 2. I was thinking, I'm sure they'll add more stuff as DLC.

    No, guys. Nintendo has brought it all in, in a $60 package. Everything is already here, and as they said, "Everyone is here!" It is insane the amount of content this game has, especially when one thinks about how other companies handle content these days. And even with all that, there are 5 more committed DLC packages to be released for the next few months, each bringing one new fighter, as well as other smaller items.

    I wanted this to be a spoiler free review, mostly because I truly appreciate the developers and companies that, in their own way, fight back these megagiants who continue ripping us off with microtransactions and ridiculous disc-locked content. And I appreciate this game as much as I appreciate something indie, like Stardew Valley, Dead Cells, and Into the Breach (with all their content at their respective base prices), and something not-so-indie, like Witcher 3 or the Disgaea series.

    Either way. If you enjoy these brawlers, this one won't disappoint... for like 4-5 years to come, or more, if you're into the "pro scene."    … Expand

The result is a game that has so much everything that not even the word everything can be compared to the amount of everything Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has. The best part about that is that they all feel ambitious to the point where it is impossible to determine where to start your journey. Nintendo has not only created the most enthusiastic and magnificent Super Smash Bros. game in history's namesake, but they have also managed to make it one of the greatest video games in whatever timeline you are living. I usually do not ask people to play games or watch movies as if I was forcing them to do it, but when you're talking about one of the biggest games of possibly all time, you know I have no choice and I will not resist such a game that deserves all the praise I can give it. Please look forward into getting this game and playing it especially if you do not have a Nintendo Switch.… Expand

    So far, I've only played World of Light and local multiplayer. Having a good time with this game and with all the unlocks happening all the time, you really feel like you are accomplishing something and getting better at the game. Single player alone is worth the price of admission so far. Some of the battles are way too easy, but some are very hard, which is just right.

    Cientos de horas para desbloquear todo el contenido que viene incluido, y cientos de horas de diversión con sus 74 luchadores todos ellos únicos y sus muchos modos de juego que harán que la experiencia sea muy enriquecedora.

    En mi caso los 3 primeros días de juego ya le he dedicado 30 horas y solo he podido desbloquear el plantel al completo, que puede parecer mucho, pero eso solo es una pequeña parte del juego aun me quedan mas de 1000 espíritus por lograr, y muchas horas en conseguir completar el modo árcade de cada uno de los personajes.

    No contentos con esto tenemos también el mítico modo Smash donde tendremos miles de combates con las reglas, objetos y personajes que queramos.

    En cuanto al apartado gráfico esta muy bien los efectos de iluminación y texturizados, sin caídas de FPS, gameplay fluido y con una gran profundidad que si queremos refinar al máximo nuestra habilidad podemos tardar literalmente años.

    El apartado sonoro es sublime, unos efectos muy cuidados y de gran calidad, y una banda sonora para recordad toda la vida con un opening impresionante que cuando lo escuchas te entran unas ganas tremendas de jugar.

    En conclusión, juegazo del genero de lucha, muchas horas de juego, un juego de los que marcan época.    … Expand

Nintendo could have simply ported Smash 4 with all the dlc, but instead they went a step further completely revamping the menus, bringing back old fighters alongside plenty of new ones, a story mode that makes unlocking characters way more enjoyable (although it may not be as interesting as subspace emissary in brawl) as well as plenty of new modes and improved online matchmaking.

All in all this game has so so so much more to offer compared to its previous entries from spirits mode (which is fun even if a bit repetitive) to the classic mode with exclusive paths for each 70+ characters some even having final bosses besides master hand and crazy hand. And the icing on the cake? This game has an amazingly balanced roster, for once In a smash game EVERY character is viable, except for one certain blue haired character with horrible recovery and genuinely no reason to play him instead of Roy. I really really like chrom as a character so I hope sakurai somehow fixes this because he’s the only character in this roster I’d consider unviable, it wouldn’t be hard either just change dancing blade to Ike’s side special I’m sure no ones gonna miss it that much and that could make him an even more unique echo. Well obviously sakurai isn’t gonna read this but hey I’ll hold out hope chrom will have his day in an update maybe, would changing a move be too much? I feel like it would be new and possibly unwelcome but I don’t think many people would mind if chrom happened to be the one exception, or he could just have like 3 jumps.

    When I first saw Ultimate, I have to admit I did wonder if it was a "deluxe" version of Sm4sh but once you have played it, you can really tell that it is its own game and while it builds on the past games Ultimate maintains its own style that plays differently compared to Melee or Sm4sh.

The Adventure Mode (World of Light) while sometimes tedious offers hours of gameplay and fun. Spirits replace trophies and there are over a thousand of them. While spirits are fun to collect the problem with them comes from their implementation into gameplay. There are special matches in the adventure mode and spirit board which have special rules (example: The stage is covered in fog or The enemy is metal) while these are fun and do add new things multiple of them that are meant to be difficult are ruined by the fact that the hazards can be completely removed by some spirits, and if they aren't removed they are extremely unfair and difficult. Mob smash and Classic Mode return and are loads of fun and very simple however they can get a bit dull due to the lack of differences when choosing different characters. The number of stages being over a hundred and the fact there are different variations of stages is incredible and there are only about three that I don't find enjoyable. Special smash is a timekiller and only adds bits of gameplay but is still nice to have have. Squad Strike is probably the most dull of the game modes as it doesn't really add much to the game. Another huge plus is the fact that multiple characters from multiple franchises get represented in Mii Costumes, Spirits, and Assist Trophies shows how much love and care is put into this game and how this is truly a celebration of gaming. The soundtrack is incredible and has over 900 songs ranging form new songs, songs from their original series, or songs from the previous Smash Bros games. Lastly of course the main attraction is the normal Smash mode where you can play solo or with up to eight players to have an all out brawl and it is fun and incredible as always and with the combat being so improved in this game it helps make it one of the greatest fighting games of all time. Overall this game is just amazing and a real system seller. I can't say enough good things about this game and I'm sure there are even some points that I missed.… Expand

    A visually stunning game that adds fresh new characters, stages, and a new story mode since Brawl! It is a blast to play, and it is a perfect treat for smash fans!

    This game is beautiful, polished but most importantly... it's fun. Tons of characters and they're all oddly balanced. (mostly) great stages and great songs. This really is the ultimate Smash Bros game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Un juego recomendado para Switch, la duración del modo aventura es bastante respetable siendo que en dos días ya tengo un total de 20 horas y apenas logre derrotar a Lumina (Spoiler: Hay otro Boss Con un mapa mas), lo que me pareció perfecto un punto negativo si acaso sería el cambio que hay entre el modo sub-spacial de Wii con este modo aunque personalmente prefiero este modo ante el de Wii entiendo que 4 cinemáticas podrá ser extremadamente poco pero todo eso se compenso enormemente con la inclusión de los espíritus siendo que entretiene muy bien, ademas de que incluye una gran cantidad de personajes, al igual de que se merece esa corona como el crossover mas importante de los videojuegos siendo que hasta en un personaje que unicamente ha aparecido en consolas de Sony entrara al juego como personaje DLC (Joker de Persona 5), PD: Se puede notar con facilidad esos 0 a solo juegos de Nintendo (siendo que incluso hacen multicuentas)… Expand

    Super smash bros ultimate is what every switch owner needs, Smash on the go makes this game a 10 within itself, 75 characters, hours of fun.

    Ya empezaron a llegar los "CEROS" de estos haters que no soportan que a Nintendo le vaya bien.

    I played Smash for about 150 hours now, so that should somewhat qualify me to give an opinion.
    For what it set out to do this game nails all the details. To be completely honest, It would be worth it for the music alone.

    74 characters in a fighting game is a tremendous amount of characters, even though a lot are very much alike, but with noticeable differences.
    The online mode is still underdeveloped and should have at least some more features and be less laggy.
    The campaign is a lot of fun, but only if you get all the references to all the games from the spirits.
    Multiplayer is great as always, with so much features it's **** ridiculous and the controlls are really tight. (except for the delay in online matches)
    It's a shame that a lot of modes aren't in the game like target practice or trophy rush, but the classic mode has been noticably improved and it's a cool thing that every character has their own theme for it.

    In conclusion, it is a very good game with noticable problems online (as always with games from Nintendo), but the sheer amount of music and replayability in multiplayer is pretty much unmatched. The classic mode and the other modes are somewhat meh, but still very good in comparison to a lot of the old smash games.

    Very enjoyable game highly recommended from me!    … Expand

    Amazing game, possibly the best Smash to date. Has every fighter and tons of content. The only thing to nitpick in this game is the lack of no Smash Run which was one of my most favorite modes in Smash 3DS.

    I may be fairly new to the franchise (starting and ending with Smash for 3DS before this game), but it does not take an expert to recognize an amazing game when he sees one. With a incredibly impressive roster exceeding 70 characters, an impressive stage count, and just how much love was put into it, this game warrants buying a Switch all on its own.

With a incredibly impressive roster exceeding 70 characters, an impressive stage count, and just how much love was put into it, this game warrants buying a Switch all on its own. Like all other Smash games, there is some magic seeing Link, Mario, and Pikachu duke it out in a platform fighter, and that magic is only amplified with the incredible graphics and movesets. While a few of the characters are just copies of others with minor changes, the roster is big enough that it should be impossible to complain. As for the single player content, World of Light is not meant for what many thought it was. If you try to sit down and just play through it, you are going to get bored. However, if you take it in bites and work your way through it, it will be an amazing experience. I have always wanted Skull Kid as a playable character in Smash, but I cannot be mad about him not making the cut because I get to use a spirit and play with him in that way! With well over 1,000 spirits, it is a guarantee that at least one of your favorite characters will be in Smash that way, and it is heartwarming to see.… Expand

    Smash Ultimate is the heart of all gaming. It not only celebrates Nintendo but gives everyone a chance to shine, from Mario to Simon Belmont from Castlevania to King K Rool the villain of the original DK games.

    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!
