    This is easily the best smash game, maybe since melee, maybe ever. One thing if for sure, it is definitely worth the money to pick up this exciting clash of gaming icons.

    I rate the game a 9/10 but will cast a 10 in a feeble attempt to counter the ridiculous goose eggs that always manage to plague rating systems. 10's are just a ridiculous but when you have a genuinely good game its the 0's that impact the most.

    My experience with the smash universe is limited to SSB4 and now this installment. So far it seems to be a wonderful improvement. Sound, Graphics, Artwork and overall game play and features are wonderful to interact with. Only unlocked half of the characters and looking forward to hours and hours of casual and competitive action!    … Expand

    Best smash game so far. If you have enjoyed the previous entries you will definitely enjoy this one. It does a great job of balancing the game so both casual and competitive players will enjoy it. With over 70 characters and over 100 stages there is enough content that you can stay occupied for hours on end. Overall, I am very impressed with this game and it is definitely worth a purchase.

    The best smash bros game so far, combines everything for casual and competitive game. Without a doubt this is the best work of Sakurai. amazing amount of content and a vast diverse array of fighters, modes and trophy/collections! Ultimate takes a superb game to new level with so much content that is near to impossible to try all there is included in it.

    Great game!!! As pessoas que estão reclamando em sua maioria nem jogaram, ou simplesmente estão decepcionado com algo que queriam, tem seu defeitos porém, analisando como qualidade de jogo e pela diversão que proporciona, é nota 10 mesmo.

    It is a different smash, the gameplay changed but it is very well.
    I love the everyone is here, plus the 6 new DLC (one for free)
    For online i love the part they added stocks.
    I love spirits and adventure mode
    What i miss is event match (one of my favorites mode) plus i wanted Issac and Skull kid but oh well it does deserved a better rate than Brawl

    All these fake 0 scores from people who probably do not have the game or just haters. Coincidence that these accounts have given specific 3 games of Pokemon lets go 0 as well while not reviewing any other games?

    This game is beautiful. So much fun to be had. I can't wait to play more of it. A must have for any smash fan. Only complaint is that it takes awhile to get characters but that's cause of the sheer amount of characters to find.

    This game honors it's predecessors ever since the smash bros for 64 beautifully! From the wide arsenal of 74 plus characters to over 100 stages there is just endless content for everyone. The new spirit mode and classic mode ensures that the single player mode is complex as well.

    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

    This really is the ultimate Smash Bros. game. It is a love letter to Nintendo, the series itself, and gaming as a whole. Every single aspect has been painstakingly crafted with love and an extreme attention to detail. The amount of content is mind boggling.

    Smash Ultimate is really the ultimate game in the Super Smash Bros. series.
    The game builds upon its predecessor, while improving the content and gameplay in nearly every aspect. While the amount of completly new characters isn't as big as in previous games, it brings back every fighter from every previous Smash game. Sure, characters like Chrom and Ken are only Echo fighters, but every    Smash Ultimate is really the ultimate game in the Super Smash Bros. series.

    My sister, girlfriend, and I have been playing all day and loving it. Only having eight characters at first has been really fun. It's more engaging to unlock the characters just by playing longer.

    The graphics are amazing, full of stuff to do, world of light its really fun but honestly gets a little boring over time (If you play for like an hour, stop and play again it won't feel as repetitive as it would). The controls are really nice, soundtrack is phenomenal, my minor issue with this game is the launch speed, its so easy to knock someone and also really easy to be beaten.

Spirits are kind of confusing at first. besides that everything is perfect.

    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!
