    Great game with variability of characters and many scenarios and content, it is worth playing with friends locally, you have a more profitable experience for the quality as it is presented.

    This brand-new fighting game is garbage since you can't play as huggy wuggy and there aren't 90 playable characters in this game. The game was super rushed and low-budget don't buy it please.

    Truly the Ultimate version. I've logged 500+ hours into this game. Crazy huge roster list, stages, music. Online play can be laggy, but still fun. Well balanced and tons of fun.

    Ther is a reason why they decided to call this smash "ultimate". it has the biggest and most varied roaster, amazing gameplay and also very fun singeplayer side activities. This is THE smash bros game which can be enjoyed by hard core veterans as well as new players (easy to learn hard to master).

    This is the greatest fighting game of all time. Ultimate has enough content to make any video game fan smile. Even with its lackluster story mode, highly requested characters like Sora, Banjo and Steve make the game one of the greatest experiences on the switch.

    Very fun both competitively and casually. I love the new characters added like Steve, Sora, and Ritcher. I love the characters and seeing them beat the **** outta each other in weird settings like space, yarn world, and in someone’s backyard. Easily the best switch game.

    This game did not need to go as hard as it did. The game play, music, detail, fun references to past games, they are all here. Heck they even let you listen to all the voices in the game (even the announcer). Highly recommend giving this game a shot.

    No soy fanático de los Smash, me dio muy buenos momentos y es divertido. Es un obligado de la generación. No le doy una nota más alta porque en lo personal no se la doy, eso es todo. Pero no tengo quejas ni nada, es un juego redondo al que le he dedicado más de 220 horas.

    This platform fighter is the best out there, I am so impressed on everything the Smash bros team was able to do with this game. If you haven’t played you need to, the roster is great, the stage selection phenomenal, and all the little details, tons of game modes, and super long story mode, thus game is just about perfect

    I think if they make another smash game like this one it would only be worse than this.

    Then, Fighters Pass #1 came around, including Joker from Persona 5, Hero from Dragon Quest, the fan-favorite Banjo and Kazooie, Terry Bogard, and finally, Byleth.
    Then we got even more fighters in Fighters Pass 2#. Min Min from ARMS, Steve from Minecraft (No, we aren't joking!), Sephiroth from Final Fantasy 7, Pyra and Mythra from Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Kazuya from Tekken, and finally... Sora from Kingdom Hearts.

    One of the best super smash or maybe the best!

    The only 2 flaws i see are 1.that the world of light is not even 10% as good as subspace emissary
    2.The online is thrash

    Smash Ultimate is the king of fighting hits like Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter, and I feel like it’s a HUGE improvement to Smash 4, because of new fighters, great gameplay, and the amazing World of Light story.

    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!
