Version 5.0 of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was released today which includes multiple updates, including the addition of Bango & Kazooie as a playable character.

Starting today, Banjo & Kazooie from the popular Banjo-Kazooie series of games are joining Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. The new fighters are part of the third Challenger Pack DLC. In addition to the characters, players will also get to enjoy the Spiral Mountain stage, as well as music tracks from the classic games.

Also added as part of the update includes additional Mii Fighter Costumes added and a new “Home-Run Contest” mode. Special moves of Mii Fighters downloaded via the Shared Content feature are now customizable.

We also got the announement of another new DLC character for Challenger Pack #4 — Terry Bogard. Releasing in November, Terry Bogard from the classic SNK fighting franchise Fatal Fury joins Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a playable fighter. Terry Bogard is part of the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighters Pass, which includes five Challenger Packs as they are released, each with one DLC fighter, one stage and multiple music tracks.

It was also announced that even more DLC fighters beyond the five challenger packs are being developed.

One of the new Mii fighters costumers comes from Mysical Ninja starring Goemon. The Goemon costume is for the Swordfighter themed Mii. Mega Man is also represeneted with a Mii Fighter costume with Proto Man added to the Gunner Mii fighter. From MegaMan X (which was just announced in a collection from Capcom for later this year) comes Zero as another Swordfighter. Team Rocket from Pokémon is also represented for Brawler type Mii Fighters. They’re donning their black, grey, and red costumes. Representing some Nindies is Undertale with Sans (Gunner).

Mii Fighter costumes run about 99 cents and aren’t included in the Fighters Pass.

The Fighters Pass can be purchased at a suggested retail price of $24.99, with individual Challenge Packs available for $5.99 each.

Check Out The First Hour of Super Smash Bros Ultimate’s World of Light

Posted on December 7, 2018 by Rae Michelle Richards

Today is the release of Super Smash Bros Ultimate for the Nintendo Switch! The last major release from Nintendo for the year crams in every playable character from previous entries of Smash, a roster of new challengers like Simon Belmont (Castlevania), K-Rool and most importantly an all-new single-player experience called The World of Light. Long time Smash fans might remember that after the cutscenes for Brawl were posted online before release, Project SORA decided to omit a traditional single-player campaign from Super Smash Bros for Wii U and 3DS.

2018’s Ultimate marks the return of Single Player and earlier today Kelesti and I streamed the first hour of The World of Light on Twitch. Watch below as we guide the happiest puffball, Kirby, through the opening of this epic quest.  Reportedly WOL takes approximately between 20 – 30 hours to complete – and of course, you can unlock a good chunk of the 70+ fighters by completing the single-player campaign. WOL also included RPG elements in the form of “spirits” which can be upgraded and grant the player unique bonuses. With spirits from across the various eras of Nintendo and all of the 3rd party games – there is a lot to collect.

Watch the first hour below:

Isabelle Pencils In Time To Join Super Smash Bros Ultimate

Posted on September 14, 2018 by Rae Michelle Richards

Surprise! The fan favorite mayoral assistant, Isabelle, from the Animal Crossing franchise is joining Nintendo’s upcoming Super Smash Bros Ulitmate. Her reveal footage actually starts off like an actual Animal Crossing game – misdirecting fans to think that they were actually watching the reveal trailer for a brand new entry in the series.  It is only once she receives an official letter asking her to join the grand melee is it obvious that she is the latest newcomer.

Isabelle is not an echo fighter (direct clone) of the already existing Animal Crossing Villager, but the pair do share a few moves between them. Watch in this 30 second video above as she uses a bug net to swat at opponents, captures Luigi with a fishing rod and most importantly builds an entire city hall for her final smash.

Needless to say the internet absolutely adores her and will do everything they can to protect her. From her previous appearance as an Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros For Nintendo 3DS, to racing in Super Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Isabelle has been making the rounds in Nintendo crossovers for awhile. It’s nice to see her take a break from all of that civic work and find time to kick some butt!

E3 2018: All in: every fighter returning for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate; releasing in December

Posted on June 12, 2018 by Jason Nason

Nintendo opened its activities for E3 2018 with a smash. The anchor for the Nintendo Direct was new information about the upcoming Smash title, which has a name – Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Showing world-first footage of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Nintendo shared details about the latest entry in the series. A new game built for the Nintendo Switch system, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate lets up to eight players square off in action-packed battles that are all about smashing beloved video game characters off the screen.

“At E3, we’re showing how Nintendo Switch continues to redefine play, with the broadest range of games people can enjoy together anytime, anywhere,” said Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America’s President and COO. “Fans who’ve debated which Super Smash Bros. fighter is the best now have the chance to settle their differences once and for all, pitting familiar faces against fresh challengers on stages both new and old.”

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will include every single fighter ever featured in the series’ nearly two-decade run, making it one of the biggest crossover events in gaming history. Fans can enjoy returning favorites like Ice Climbers and Pokémon Trainer, as well as newly announced fighters like Ridley from the Metroid series and Inkling from the Splatoon series. The game supports a variety of controller options, including Nintendo GameCube controllers (original or newly designed), Joy-Con controllers or the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. With Nintendo Switch, players can throw down whenever and wherever they like in Handheld or Tabletop mode while enjoying online play.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate combines many stages and new items, with gameplay that makes it easy for players of all skill levels to jump in. All current Super Smash Bros. series amiibo figures are compatible with the game, and any fighter’s amiibo figure from other series will also be supported.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is set to launch on December 7th, exclusively for Nintendo Switch.
