Professional reviews from gaming critics
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is ultimate in every sense of the word. World of Light is fantastic, Challenge Mode is satisfying and there's so much love and detail in absolutely everything in the game. Whilst having 60+ characters and 100+ stages sounds overwhelming, it's the perfect celebration of everything Nintendo and will be hard to top going forward.
It’s no secret that I have been rather critical of many of Nintendo’s first party releases in 2018, mainly due to the slate of Wii-U titles that were
When it comes to Smash Bros., a series with a long history, this Ultimate version packs a lot of the past into one game. By way of overview, when Smash came ont
The sum of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s parts is nothing short of excellent. From single-player to local multiplayer, there are very few flaws with the experience. Whether you’re hoarding spirits in World of Light, spiking your friends in a versus match of Smashdown, or running through Classic mode with your favorite fighter, there is no shortage of smart, creative action to be had. That said, in a game so well assembled, its lackluster online portion stands out even more starkly. However, when taking Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a whole, that one blight does little to diminish the overall ma...
Super Smash Bros Ultimate is just as the name suggests, the Ultimate Smash experience. All the characters and stages have returned. A better balance across all 74 playable characters. Returning single player game modes as well as a whole new story mode that merges Super Smash with RPG elements. This is a game that you'll want to play with friends on the big screen, or on your own anywhere.
Everyone is here, for good.There's no greater celebration of video game history than Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Featuring characters, stages, and items [...]
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate offers near-endless replayability, and thanks to the sheer amount of content, it's easy to recommend to just about anyone with a Nintendo Switch. Really the only thing holding it back is its lackluster online functionality, but if Nintendo manages to iron out those issues, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate may very well be the best game in the series to date.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate beautifully tows the line of accessibility for casual players and depth for the hardcore fans. One thing I have always loved about Nintendo is its dedication to the art, and to creativity as a whole. Good or bad, I’m always excited to see what comes next from them. As Super Smash Bros. Ultimate grows and the new characters arrive, I’ll be back on the battlefield for another round. When you have something that people want, it’s hard to balance pushing the envelope with maintaining the foundation. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is a prime example of how you push forward in...
The stuff of legends, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is everything we've ever wanted from a Super Smash game and more.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is the ultimate celebration of Nintendo and its gaming history, pitting characters from their myriad franchises against each other in frantic yet fun battles.
Between Joker, Mementos, Stage Builder, and Shared Content, the 3.0.0 update is the most excited I’ve been about Super Smash Bros. Ultimate since launch. Tools to create and share user-crafted content are always my favorite features in any video game, and Joker is the perfect realization of both a beloved series and a unique and fun fighter. The Stage Builder alone could add hours of new experiences to Ultimate, and I’m incredibly excited to see what features and characters are still to come before all five new challengers have been released by February of next year.
On a much higher note, the visuals and music in Ultimate are consistently gorgeous. There are lots of new remixes from all across the roster, alongside pretty much every remix from past Smash Bros. titles. Character models are stages are more detailed than ever before, and retro stages have been entirely remade in glorious HD. There are tons of little details in each stage, from classic Castlevania enemies roaming the halls of Dracula’s castle to Earthbound flashbacks in the skies of Magicant. Details like these are part of what makes crossovers feel so special for fans of each series, and the...
