A:AnswerI called their Digital Library customer support to ask if we will be able to preload the game. Their "codemaster" said that it depends if Nintendo gives them the codes early. If they do get them, then yes we can preload, as that is a service BestBuy highlights for reasons to purchase digital. However, it is case by case per title. So they recommended to call them again closer to the launch (the week of, or a few days before) to see if they will get the Nintendo codes in time.
A:AnswerBest Buy does not typically give you the code until launch day. While Nintendo will likely allow digital purchasers to pre-install the game, that will not be the case if you buy the code from Best Buy, unless they have changed their policies. Last time I pre-ordered digitally from BB I did not get the code until around noon of launch day...
A:AnswerNo it does not. Super smash for the Wii U that came
with the gamecube adapter and gamecube controller was a limited edition bundle for $99.99 before tax.
A:AnswerSuggest never purchasing download codes online, rather going to store. Best Buy need to step game up their game in sending the codes. They are not fast/quick enough as their competitors, yet.
A:AnswerYes, it is perfect for a single player. If you want to play it with multiple people you will need multiple controllers and it will become hard to see on the switch lite screen.
A:AnswerIf he already has a Nintendo Switch, Fortnite is available for free on the Nintendo Switch as well. As far as whether Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is worth it, if he enjoys Nintendo games, he will probably enjoy Super Smash Bros. Ultimate—I certainly enjoyed playing the early Super Smash Bros. games when I was younger, but that was largely because it had so many characters I knew, like Mario, Bowser, and Pikachu. And with Ultimate's cartoony style of violence, it is no more—arguably less—violent than Fortnite, if that is a concern.
Super Smash Bros. also has a low skill floor (easy to pick up if you haven't played before) and high skill ceiling (even if you have played for a while, there are a lot of advanced techniques to learn and practice), so if it is a game he enjoys, he should get a lot of playtime out of it. Plus it is a great party game, if he often plays video games with friends.
