Customer Ratings & Reviews

As I was preparing to write this piece, I thought to myself, “where do I start?” Super Smash Bros Ultimate is such a huge game, both considered as a stand-alone game and as the climax of an unlikely 20-year franchise. The original Smash Bros game on the Nintendo 64 was a hit, but it was nothing I ever expected a sequel for. It was the first game where Mario met Kirby and Pikachu, alongside other Nintendo characters and, possibly playing against type, they beat each other up. It was modest cartoony fun, and unlike any other fighting game that came before it. Now, after sequels on the Gamecube, Wii, and 3DS, the series has grown to have nearly every Nintendo character worth noting, plus several you’ve likely never heard of, PLUS characters from non-Nintendo games, like Snake from Metal Gear, Simon from Castlevania, Sonic the Hedgehog, and even Ryu and Ken, crossing over from the more traditional fighting game Street Fighter. The game currently has 77 characters, with at least 5 more promised to be released for download later - including the Piranha Plant from the Mario series. Every character that has ever appeared in a Smash Bros game is present in Ultimate, along with nearly every stage. Despite the casual pick-up-and-play nature of the game, the Smash Bros series are the most played Nintendo games at a competitive level. Smash is played at EVO, the largest fighting game competition in the world, as well as at smaller events year-round. The games were not initially designed for the competative scene, but Nintendo has since embraced its status, sponsoring Smash Bros championship series tournaments. I’m certainly not nearly good enough to participate in these sorts of tournaments, but holding a smaller-scale tournament with my friends and family over for the holidays is much more my speed, and can be a lot of fun. After all, we’ve all been growing up with Smash Bros.

This game provides hours of fun for me and my roommate! The depth of characters and difficulty of CPU boss battles makes this a worthwhile game that leaves you wanting to come back for more

Better than Smash 4, has all the characters and levels from past games. Works with Gamecube adapter. Worth the wait. Online could be better. You can only play 1 player on your switch in the battle arenas.

Incredibly fun, just as i remembered as a child. No my 7-year-old is obsessed.

My 7 year old daughter can't get enough of this game and has become so good she can beat most adults :)

Great version of super smash. I liked how they added the single player story. It can get repetitive at times but it is a fun party and single player game. If you like super smash I'd pick it up.

Over 70 Nintendo characters across many decades come to fight on Nintendo's most famous fighting game -- Super Smash Bros.! All audiences, casual or competitive, will enjoy this game without a doubt!

The breadth of content in this game is insane. The attention to detail, artwork and gameplay mechanics are fantastic. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for an amazing multiplayer experience.

In reality, the game is for my son. My son love the game and I enjoyed watching the characters fighting with unique special powers. Thie game is recommended to have fun for children and adults.

Fun game to play with friends and family!! Got it for my sons birthday.

This game went on sale, and then Best Buy also gave me a $10 off coupon. I saved $20, and I got a game I have been wanting. Just like when I was a kid.

The game was a massive upgrade and the huge amount of playable characters made my day. So glad they keep pouring more into it and expand an already amazing game.

An amazing game that unfortunately couldn’t get my hands earlier on. Great for singles and more people which makes it a great game for many people.

Kids play with friends and is the current "gotta have" game. Invest in controllers as needed. Do not half listen to your kids and walk in ask where to find Bang Brothers.

I recommend this game to anyone who loves playing vs friends. Fun playing with the family too and it has characters to choose from. Worth buying this game.

Excellent game, it comes with a lot of characters that you can select from but you will need to discover them

I've played all iterations and this one I'm playing competitively. It's a great game with over 75 characters after all the DLC. Good for all ages and it's great for competitive.

The game itself is very fun and full of adventure, the Children in my Familt couldn't get enough of it.

Thai is definitely the type of fighting game people can be introduced to if they've never played a fighting game before. Easy controls and loads of fun especially with friends.

This game is pure video game nostalgia in a well constructed package. The single player mode gets a bit repetitive, but it’s varied enough to keep you coming back for more.
