Customer Ratings & Reviews

The developers of this game have put their heart and soul into making this game one of the best entries so far in the series. The best part of the game is the adventure mode because of how the developers thought of adapting playable fighters into characters from other series. There's a lot of customization options given to the players for so many styles of gameplay. So recreating the same concept on local player battles can be a great way to keep the battling different and interesting.

"Super Smash Bros. Ultimate" is a game worth its namesake–it truly is ultimate! For those new to the series, this is a 2D action/fighting game with over 70 characters spanning across several companies' franchises: Nintendo, Sega, Square/Enix, Capcom, Konami, Wayforward, and a ton of different stages to boot. Seriously, the developers spared no expense on this one. In addition to the standard Classic, Smash, and Mob Smash modes, we also get a story mode called Spirits. Spirits mode is basically a way to stretch the basic game further by adding special ability cards to the mix; you unlock them by fighting single-player matches across an overworld that looks not unlike that of Super Mario World or A Link To The Past. The only flaw to Smash Bros. Ultimate may be that there are TOO MANY characters. It takes a considerable amount of time to unlock them all, which is fine, but there are just a few too many different iterations of characters (there are 2 versions of Pit, Samus, and Mario...and 3 versions of Link!). Overall, it's a labor of love for video games in general–and not just those made by Nintendo. There's surprising cameos and remixed classic tunes waiting around every corner. Definitely another must-have for the Switch! NOTE: I recommend the Gamecube or Switch Pro controller for this one...it's kind of hard to press specific directions on command with the standard Joycon sticks.

I used to love the first smash brothers and now I get to give my son a chance on liking it too.

Smash is back and more characters than ever. Tons of game modes, online play, and over 50 characters!

Good diversity in characters from other Nintendo games. Good mechanics. Lots of gameplay. Would recommend.

This is a beloved fighting game, but I prefer it as a game to play the heck out of when friends are over (still a fighting game but I don't do the online competitive part of it). The adventure mode is great all by itself and can easily take 20-30 hours to complete (longer than most game story modes nowadays), which doesn't include time you can spend in classic mode or in Vs. mode with friends. Overall, great game that could easily be considered the greatest crossover game series.

This remastered game of original super smash bros. is a fun, multi-player game with new characters.

Bought this game as Christmas gift for my 7 and 9 year old grandsons. They sent me a picture of the them opening the game. Later they followed up with a call to let me know how great the game was. My son called two days after Christmas and said they had been playing this Super Smash Bro’s. Game exclusively even though they received other games for Christmas. They received the switch last year and are very proficient in playing it. Great gift!

It truly is the greatest game of all time in the series. I’ve played Smash since 64 and loved every installment since (except brawl). Not saying that Ultimate is perfect there are a few mechanical things Sakurai needs to fix like online, hit boxes, and techs/air dodging. That’ll hopefully will be fixed with patches. I just appreciate all the love and care Sakurai put into this game and series, and overall I am happy and extremely satisfied with the result. #ThankYouSakurai

Good game, the best price and incredible service thanks

My son wanted this game and when he got it, he couldn't stop playing. He has been waiting for the new Switch version of the game. He see's his Dad with his games and they both share the love of playing video games together and teaches him things he's learned when he was growing up playing games with his siblings. Our son loves all the old school games and is learning how to collect memorabilia.

I bought this game for my 9 yr old grandson. He loves it

Has ALL the characters and ALL the fun you have come to expect from Smash. 8 player brawls are awesomely chaotic!

Great Game! Good graphics and fairly easy to play… some of the backgrounds are tough so picking the right character helps to see them easier.

It's the greatest love letter to gaming yet. Amazing multiplayer gameplay and fun single player campaign. Keep in mind that the online is NOT perfect, some lag and a clunky matchmaking system is the largest flaw this game has. That being said, it doesn't ruin the online experience altogether like some may suggest, it's just below average and not up to par with the quality you'll find in the rest of the game. Overall, recommended for all gamers, regardless of age.

Reminds me of the old Mario games. I’ve been playing it nonstop since I first opened it. Endless hours of fun

It’s a fun game, I’m adult man but I like playing games for relaxing, that’s why I love Nintendo and other games because in this game everybody fights!

If you're a Smash Bros. fan, this is a must-have. It's essentially a button mashing party/fighting game that's more fun with friends but has some decent single player modes. Unlocking all of the characters starting with 8 to start is a bit annoying though. It's a AAA title though on the Switch.

this game has all the characters every single character that has been in the smash Bros series that have joined just for one installment is in this game. you can still create your Mii characters there is a training mode. all the music is there, every stage that has been in every smash Bros is there. that being said there are a couple of things that people might be missing, for one thing there is no target practice, break the targets, there is no land on the platform, there is no home-run contest. there's little-to-no story, story mode, was, I would say "hey" a nostalgia coaster of old characters you've seen from old installments but they're just stickers that don't add anything to the story they're just there, you don't see any actions between characters. if you seen the opening video where Kirby survives you basically seen 95% of all the videos and the game. it's it's underwhelming. the story... it's pretty bad. for some reason the Wii smash Bros added a very good story there was lots of interactions between the characters but after that installment they've never went back to that concept ever again. it's a shame too, because seeing the characters mingle with each other was a fun thing to watch. if you plan to go online on line is either hit or miss be sure to have a wired connection because I have a wired connection it and it runs well and I've only seen a few hiccups but I'm guessing that's because maybe the other side was running off Wi-Fi I don't know I just a guess. the new sticker mechanic is nothing special hand sticker mode is kind of boring. story 2 out of 10, fighting 9 out of 10, features 3 out of 10, music 10 out of 10, overall 6 out of 10. bottom line bring back story mode, an actual story like the Wii did.

I bought this game for my son (11 years old). He has been asking for the game for a while and I finally got it for him. He likes it a lot and sometimes his older brother joins in to play with him.
