Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have played the super smash bros since the n64 version and the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for nintendo switch is absolutely amazing! I’m really enjoying my time with the game. There is 100's of hours of game play in a small cartridge and is worth your time to invest. Still, this is the Smash you know and love. This game is an easy recommendation at full price!!!

Good graphics Excellent challenges Medium difficulty Great story Truly exciting

I held off buying this game for a long time, but finally broke down and bought it for the Switch. I'm a longtime fan of Small Bros., and have owned every previous version on various consoles. The gameplay is ... fine? It feels less polished and more like they leaned into it being a button-masher. But gameplay aside, the menu system of the game is abysmal. It doesn't feel like a Nintendo product. It doesn't even feel like an indie product. It feels like a high-schooler's attempt of a UX/UI Design project. I hope Nintendo releases something better for the next version. As for me, it's bad enough that I returned and will be skipping this one.

Honestly not my personal cup of tee, prefer other fighting games

Best Buy sent a defective game that does not read. I tried to return it but they won’t take back, replace or refund their defective product. They do not stand by their product quality claims. I now wonder if these are even authentic.

This game offers hours of fun playing with your favorite characters against your friends, kids or by yourself.

It's a fun and enjoyable game, but it's a 4-year-old game and it's still $ 60, only at Nintendo

If there were to be more characters it would be much more challenging

We bought this product as a Christmas present for my necee and he loves it.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is an amazing game and a lot of fun to play. The gameplay is fast, smooth, and easy to learn, but still challenging enough to keep it interesting. The large character selection is impressive, and each match feels different. It’s perfect for playing with family and friends, especially in multiplayer. Whether you play casually or competitively, this game offers tons of replay value. It’s definitely a must-have for any Nintendo Switch owner

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is the definitive crossover experience. The most impressive aspect is the massive roster; I love how it seamlessly includes every character from the series' history alongside incredible new additions. Whether playing with old favorites or mastering newcomers, the gameplay remains polished, fast-paced, and endlessly reliable for any gathering.

I mean you can’t go wrong with a classic. The quality is 10/10

Excellent must have game for the Nintendo switch and switch lite. With a vast roster of characters the catalog reaches to other franchises like Final fantasy, Metal Gear, Megamall, CastleVania and many many more. Fun fast action. Easy to play hard to master.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is one of those games that just never gets old. The roster is huge, the gameplay feels smooth, and it’s the perfect mix of chaotic and strategic. You can jump in for quick matches with friends or sink a couple hours into unlocking characters without it ever feeling like a grind. It plays great on any Switch model, and it’s easily one of the best party games out there. If you even slightly enjoy fighting games or Nintendo nostalgia, this one’s an easy pick.

Having different characters to choose from each time

This is the only fighting game I play. I have ended up starting over on this game 3 times. I would rather not start over, but it's totally worth it. I also only play this game single player, and it has hundreds of hours of content.

I love smash brothers! I played the first one on the Nintendo 64 and many of the others leading up to this one. This game I can say for sure that the difficulty has been ramped up... or I'm just getting worse at the game. You have over 70 characters to choose from (once you unlock them), and lots of modes to use them in. The story mode is a great addition to the game but some of those levels are literally impossible if you don't' have the right spirit to beat it with. I play this game as much as I can. I don't have online so I can't say if that's good or not, but everything else about the game is great. Fun Party game

I bought this game at Best Buy for my nephew, and he really loves it. The game is fun, colorful, and easy for kids to enjoy. There are lots of characters and it’s great for playing with family and friends. I’m very happy with this purchase and would recommend it.

The phrase "Up for smash?" somehow turned from being about playing video games to some sort of euphemism popular with the kids these days. As a result it's been really hard to send texts out to see if my friends want to play video games. "Smash tonight?" I'd send, followed by an enthusiastic reply of "yes, doors unlocked, hurry!". But when I show up with my Switch in tow, there's always a slight look of disappointment among the assembled parties, as I had once again misconstrued the invitation. That is until the joycons come out and a grand time of "5 stock no items" is had. This is the fighting game that everyone has been waiting for since the Switch was announced. Every fighter that has ever been in a Smash Bros game, plus more you couldn't believe they added, with even more to come as DLC. Except Waluigi. Even if you don't have friends that'll play with you even though they clearly had other intentions when they invited you over, there's enough single player content to keep you busy, especially unlocking spirits in the new World of Light mode. Online mode is a bit of a toss-up as the big N still can't get a proper online system like every other console & PC, because "think of the children". Still, this is the Smash you know and love.

Super Smash Bros Ultimate is a great, 8-player game that can be used to play with your friends, family, or loved ones (or an octopus). The "Smash" mode features many different ways that you can play, whether you prefer timed matches, matches with a set number of lives (or "stocks"), or battles to take down your opponent's HP. You can also mix and match various rules to create your own custom, unique matches as well! The "World of Light" campaign mode is done well as well. While it isn't nearly as deep as I personally would've liked it (not quite as immersive as the story from "Super Smash Bros. Brawl"), it still will give you hours upon hours of gameplay, unlocking various fighters and spirits, and finding and experimenting with cool combos and combinations of fighters/spirits to get the most out of your fighter (which you can use in Online matches (assuming you have spirits enabled for said matches). There are over 70 characters to play as, making it the largest roster in any Smash Bros yet. Whether you like Mario, Pokemon, Zelda, Fire Emblem, Sonic, Kirby, or even series that aren't as well-known; such as Xenoblade, Earthbound, Castlevania, and Kid Icarus (and soon to be Persona 5), there are characters and play styles for everyone!! Pros: - 70+ playable characters. Each with their own unique play style. - 800+ songs in the game (with the option to make your own playlists), so you can listen to your favorite tunes from famous video games. - The Classic mode is fun to do, and the difficulty indicator is very reminiscent to "Kid Icarus: Uprising" (which is, in my opinion, one of the best games for the 3DS). - Campaign mode (over 15 hours of exploration, battles, and experimentation!). - Tons of fun to play with friends and family locally Cons: - CPU on level 9 is much more brutal than other games (though personally I enjoy that, others might not). - Story mode (World of Light) isn't nearly as deep as SSE from "Super Smash Bros Brawl". WoL mostly just sends you on a goose chase to fight characters, with no real plot elements; thus making the story feel extremely lack-luster. - Online mode is horrible. If you plan on playing online for those achievements and to truly 100% the game; don't bother. Unless you have exceptionally good internet and a LAN/ethernet cable right by you, you will experience frame drops so bad that it makes the frame drops in "Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric" look good. It's sad, since one of the charms of the "Super Smash Bros" series is playing online; but currently, the online feature just does not work properly (now, playing LAN or with others in your house works perfectly!). Overall rating: 8.7 / 10
