Nintendo has passed along a new batch of screenshots and art for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. We have the various images below.
REDMOND, Wash., Nov. 1, 2018 – In the final Super Smash Bros. UltimateNintendo Direct video presentation before the game launches exclusively for the Nintendo Switch system on Dec. 7, Nintendo blew the lid off of many new modes, fighters and gameplay features of the massive video game crossover event, including details about upcoming DLC. With the reveal of new fighters Ken from the Street Fighter series and Incineroar from the Pokémon franchise, all playable fighters at launch – all 74 of them! – have been unveiled. But more fighters, stages and music tracks will be coming in the form of DLC, which was also announced in the video presentation.

Nintendo also announced an incentive for fans to pre-purchase the digital version of the game (and avoid long lines and the holiday rush!). My Nintendo members who pre-purchase the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate game in Nintendo eShop or on Nintendo.com will earn a bonus of 300, or double, Gold Points. This limited-time offer runs now through 11:59 p.m. ET on Dec. 6. The bonus points will be issued on the game’s launch day.
“There are still elements of today’s presentation that hold a lot of secrets for players to discover, but with the launch of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate only a little more than a month away, this Nintendo Direct presentation is a final look at one of the most massive games Nintendo has ever produced,” said Doug Bowser, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “With so much to experience and discover in this game – and with a huge library of other games to choose from – we believe fans are going to be playing a lot of Nintendo Switch this holiday season.”
St. Louis, MO – Nov. 1, 2018 – Crashlands, the crafting-adventure with RPG elements and more than 500,000 players, breaks orbit and lands on Nintendo Switch Nov. 8. Butterscotch Shenanigans will debut co-op on Nintendo’s platform.
Flux’s day began like any intergalactic trucker’s: hurtlin’ through the stars with space-coffee in hand, ready to bring packages of joy to various worlds. Then some jerk named Hewgodooko teleported in, wrecked her ship in search of useful tech, and caused Flux and her robot assistant Juicebox to crash-land (wink wink) on Woanope.
Nintendo has revealed a brand new Adventure mode for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. This will draw comparisons to the Subspace Emissary from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but director Masahiro Sakurai has indicated that it’ll be different. Today’s Nintendo Direct closed with a special sequence – complete with some voice acting – showing what happened to the fighters and the “spirits” theme behind the game.
Known as World of Light, the mode will have special game-themed maps, boss battles, and more.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has pulled back the curtain on another fighter. Piranha Plant from the Mario series will be playable, Nintendo has revealed. It’ll be an early purchase benefit.
Director Masahiro Sakurai estimates that it’ll take a couple of months for it to be released following launch.
Just like Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will be getting DLC. Director Masahiro Sakurai announced the news during today’s Direct.
More fighters, stages, and music will be coming. They can be bought as individual paid sets at $5.99 each or purchase the Fighters Pass at $24.99 to receive all five sets as they’re released. All Fighters Pass content will be released by February 2020.
Players who purchase the Fighters Pass will also receive a Rex-themed Mii Swordfighter costume and additional music tracks from Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
During today’s Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct, first details were provided about online play. Here’s what we know:
Nintendo has announced the release dates of more amiibo. King K. Kool and Ice Climbers are launching in February, with other figures to follow in 2019.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has announced another new fighter. Incineroar, coming from Pokemon, will be included on the roster. That’s the last new character for the roster.
Below are a few details:
