While Nintendo have hosted several tournaments for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and provided support for the community in other ways, they generally don’t provide prize money for the tournament winners, making it tough for competitive players to build a career around it. In a recent interview with Nikkei, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa was asked about this issue and said the following (credit goes to Kotaku for the translation):

A new update for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is now available. Version 6.1.1 is live, which implements support for the Dark Samus and Richter amiibo.

You’ll need today’s update in order to access the online mode. Replay data works with version 6.1.0, but not version 6.0.0 and earlier.

Nintendo has lined up another tournament event for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. This week, amiibo are getting the focus and are actually needed to participate. FP (figure players) are involved.

The new tournament goes live on January 10. Look for it to last a total of three days.

Happy New Year! Start off the decade on the right foot by joining Oni Dino and Galen as we predict Nintendo’s 2020! We’ve got a game with around 20 questions about Nintendo’s future and predict the outcomes. Who will be the victor? Also, there seems to be a Nintendo Direct around the corner. We want certain Smash characters as DLC and we have great, realistic arguments for why they really could be future characters. Plus, Wii U ports that make sense. And a healthy dose of Fire Emblem: Three Houses talk.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is kicking it old-school this week with another brand new tournament. This time around, the theme is actually dedicated to a previous entry in the series.

When the event begins, players will only be able to use fighters and stages from Super Smash Bros. Melee. Items will also appear from the classic GameCube game.

The new tournament goes live on January 3.

A few months ago, Nintendo Dream was able to interview some of the developers behind Dragon Quest XI S. Towards the end of discussion, the Japanese magazine asked about Hero’s inclusion in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Producer Hokuto Okamoto, development director Masato Yagi, and director Takeshi Uchikawa all shared a few words about the Square Enix roster edition. Twitter user Sephazon has prepared a translation of the excerpt, which you can find below.

The latest Spirit Board event, “So Comfy! So Cool!” is now live and features characters wearing shorts.
