Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

The latest Spirits event in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is now live. As previously announced, instead of specific spirits appearing, this event will let you earn double the EXP and SP on the Spirit Board.

Nintendo will be hosting a new Spirit Board event in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate starting later this week. This time around, the theme is that the rewards handed out will be doubled. That means more experience and SP for everyone.

The latest Spirit Board event kicks off on January 11. It’ll last for three days.

As billed earlier in the week, the “Now You’re Playing With Spirit Power!” Spirit Board event is now live in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Players will see an increased spawn rate of iconic characters from the NES, Famicom, and the Famicom Disk System up until midnight of January 7th.

Throughout the event, users will also encounter the Donkey Kong and Lady, Link (The Legend of Zelda), and Sukapon Legend class Spirits as the focus of the time period.

Datamining has led to all sorts of information being uncovered early about games in the past. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate might be the latest example of this – specifically regarding DLC.

Fans have been poking through Smash Bros. Ultimate’s files and may have come across possible information regarding future DLC characters. Obviously, if you’re looking to avoid any potential spoilers, you may want to skip what we cover below.

Sometimes you end up working on a dream project without initially realizing it. That’s what happened with Abby Trott, who is the English singer behind Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s “Lifelight” theme.

In an interview with Puissance Nintendo, Trott said she cried when she found out what game she had been singing for. She’s a “life-long fan of Nintendo,” so being involved with Smash Bros. Ultimate was “really special”.

Ahead of the “Now You’re Playing With Spirit Power!” Spirit Board event set to take place in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate this weekend, Nintendo has officially revealed three of the retro Spirits that will be part of the Focus.

As was somewhat teased in the promotional image that was put out for the event yesterday, both the Donkey Kong & Lady and Sukapon Spirits will be highlighted. In addition, the Link (The Legend of Zelda) Spirit will appear more frequently. Each of these three Spirits are Legend class.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

In just three days, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate sold five million copies worldwide. Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa commented on the early success while speaking with The Sankei News.

Furukawa said, “The people who’ve played Smash before are coming back for this one; that accumulation of players contributed to the initial push [in sales]”. He also said that Nintendo needs to continue selling “and not get caught up in that initial momentum.”

You can now take place in the Mario-themed spirit board event, which runs through January 1. Here are the rare spirits featured and what time you need to be playing to get them. All times are EST.
