Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Best Buy may soon be giving fans an opportunity to try out Super Smash Bros. Ultimate in a much more expansive fashion. While the retailer did hold demo events at select stores several weeks ago, we’re hearing that a widely-available version could be appearing as early as this week.

Twitter user ChaseJ_T spotted Super Smash Bros. Ultimate at a Best Buy demo kiosk earlier today. Best Buy’s official account even chimed in with a reply, stating: “The cat is out of the bag.”

We’re a month out from Smash Bros. Ultimate, so it’d definitely make sense for a new demo to start making the rounds at retailers. Keep an eye out on your local store for a possible appearance in the near future.

A Nintendo Direct for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate rolled right in and aired earlier this week. Nintendo pretty much filled in the blanks on some of the uncertainties surrounding the game. The last initial characters were revealed, DLC was confirmed, the Spirits mode was detailed, we got a first look at the new Adventure Mode: World of Light, and more. There was a lot that was discussed in the end, so this recap should come in handy if you want to get a quick reminder on everything shown.

Now that we mostly know about everything surrounding Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, how is everyone feeling about the game? Did this week’s Nintendo Direct get you more hyped or were you disappointed? What do you think about the final characters that were announced? If you have any thoughts about the new Smash Bros., be sure to share them with us in the comments below.

Nintendo Live 2018 is happening in Tokyo this weekend, with another event to follow in Kyoto later in the month. Nintendo is offering playable demos, hosting a variety of tournaments, and more.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate director Masahiro Sakurai actually stopped by earlier today and mainly showed off the Classic and Spirits modes in a 22-minute presentation. We have the recording of that below, along with a ton of additional footage.

More footage is in from the updated demo build of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Below we have a look at all alternate costumes in the game (including alternate colors).

GameXplain has picked up on an interesting tidbit from the World of Light trailer for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Yesterday’s video gave us a look at the map a few different times, but there’s one very neat area in particular.

During a very brief moment in the trailer, we’re able to see a Nintendo city. It houses a Famicom, Game Boy, N64 logo, and more.

To close out yesterday’s Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct, director Masahiro Sakurai gave fans a first look at Adventure Mode: World of Light. The opening video shows characters from the roster getting hit with a beam, losing their bodies, and transforming into spirits. Some sort of powerful being is behind it all, but most of the details won’t be known until launch. However, we do at least have one small tidbit.

Over on the official Smash Bros. Ultimate website, Nintendo reveals the name of the main antagonist. We know that some folks can be a bit sensitive to spoilers, so we’ll put that information after the break.
