Ultimate recaptures that same sensation that I had as a kid of seeing my favorite characters duke it out and then some."Ĭoming just about four years after the release of Super Smash Bros. game, and at the very least is a game that I can't imagine any Switch owner going without adding to their roster of games to play with friends for years to come. While a few nagging features hold it back from perfection, Ultimate comes pretty darn close to being the perfect Smash Bros. Ultimate, like its name implies, is anything and everything that a Nintendo fan could want not only from the series as a whole, but from its meticulous details and features that are drawn from across the entire Nintendo catalog of characters, places, and memories. Ultimate recaptures that same sensation that I had as a kid of seeing my favorite characters duke it out and then some. While I think back on the fact that I'm now far closer to adulthood than I am from my childhood and when I first played the N64 original, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the fifth installment in Nintendo's massive fighting game franchise that draws nearly all of its characters together, along with plenty of new challengers that have appeared. In the span of almost two decades, it's incredible to look back and think of where the series started and where it compares now with Super Smash Bros. and its 12-character roster, at the time, felt like a Nintendo fan's dream come true.or at the very least my own. Whether I played as my favorite characters like Link or Ness, or spent hours mastering the art of perfectly landing a Falcon Punch or Jigglypuff's Rest, Super Smash Bros. Those where the days when after getting home from school, I would spend hours in a bean bag chair in the basement, N64 controller in hand, and continue battling it out match-after-match against the Nintendo characters that I knew and loved. When I think back on the original Super Smash Bros., I reflect back to when I was a kid, roughly around elementary/middle school age, and when I would play that Nintendo 64 classic endlessly.
