It’s not just a great fighting game and a perfect party title, uncommonly enjoyable and absurdly rich in content that should suffice for literally years of fun. It’s also an amazing homage to the history of video games. [02/2019, p.60]

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate escalates everything the series was known for, and delivers it flawlessly. Biggest fighter rooster ever, more dynamic gameplay, loads and loads of gameplay modes, stages, weapons, music, stuff! If there is a smash that deserves your cash, this is the one!

This is the ultimate Smash Bros. How will they ever top it? [Issue #37 – January/February 2019, p. 65]

(8.7)
Sakurai logró capturar la esencia de cada personaje perfectamente, el roster amplio no es lo único que destaca, las canciones, los escenarios, los combos, los instrumentos que aparecen... Sinceramente este juego es un rejunte de muchísimas cosas que logran darle vida.
La historia es simple pero interesante, sobre todo desafiante, los niveles en general son más cantidad que calidad pero una vez que te vas enfrentando a los enemigos encuentras la calidad, los mini bosses como el jefe final tienen una dificultad bastante alta y logran hacer sentir a uno satisfecho al terminarlo todo. Pero no importa tanto lo anterior porque el fuerte de este juego es cuando uno se mete a competirlo contra sus amigos de forma local, es ahí donde la magia del smash deslumbra, es rápido y sin tantas explicaciones, un juego que cualquiera sin saber mucho puede competir... No he jugado mucho el online ni tampoco pretendo meterlo como argumentación para la nota porque sinceramente me basta con el juego tanto de solitario como de forma local, roza lo perfecto.

The only problem I have with this game, Is that I have no idea how they could ever make anything better than this. This game is perfection. This fighting mechanics are amazing and every playable fighter controls in their own unique way. You could spend hours trying out every fighter to see who is the right fit for you. Speaking of fighters, this game might have the most insane character selection of any video game in history. You are telling me i can play a agme that has Sonic, Mario, Steve, Sans, Cuphead, Doom Slayer, and Banjo Koozie all in the same game? That is insane. And they way every fighter is unlocked allows you to truly appreate all of them and all their moves. This game doesnt have the best story mode in the franchise, but damn its an amazing one. I LOVE THIS DANG GAME!

The only great fighting game that never gets boring and features characters from every other game in the series. For years, it has been making you even more addicted instead of boring you, and with its spirit system, Nintendo and everyone who has a deal with them are involved.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is ultimate in every sense of the word. World of Light is fantastic, Challenge Mode is satisfying and there's so much love and detail in absolutely everything in the game... Whilst having 60+ characters and 100+ stages sounds overwhelming, it's the perfect celebration of everything Nintendo and will be hard to top going forward.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is the perfect fighting game for everyone. Its features are easy to learn but difficult to master, and it's extreme fun whether playing with friends or alone. This game is so attractive that sometimes I even can't stop to have dinner in recent days. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate definitely demands that every gamer pay attention to it.

For the first time, we could almost say that the Nintendo brawler has reached the saturation point, beyond which it is really difficult to think about what future episodes might hold.

Despite striking setbacks with online, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is arguably the most addictive game on Nintendo Switch. Like its predecessors, its combat system is unrivaled with precise inputs that give you full control of your favorite characters. With an extensive roster of playable fighters and an impressive lineup of stages, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate can easily provide you with a varied sense of enjoyment for many years to come.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is bigger and, for the most part, better than ever. It gives to the audience one of the best experiences ever for single player in a fighting game, but makes a few bad choices for the Online Mode that steals the freedom of choice from the players.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is equal parts greatness and lacking. The sheer wealth of content and great gameplay is commended but there are big holes in what could be a great game.

Possibly the most ambitious title in the entire franchise. It has everything you've ever dreamt of for a Super Smash Bros game, and more. It has way more playable / unlockable characters than you thought you wanted, and it also has so many stages that if you're a casual player you're probably going to be like "oh I never played this one" when you have in fact, played it. But it also has a lot of playable hours in both the classic and the story modes, which came as a surprise to me. Perhaps my nostalgia is clouding my judgement, but as of now I still enjoy Super Smash Bros Melee a tiny bit more than this one. However, Ultimate is such a close second-best game in the franchise, that in a couple of years, after I have spent many more hours playing it, I may end up holding it in higher regard. That's how brilliant I think this game is.

Fast paced co-op fighting game. It is a lot of fun for a few weeks, but eventually it gets pretty repetitive.. I think the adventure mode is generally overhated, although it isn’t the greatest in any way. What I’m saying is, decent game.

As a fighting game, this game is awasome. But the story is far less interesting compared to Super Smash Bros Brawl, so I can´t rank this game better.

Good story but I have to buy a membership to play online with anyone after i had to buy the overpriced game and dlc character only to find out either every single person is a god or they're a level 9 bot and if i so much as touch the home button while in online it disconnects me and bans me for 30 mins while also screen tearing like crazy, if i buy a game i want full access to all of the damn game!!!

This is a game that is fun at times, but usually is pretty bad, the only way to enjoy yourself is if you’re good at the game, or fighting people who aren’t good at the game.
SummaryInklings from the Splatoon series, as well as returning Smash characters like Mario and Link will be making appearances in this classic Nintendo franchise's Switch debut. Faster combat, new items, new attacks, new defensive options, and more will keep the battle raging whether you’re at home or on the go.
Rated E +10for Everyone +10
