Nintendo Goes In-Depth into Smash Bros Ultimate in Latest Nintendo Direct
In the final Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Nintendo Direct video presentation before the game launches exclusively for the Nintendo Switch system on Dec. 7, Nintendo blew the lid off of many new modes, fighters and gameplay features of the massive video game crossover event, including details about upcoming DLC. With the reveal of new fighters Ken from the Street Fighter series and Incineroar from the PokÁ©mon franchise, all playable fighters at launch — all 74 of them! — have been unveiled. But more fighters, stages and music tracks will be coming in the form of DLC, which was also announced in the video presentation.
Really an incredible showcase of all the work Sakurai and company have put into the game.
You can watch the full Direct above, but in addition to what is mentioned in the pull-quote, Nintendo also announced that purchasers of the game will get a free playable fighter, that of the Piranha Plant from Super Mario Bros..
In short, it ruled, game rules, everything’s awesome.
