lives up to its name, offering the most comprehensive game in the series to date. It has an absurd amount to play, fight, and unlock – though that can be to its detriment at times. While the World of Light adventure mode isn't reason alone to get Smash Bros.

Nintendo's all-star brawler Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has had us giddy with excitement ever since its initial reveal during this March's Nintendo Direct. It strives to be the pinnacle of the franchise, reuniting all characters from throughout its history and adding fresh new mechanics such as an...

Crossovers happen all the time in games, films, TV shows and just about every other form of media out there, but none of them can really be compared to Super Smash Bros. ; no, not even that film that you're thinking of.

Perhaps you remember Smash Bros from days gone by. Getting together with some good friends and wailing on one another until feelings were hurt and battle cries were unleashed. Picking your absolute favorite and watching them decimate or be destroyed.

Tons of distinct fighters; Many many game modes; Controls are fluid and precise

World of Light gets repetitive fast; Not in love with the bonus stage

I've played every Super Smash Bros. game since they began all the way back on the Nintendo 64, but I can't say that I've ever found myself hugely addicted to them. Don't get me wrong, I've always had a great time with it, but I've never quite been on the same level as those dedicated fans, putting...

Nintendo has never been ones to conform to rules. They'll always go out of their way to make their games a little different to everyone else. Super Smash Bros. has for years now been their take on the fighting genre – you either get it or you don't.

Adventure mode will last you a long time; A soundtrack so good you can buy the game just for that; The spirits inject a whole new strategic element; 74 fighters and over 100 stages to fight in

Home-run contest is gone; Hopefully online mode won't be as broken as other Smash games

Sometimes it's hard to believe we've been punching Mario's face in for nearly two decades. From the original Super Smash Bros back on the N64 right up to the present day with Super Smash Bros. Ultimat

Runs incredibly smoothly; Fast; frantic; fun fighting; Epic single-player adventure mode; Incredible attention to detail

Minimal story in World of Light mode; No Home Run Contest

Sometimes I feel bad for Masahiro Sakurai. As the creator of Super Smash Bros., he has poured his heart and soul into the series for more than 20 years now. And yet, one way or another, Smash Bros. has seemingly struggled to escape the long shadow cast by Smash Bros.

While the single-player story won't be for everyone, each player can likely find something to love in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate . This is undoubtedly the best game in the series and an unmatched multiplayer experience. An instant classic and a game that should always be loaded on your Switch.

A hallmark of excellence. There may be flaws, but they are negligible and won't cause massive damage.
