On November 1, 2018, Nintendo released a latest Direct dedicated to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, fighting game promised to land under the feet of many firs in a few weeks. The opportunity to know everything about this exclusive Switch: it is time to make a point on the casting, the game modes and content that will arrive after the launch.

Full of fighters

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate speaks for him: he is the ultimate version of a license that has already had several episodes. In this sense, it will gather dozens and dozens of fighters for a total of 74. At startup, you will have only 8 available and it will unlock the others one by one thanks to the different game modes included in the cartridge.

An adventure full of surprises

Nintendo has lifted the veil on the adventure mode of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, without saying too much not to spoil the surprise. It will be called The glow of the world and will ask to reap the spirits of the fighters absorbed by a villain. Obviously, it is through him that we should get a good part of the cast.

Super online modes #SmashBros Ultimate are no longer divided into "for fun" and "for glory". The search for rivals is now based on your favorite rules and Smash power, and the system will give priority to nearby players geographically. pic.twitter.com/3NYvLFkTEq

As our games progress, we will collect Collectible Spirits and badociate them with the combatants to improve their characteristics and / or offer them special powers in addition. Nintendo says, " Players equip a spirit as if it were a spell or an accessory in an RPG. We can make them fight each other so that they evolve and it will also be possible to combine them. In short, the possibilities seem endless and the Spirits should occupy the players for very, very long months.

New amiibo

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will be a boon to market a new collection of amiibo. Here is the schedule:

• Inkling, Ridley and Wolf: December 7, 2018, the day of the release;
• King K. Rool, Ice Climbers and Piranha Plant: February 15, 2019;
• Mary, Pichu, Ken, Child Link, Daisy: 2019.

There will be DLC (pay)

Nintendo has promised to support Super Smash Bros. Ultimate until February 2020. That means there will be a lot of paid DLC to inflate the content of the game. They will bring together a character, a level and music and can be purchased together – via a more profitable Fighter Pbad – or separately. Of course, if you opt for the complete set, you will be entitled to some bonuses (additional outfits for your avatar).
