Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Nintendo Direct reveals new details.

In the last Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Nintendo Direct video presentation before the game launches on December 7 exclusively for the Nintendo Switchrelease, Nintendo has showcased many new modes, fighters and gameplay features that the greatest video game crossover has to offer, including DLC ​​details. With the reveal of the new fighters Ken, from Street Fighter, and Incineroar, from the Pokémon franchise, all fighters (all 74!) that will be playable at launch have now been revealed! But the fun isn’t over yet. As already announced in the video presentation, more fighters, levels and music tracks are coming to the game in the form of DLC. Go to the Nintendo Direct website to watch the entire Nintendo Direct video. Nintendo has also made it attractive for fans to pre-order the download version. My Nintendo users who have played Super Smash Bros. Ultimate pre-launch purchases from Nintendo eShop will receive twice as many Gold Points as normal. This offer is valid until Sunday 9 December. Here are some highlights from the presentation:

  • HadoKEN!: Ryu’s rival Ken comes straight from the Street Fighter series to join the fray as an echo fighter in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Ken’s appearance is based on his looks in Super Street Fighter II Turbo. Some of his attacks are similar to Ryu’s, but he is slightly faster and his Hadoken looks different.
  • Incineroar: The final fighter to plunge into the action from release is Incineroar, the latest evolution of Litten. This Pokémon first appeared in Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon. Incineroar uses professional wrestling attacks culminating in his ultimate smash: Super Fiery Moonsault. That move is based on his Z move from the Pokémon games.
  • Spirits: in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate strikes disaster: many video game characters are stripped of their bodies and turned into “spirits”, which can serve as power-ups for playable fighters. There is an incredible amount of spirits of all shapes and sizes. The list is almost endless: from Chibi-Robo and Dr. Wily to Tails and Revolver Ocelot. Players can equip their fighter with main and auxiliary spirits to become stronger or gain additional abilities such as extra speed or strength. By combining spirits, players can gain an advantage over certain opponents. So strategic thinking pays off. Spirits are similar to charms or accessories in RPGs. In addition to the playable fighters, spirits allow players to enjoy many more video game characters.
  • Spirit battles: The main way to collect spirits is by winning spirit battles. Whoever wins such a spirit battle will have the chance to free the spirit and add it to their collection.
  • Making spirits stronger: Players can make spirits stronger by taking them into battle. Some spirits can even evolve when they reach their highest level. The more trained spirits are, the more powerful and useful they are.
  • Spirit teams: Thanks to the unprecedented amount of spirits in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate you can create countless combinations. Players will be constantly surprised by all the spirits that appear in the game. To prevent players from losing sight of the wood for the trees, the game makes recommendations for the best main and auxiliary spirits to use. That may make choosing a bit easier.
  • DLC: Until the end of February 2020, new fighters, levels and music tracks will be coming to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate come in the form of paid DLC. Players can purchase a set for just $5.99. Such a set contains a new playable fighter (not an echo fighter), a new level and various music tracks. Purchasing a Fighters Pass for €24.99 will give players access to five sets (to be announced) as soon as they are released. That means five new fighters, five levels and different music tracks. Starting December 7, players who purchase a Fighters Pass will also receive an in-game outfit based on Rex from Xenoblade Chronicles 2. To top it off, My Nintendo users will receive double Gold Points from My Nintendo when they download the download version of the game. purchase in conjunction with the Fighters Pass before the end of Sunday, December 9.

  • Adventure mode: World of Lost Lights: Although Adventure Mode: Subspace Emissary in Super Smash Bros. Brawl is second to none, something big is in store for players this time too: something has caused the many video game characters to be stripped of their bodies and turned into spirits. Today’s Nintendo Direct video already showed some footage of that, but Masahiro Sakurai, the director of the Super Smash Bros. series, wants to keep some parts a secret until the game is released…

Each assist trophy is based on a specific video game character and can assist you with defensive and offensive powers. There are a total of 59 help trophies in the game, such as Guile from Street Fighter, Isaac from Golden Sun, the Flyswatter from Mario Paint, and Spring Man from ARMS.
