I wasn't sure how I was gonna introduce this review, but look, you guys already know how much I love "Super Smash Bros." if you've seen my other reviews, and you guys should know by extension that I'm gonna gush endlessly about this game, so I'm gonna keep it short and spare some of the gushing: "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate" is fantastic. It's brimming with content out the wazoo, it's got enough in it to feel like a museum not only of Smash, but of gaming in general, it makes a series that's essentially a love letter to the medium feel like a wedding to video games, the gameplay feels like a perfect balance between what made "Super Smash Bros. for Wii U" a great casual game and "Super Smash Bros. Melee" a technical fighting game, it's got a really compelling and exciting story mode, it feels as though there is almost nothing the game doesn't have (except for a cake, $1,000,000 and an all-expenses paid vacation to Nintendo's headquarters but, I mean, beggars can't be choosers there). Only time will tell if this will eclipse "Melee" as my favorite "Smash Bros." game (or if it will eclipse "Super Mario Odyssey" as my favorite video game), but regardless, "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate" is a wonder to behold, and it's a game every Switch owner should have in their collection.
Final rating: 10 out of 10 "Fantastic"
