Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has been out for a few days now and people already have their mains picked. As for me? I'm really digging Richter and will likely cycle him into my usual picks of Ness and Rosalina. But all characters are subject ...

From the mind of Micah Moore comes a real-life four player Super Smash Bros. Ultimate rendition starring real stunt actors (Walking Dead's Negan/MacGyver/Marvel films). As you'd expect the choreography is on point, as is the editing in...

These are good times for the recently-released Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. We've already reported on the amazing U.K. success of Nintendo's latest entry in the crossover series, and now word is out that Japan has also been bitten by the ine...

Man I adore the pre-DS Game Boy era. I mean the DS and 3DS were giants in their own right (and the latter is one of my most-played systems of all time), but there was something special about the compact, post original Game Boy designs that ...

It's mid-December and, hoo-boy, money is changing hands. With cash registers ringing and people grabbing up stuff for Tat-mas, it's been a very profitable week for video game publishers. None more so that Nintendo, whose biggest release of ...

So here's the thing about Super Smash Bros. Ultimate -- you only start with a handful of fighters! Yep I know, it sounds rough, but in the grand scheme of things you'll have plenty of time to experiment with the entire roster after spe...

Well this is something I hope we see a lot of in the west. Over in Japan folks are scooping up physical Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighters Pass cards, which are emblazoned with the Smash seal and everything. It's a rad little way...

Despite the guff it gets from some members of the fighting game community, the Smash Bros. franchise is not only the biggest game in the genre but also one of the biggest in all of gaming. Each and every entry in the series has outsold...

Yeah, I'll take any sort of Super Smash Bros. celebration this week after the launch of Ultimate, a monumental achievement in the fighting game genre. We've already seen the amazing Sakurai amiibo in honor of his team's achievements, but th...

In many ways, Super Smash Bros. for 3DS/Wii U was already an "all-star" outing. Sure it wasn't 100% complete but given that the vast majority of fighting games never reach that bar, it was an acceptable loss. Nintendo ambitiously delivered ...

Another week rolls by, and the Holidays draw ever nearer. For those of you who celebrate, this can mean very busy weekends of preparation, decorating, invitation, and of course, expensive shopping trips. A lot of that stuff I don't have to ...

Nintendo brought a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate bombshell to The Game Awards after all. Joker from Persona 5 will join the game's ridiculous roster as a DLC fighter in the Challenger Pack 1. That's one post-launch character reveal down, four...

Every so often a custom amiibo comes along that's either aesthetically impressive or warms the heart. This one checks both boxes. Born from the mind of artist George Crudo, this new figure depicts a picturesque, yet also cartoonish version ...

The one or two times a year I get to talk about Kid Icarus: Uprising is usually when I get to tell you that it's criminally underrated. So I'll do it again: this game rocks. Chided at launch because of the hand-cramps it gave, I was ab...

We're just days away from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and while director Sakurai has noted that there will not be any major surprises through launch, we are getting little tidbits here and there. Just this past weekend the Nintendo Australi...

Pretty much everyone on the planet loves Kirby. Even if you hated to fight him in say, Super Smash Bros. 64 you still loved him deep down. The little puff ball is impossible to hate: its creator HAL Laboratory made him that way. Well i...

For some time, I felt that my excitement for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was much more subdued than usual. With 99.9% of games, I’d see that as a good thing. I’m trying to manage my time and money more prudently, and despite...
