One of the best parts of booting up a new fighter in Super Smash Bros. is plopping them into the Kid Icarus level with Pit and hearing the (typically) hilarious fourth-wall-breaking Palutena rant. In case you haven't tried this (now st...

I feel like we only just got Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's big Version 2.0 update and our devious new potted friend, but Nintendo is already toiling away on what's next. As teased in today's Nintendo Direct, Version 3.0 is scheduled for "thi...

Dante, like Bayonetta, is a character a lot of people want to see in just about any action crossover. He has such a huge arsenal of moves at this point that a team would have to even pare him down, allowing for all sorts of technical c...

Super Smash Bros. has always been prone to those perfect photo moments. I can't tell you how many times all of the different Smash groups I've been a part of over the past two decades or so have paused the game only to laugh at a freez...

Piranha Plant sprouted up in Smash Ultimate a few days ago, but it was only available for people that grabbed the game early. If you happened to miss the redemption period for your free bonus fighter, you can now purchase the Snapdragon fro...

Sometimes Smash leaks are wild. Like when someone tells you The Grinch is going to be included in the roster or your friend tells you that his uncle who works at Nintendo said that Geno is definitely going to make it in at launch. In o...

Nintendo has updated its sales figures for Switch software and things are really looking up. Since its March 2017 launch, the publisher has now pushed five 10 million plus selling games. That list includes Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (15....

Revealed by way of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's latest patch, the new Spirit Event is...Mega Man themed! A lot of the spirits are Mega Man incarnations, rivals and Robot Masters you've seen before (like Mega Man Volnutt or Bass) b...

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's post-launch legacy is well underway. In addition to the revelation that Persona 5's Joker is heading into the ring, Nintendo just released another highly anticipated oddball of a roster addition that was announc...

Nintendo surprise released Piranha Plant for Smash Ultimate tonight and I'm just now finding out! Kingdom Hearts III sucked me away for quite a bit, so I'm late to the party. What I'd hate to happen, though, is for my save data to get corru...

Think of this as a public service announcement. So Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Piranha Plant fighter is set to debut in February. The thing is, it's tied directly to a promotion and not linked to the Fighter's (Season) Pass. So if you want...

Smash Ultimate is moving at cruising speed with its Spirit Board events at this point. Every so often I'll look at an upcoming activity and go "hey, those characters rock!" a true testament to Sakurai's "include everything possible, ev...

The NPD Group has shared its statistics for the whole of 2018 and some not-so-surprising outcomes have happened. Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption 2 was the best selling game of 2018 followed by Treyarch's Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. NBA 2K and...

This week, believe it or don't, Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. franchise is an amazing 20 years old. That's 20 years of frenetic button-pounding, chaotic multiplayer warfare and turning up to tournaments in your pyjamas (at least that's what ...

My wife has really gotten me into the art (ha) of arts of crafts over the past decade plus: creating game related stuff only helps motivate me. These invitations from GandaKris' NintendoDIY channel are pretty nifty, and I can easily see mys...

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's first bit of DLC is coming soon: sooner than projected, actually. While we had a hint of a February release date for Piranha Plant thanks to the February 15 listing for the amiibo, now Nintendo has narrowed it d...

So Masahiro Sakurai just dropped a bunch of tidbits over the weekend for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate by way of Nintendo Dream magazine, and some of them are pretty damn interesting. Most notably, Decidueye almost had Incineroar's s...

Things are fairly quiet on all fronts when it comes to the post-Holiday UK Charts. While the stores no doubt feverishly wait for Capcom's Resident Evil 2 and Square Enix's Kingdom Hearts III, a selection of great titles jostle around the To...

It might be a fairly quiet period for gaming in this post-Holiday period, but that sometimes allows for titles that would otherwise have to fight through busier periods to simply saunter into the top spot. Case in point: New Super Mario Bro...

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is pretty much knocking it out of the park in every respect. It's doing incredibly critically and commercially, crushing it in multiple regions. But in Japan, it's doing very, very well for itself. According to in...

Although Nintendo have admitted themselves that winter is their most profitable season, the U.K. market has always been one of their lower-drawing demographics when compared to Japan and America. Here in Blighty, people are all about PlaySt...

You might want to wait on leveling up your Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Spirits if you're preparing for a grind-session. As announced on Twitter, Nintendo is gearing up to host a special Spirit Board event on January 11 that will double ...

Raf Grassetti is kind of a badass. In addition to working on characters for comics, toys and games (including God of War), he also tries his hand at various other properties, including...Super Smash Bros.? Late last week he posted the first...

Despite Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption 2 walking away with the coveted Christmas Number One slot, it seems that the status quo has been restored as we head into 2019, with Electronic Arts' footie-sim FIFA 19 returning to the top of the char...

Super Smash Bros. is one of these special series that means something different to everyone. For some, the appeal comes from the tactical mind games of high-level play. Single-player people also found something to love in Brawl's Subspace E...
