Another week, another Smash Ultimate event. This time around the crew is a bit more intriguing though, as the event centers around "Ace Pilots." It'll be held from Friday through Sunday, with the stipulation that "only pilots" are able to p...

At this point the "Smash Invitations," which are merely letters with the Super Smash Bros. seal on them to signify that a character has been "invited" to serve as paid DLC, are ubiquitous with the Nintendo brand. The publisher even emb...

The year 2000 and whereabouts has a lot of hype behind it. Will 2K. "Party like it's 1999." Y2K. The generic "it's the year 20XX, the world is in ruin" storylines. It's the year a lot of people thought we'd have flying cars and live like Th...

In case you missed it, Super Smash Bros. boss Masahiro Sakurai likes to share what he's been up to in Japan's Famitsu magazine fairly regularly. Whether it's health updates or insights into the developmental process, Sakurai is one of ...
