Just last month during a polarizing Byleth Smash Ultimate reveal, Smash head honcho Masahiro Sakurai revealed a second Fighter's (Season) Pass. In short, it will have one additional fighter in its pass system (bringing the count from five i...

The "should Nintendo support a growing Super Smash Bros. pro scene" argument has been raging for some time now. Over a decade actually, if you bring it all the way back to the release and success of Melee. In recent years though pros a...

I didn't think the Spirit Boards in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate would be something that would interest me much when they were first revealed, but here we are more than a year later and I can't get enough of them. They're a small and sim...

It's time for the weekly weekend Smash Ultimate event, and this one is all about Byleth's teaching abilities from Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Wait, don't go! According to the official Smash Ultimate Twitter account it'll be a tourn...

In case you missed it, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate added another Fire Emblem character. Now that character rules! But I totally get the Fire Emblem fatigue factor. Smash boss Masahiro Sakurai does too. Speaking to Fa...

[Check out our previous Smash Ultimate DLC coverage: Piranha Plant, Joker, Hero, Banjo, Terry.] Look, I understand that people are mad that yet another Fire Emblem character is coming to Smash Ultimate: as...

Now that the 7.0 update is live for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the next era of the game begins. Byleth is out now, but his release marks the end of the first Fighter's (season) Pass. From here on out we're in the age of Fighter's Pass Vol....

It's time for another huge Super Smash Bros. Ultimate patch, and 7.0 is finally upon us following a Sakurai Direct tease recently. You can find Fire Emblem: Three Houses spirits haunting the game now, as well as a bunch of Tetris&...

So this is a fairly breezy PSA: there's more Smash Ultimate free DLC. But there's caveats! I'll get the big one out of the way first: you need to be a Switch Online subscriber. I get that a lot of people are probably lapsed subscribers at t...

Nintendo is keeping the Smash Ultimate events running, and following a cool little amiibo tournament, we're back to spirits again. These spirits are a little more interesting than your average fare though, as Smash Ultimate is welcomin...

[CJ and Holmes Disagree is a series where Destructoid Features editor CJ Andreissen and washed-up Dtoid Show host Jonathan Holmes disagree about video games. Who will you agree or disagree with?] When I saw the Smash Bros. direct this ...

Lyle has hatched from his angry little chrysalis into the new year with video game news from the dead god's eye that includes the following: GameStop is screwed! Grand Theft Auto IV was removed from Steam! Smash has a new and very exciting...

Sakurai is upping his Smash Ultimate DLC game. This time the next Fighter's Pass is confirmed (Volume 2), which will add six new fighters into the mix. That's one more than the first pass, for 11 DLC characters in total at this time. I...

Well, tons of DLC is always a given when there's a Smash Direct. On top of Byleth, more Mii outfits are entering the fray for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate soon. That list includes Altaïr from Assassin's Creed, Cuphead, Rabbids,...

Today is a pretty big day for Smash Ultimate reveals, as Byleth from Fire Emblem: Three Houses makes his way to the Super Smash Bros. stage. Both genders will be available, as will sacred relic weapons from the Fire Emblem se...

The time has come for Sakurai to give us a fully-fledged, 35-minute long Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct, where he will reveal the new DLC fighter: the fifth and final part of the first Fighter's Pass. There's more DLC already confir...

Is this it? Will we finally confirm who the final DLC character for the first Fighter's Pass is? After numerous assumptions of Directs and award show reveals, Nintendo has pulled back the curtain on the latest Super Smash Bros. Ultimate&nbs...

Take a look at the best-selling Switch games. I'll wait. Notice Super Smash Bros. Ultimate pretty high up there? Yeah, well it's the best selling fighting game of all time, and steadily approaching the 16 million sold mark. Depending o...

It's safe to say that amiibo are very much a "hate it or love it" affair. You probably gave up in 2015. I don't blame you! But for those of you who are still faithful, I know your inner pain and outer joy. There's still plenty of amiibo to ...

Smash Ultimate is kicking off 2020 right with its Melee tournament, and now that this past weekend is over and done with, it's time for the new hotness. This weekend Nintendo is getting even wackier, taking the focus off of player...

Well, Nintendo finally did it: they acknowledged Melee. In a weird way, that is. As you all probably know (since I cover nearly all of them), Nintendo has been running weekly events for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for over a year now, w...

Masahiro Sakurai could retire now and have his legacy secured. I mean Super Smash Bros. Ultimate taking the top spot as the most successful fighting game of all time would have done it on its own, but a lot of people have forgotten that he ...

Reboots of beloved nostalgia mines are popping up every few months, but has anyone talked about a new Salute Your Shorts? If not, I'm proposing it here with the original kids as counselors, all grown up: so not a reboot actually, a full-on ...

Official Switch GameCube remotes can go for upward of $80. You know the drill. Nintendo releases a limited run of something, scalpers go crazy, Nintendo drags their feet on reprints and the world continues to turn. It's been a while since w...

So for the first anniversary of the greatest fighting game of all time, you'd expect a rip-roaring event, possibly even a new DLC reveal, right? Wrong! At least right now, Nintendo has announced that for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's first b...
