Official Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Website Goes Live With Videos, Music And Daily Updates

But the question is.......When Goku Smash -_-

I can't wait, and it looks to have been revamped enough to make it more of a competitive splash than previous entries.

Really hope they sell that picture with the whole roster as a poster, would buy it without question!

Clicking on the banner will bring you to the fighter page. Man they spent A LOT of time designing this website, I'm impressed.

And I'll be checking it every day to see if the release date gets delayed.

I still say this was a "Subspace Emissary HD" troll move though.

Smash is finally big enough for Ridley.

They should add the Teddy Together bear to Smash, complete with its creepy "bear-rilliant" text-to-speech voice.

Even though Nintendo usually makes really nice websites, I gotta say this one is above and beyond. Really well made.

One of my favorite parts about the release of the past to Smash games were those daily updates. I’m so glad they are doing them again. Though they’ve already revealed so much in terms of characters in stages, so I don’t expect too many surprises. I hope I’m wrong.

The arrangement for 'Vega' for Street Fighter is amazing! Can't wait for them to showcase the Splatoon tracklist.

Definitely Splattack, Ink Me Up, Now or Never, and Ebb and Flow are going to be included. Question is, which one will be remixed?!?!

@rjejr

I actually could see it coming as Ridley, just cause Samus was front and center and it had that lonely Metroid feel. I don't think Nintendo could ever troll us as badly as Animal Crossing on Wii U — as amiibo festival back in 2015.

What I don't get is that the website says 66 characters in total, while the number of characters (same website) is now at 65. What a tease.

That new Brinstar Depths remix is metal! Finally Metroid gets some good music, Smash 4 really wasn't kind to that series.

@MoonKnight7 I bought AC:aF recently for $5 at bankrupt Toys R Us. The trolling only truly begins after you buy that game. There are 4 or 5 minigames you can't play. I bought the game to play that isnland game but I can't play the games. I even played a full board game but I still can't access the minigames. Apaprnelty I have to kepe playing boring board games to earn credits to buy the minigames I bought the game to play. That is a game in dire need of a patch and update to unlock the stuff I purchased.

Also some of the mniigames appear to need 6 cards but the game only came w/ 3. Not buying more cards for games I need to unlock. If they really wanted me to buy more cards they should have made those games unlocked from the beginning.

What a disaster. And I'm not even an AC fan so it not being an AC game didn't bother me at all. Oh, and you can play the board game w/o an amiibo, but that person doesn't get any daily points so they can't win. That's so freakin stupid. I think we know why Wii U failed. Bad games all around.

@rjejr

I never played it, but I certainly believe you. Sounds awful. To be fair, the Wii U was dead at that point, and this was really just Nintendo kicking us while we were down. I still believe amiibos only came into existence to act as a band-aid on a failing system. Animal Crossing amiibos took this idea a bit too far.

@MoonKnight7 "I still believe amiibos only came into existence to act as a band-aid on a failing system."

They must have been planning amiibo while they were planning Wii U though to play such a large role in SSBforU (gotta keep typing "for" now.) and more importantly they built an NFC reader into the Gamepad. Btu amiibo were never about gameplay, just money. They aren't toys-to-life, they are Funko Pop collectibles w/ a chip that does almost nothing.

@rjejr

Not necessarily though, didn't Skylanders use the NFC reader as well? Tell me if I'm wrong, I don't own any. I mean, maybe they always planned on putting amiibos on the system, but I think the NFC reader was put in place, at least initially, because toys to life were hitting their stride at the time. Ubisoft for example flirted with the idea of using the NFC reader for Rayman Legends.

But I do think that when Wii U sales started tanking and Iwata was reluctant on getting into the smart phone market, he pushed amiibos hard and got them out with Smash to calm investors down.

@MoonKnight7 We own all of the toys to life. Well not all as in every single toy, but DI, Skylanders, Lego and amiibo. My basement is a toys-to-life store. And I can 100% say no toy other than amiibo has ever worked with the Gamepad NFC reader. Well 2 of the SKylanders did, DK and Bowser, but, and it's an important but, you have to spin the bottom of the toys so turn them into amiibo, otherwise they are Skylanders and wont' be recognized. And then you have to turn them back to use as Skylanders. All of the toys use differnet NFC reader tech I guess.

I dont' know if the 3DS reader works, we never bought one of those, but the Skylander games came w/ portals for the 3DS. Dont' think DI or Lego were ever on 3DS.

So I'm 99% sure the Gamepad NFC was made for amiibo, it's the only toy they work with.

@rjejr

Fair enough, I don't own any other than amiibos so I can take your word for it. Yeah I guess the tech was different, but I know Ubisoft flirted with the idea but never went through with it. Could be that they had to use specific chips and maybe they were too expensive or something, who knows.

@MoonKnight7 "Ubisoft flirted with the idea but never went through with it."

Well they are going through with it now with Starlink but my best guess is they will regret it. The Switch version will sell well with Starfox, even with the mandatory 15GB download, but I don't think it will sell well on Xbox or PS4. And even Switch owners won't spend a lot on the other accessories. they'll all be in the half price bins by April next year.

@rjejr

Oh I agree completely. Toys to life are on the downward curve and have pretty much run their course. This is kinda a missed the boat example. That's why Disney Infinity cut it's losses and got out of the business, and they have tons of characters and franchises to use. The market just got too bloated and people are tired of it. I'm interested in getting it (not totally sure though), but I wouldn't buy any of the toys that's for sure.

This is giving me nostalgia for the Brawl website when Sakurai posted updates a couple times a week each time with a new item, character, stage, or song. That was the best, constantly getting new info...

if you look at the moving picture of all the fighters Mr. Saturn is there as a fighter as well.

The banner looks awesome, as does the box-art. Also, nice new music-remixes.
