The news just keeps coming! It has been revealed that a limited edition of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will be available at retail alongside the game's standard December launch, featuring some extra goodies for us all to enjoy.
Yes, if you're a sucker for a gorgeous limited edition box like us, you'll no doubt be drooling over this newly-announced physical edition. This package contains a copy of the game, a Nintendo GameCube Controller - Super Smash Bros. edition, and a Nintendo GameCube Controller adapter.
There's no news just yet on how much this will set you back, but we imagine it'll be worth it for anyone who is wanting to relive that classic GameCube Smash experience.
Will you be treating yourself to one of these? Let us know with a comment below.

Of course NA doesn't get this.
...I just want that box. Or a poster.
...They just announced it...give NOA some time before you sharpen the pitchforks y'all.
YES PLEASE!!
I hope it includes a figurine, amiibo or something to set it apart from buying the game, controller and adaptor seperately. Box is nice, but is that alone worth considering this?
No word on this being released in the US? Lame -_-
Holy crap, this thing is going to sell through the roof! If I didn't already own a Switch, I would totally hold out for this!
Does the adapter say Wii U?
Great bundle
Nice of Nintendo to announce this when I ordered this exact package as separate pieces when pre-orders opened a while back. Hopefully they will upgrade such orders to the Limited edition otherwise it smacks of punishing those who were excited about the game early.
Already something similar on Amazon UK:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Super-Smash-Bros-Ultimate-Nintendo/dp/B07FK92RZP/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1533739931&sr=8-2&keywords=smash&th=1
Also has one with 2 controllers
I need it! Even though I already have smash preordered and a couple adaptors and controllers from the gamecube and Wii u era
Please make this available in America. I would gladly pay for this.
I'm guessing the equivalent of $119.99 US based on $60 for the game, $40 for the controller, $20 for the adaptor.
May be $150 on eBay as they won't make enough.
Looks good but this is a game I want digitally. Generally I prefer singleplayer games physical and multiplayer digital.
@BanjoPickles There's no Switch in the box so you're good.
Oh wait, I thought that this was a Switch bundle! My mistake!
Looks super cluttered and bulky to me. Unless that’s a paper sleeve round the box?
Honestly none of the assets are bespoke so this is a 10-30min job to put this together. It feels less ‘special’ and more ‘bundle’ to me.
Veeeery nice, although I already have the adapter and controller, so I think I'll skip this edition.
American announcement? Price?
Meh. I'd rather just buy that poster separate. I've already go a pro controller, and i've been playing 4 with a wiiu pro controller. i stopped using gamecube controllers a long time ago.
I just want the gamecube controller. But I want the game downloadable only... I wonder if I should get both...
I already have the official controller and adapter so this is kinda meh to me.
@Arpie Just cancel your preorders and get this instead?
Cool, I already have the gamecube controller and adapter for the Wii U, so I'll pass on this.
Looks fantastic, hope it comes out in NA. Great way to finally get a Smash Controller and Adapter.
@rjejr
Awesome! Then I'm in!
i hope that is comes to USA,
Yea, I never understood why certain regions don't get stuff that CLEARLY has broad appeal. We don't know for sure, but IF the U.S. doesn't get this - why not?!!?
@Indielink more than likely will do but this just opens up the possibility of cancelling one for another and not getting either! I've been stung by such issues before so I'm weary. It's just frustrating that Nintendo couldn't get their act together to sort this out before opening pre-orders.
oh boy...
What does the box art tell us about additional characters? It already has K Rool on there. Is that it for new fighters?
Nothing really to get excited about, it's a box.....
Will Nintendo sell this box on its own too? I 'member Splatoon.
@RedMageLanakyn
Try telling that to my cats. They're pre-ordering it right now. 😊
Yes, but when is the Ultimate Limited Mega Edition coming to NA??
Game, controller, adapter, & Smash Bros. Switch System.
Glad I held off on adapter and controller. Will get this for sure.
Real unique goodies are missing, I am talking concept art book, soundtrack, even a nice full color manual is seen as special today. But indeed that box looks good except for the larger than life USK logo. Why isn't PEGI enough for Europe?
Why not including all 5(?) new amiibo?
I have the Wii U adaptor will that work with the Switch?
@Ooyah Ok you've got a point there, this is a cat condo!
Hopefully this is for NA too.
most importantly can we zoom in on the poster and figure out who hasn't been announced yet?
I need to know when I can preorder!
Forget the GameCube controller, I have enough of those. I wan't Hori RAP stick support!
This isn't really a limited edition at all, and I have been purposely waiting to preorder Smash for a special edition of sorts to pop up.
Hopefully NA gets something with actual special bonuses rather than a bundle.
? Did you guys not see the box for Xenoblade Chronicles 2? Now that was an impressible box!
Also - wouldn't it be funny if it didn't come with the adapter? I love how they list that like its an extra bonus
Add in a soundtrack of ALL 900 songs and my wallet will spew forth in your general direction, Nintendo! Seriously, this is going to be the most epic videogame music compilation ever to grace a single product!
@chiptoon It comes with the adapter.
Where's the poster? Missed opportunity!
That's a bundle, not a limited edition.
I'll grab the regular and a controller. Already got the adapter from Smash 4.
Now we just need Super Smash Bros Ultimate - Ultimate Collectors Edition.
Will contain the game and ALL amiibo.
Payable in installments
That looks beautiful! But they should have put the contents on the side of the box, not the front. Ruins the aesthetics.
So... Is It Dec 12 Or Dec 7th?
Good idea for a new bundle for Christmas and continuing to gather Switch sales. This is a cool bundle.
Yeah I'll get it if I can since I plan on getting those accessories anyway. Only have 2 GameCube controllers right now.
Still kind of debating getting this game though. I still have my GC, and I'm not really a huge smash player anyway.
Goes without saying really but I am going to have to get this.
K Roll amiibo would be awesome
Does this mean there are no more characters to announce? Sakurai said everyone would be shown before release.
I have Gamecube controllers in SPADES and I'm not even kidding, so I don't need the bundle, but I STILL NEED THAT DAMN GAMECUBE ADAPTER! Time for me to go on the hunt yet again for one. Hopefully they will be reprinted and sold separately.
What I want... Gamecube Joy-cons
@MeloMan amazon 19.99
Does anyone know if this box is going to come out with the bundle on gamestop? It's online only and has been listed since June. Its 110 so that's the price this probably is
Link here https://m.gamestop.com/product/nintendo-switch/games/super-smash-bros-ultimate-gamecube-controller-and-adapter-bundle/164546
@NIN10DOXD in the direct he confirmed theres some left. We still have 4 more months
I feel like The Switch Pro is comfortable enough.
@Arpie SO preorder the special edition right now.
HELL YEAH!
Why yes, yes I will. Who cares where it releases, its region free. Maybe more for shipping, but if you are getting this I’m pretty sure you aren’t strapped for cash anyway. It won’t be cheap.
Unless it includes SOMETHING extra, like an art book or soundtrack, it's not worth losing out on my 20% discount for my Smash preorder.
I want a real special edition, with steel book and art book and all that.
ity'll most likely come to the states as well just be patient like me besides its better to know its price as well.
Why is this even limited edition? This should be made widely available! There should have been 3 editions:
1) Standard game
2) Game + Controller + Adapter
3) Limited edition: Game + Controller + Adapter + Artbook + Soundtrack CD + Steelbook case
I'll get it just for the box not the controllers....that to me is a non-starter since it has no options built into like the Pro Controller. But I'll take a stab for it though if the price isn't outrageous.
And can you use the Wii U adapter? The text doesn't explain.
@lateral_centro
yes it does. unfortunately...
they need to make a version of the GameCube controller adapter for the Nintendo Switch. maybe one with screenshot and home menu button(s)
Looks like they photoshopped out the unannounced fighters on the box, well played !!
@Arpie No, it doesn't. You order the new one and then cancel the old And ofc you don't order it on Amazon, as they are and always have been extremely notorious for cancelling confirmed orders. Instead, you use one of the trustworthy smaller retailers.
The box needs to be that big to fit the USK logo on
I’m a sucker for special/limited editions would like to know the price tho.
Has anyone seen the Toki special edition with a wooden arcade cabinet for the switch I think I will have to get that as well
Soundtrack CD? American release? Nintendo???
@reno117 yes the adapter is the same for Wii U & Switch
@Blizzia I've had problems with pretty much every online store with regards to pre-orders at one time or another. Currently my Smash order sits with Nintendo themselves.
@Indielink Don't think pre-orders for it are open yet, not that I have seen anywhere.
Ultimate Switch pack!
Haven't seen this for Canada yet but I have the contents of this limited edition individually pre-ordered through Amazon so I'm covered.
@lateral_centro
That's a good question...
