Metroid Prime 4 might have been delayed, but that won't stop Nintendo from spotlighting Samus in the latest Super Smash Bros. Ultimate spirit event. Here are the details:
The three-day #SmashBrosUltimate spirit event "Metroidmania" starts on 28/06! Check your Spirit Board, because #Metroid characters are coming out of the walls! Defeat them in battle to earn more SP than usual.
As noted above it starts later this week and will run for three days and during this time you'll earn more SP than you normally would.
Will you be participating in this upcoming spirit event? Tell us down below.

I thought I read metriodvania. I was like no way! 😅
Missed opportunity to canonically has a Metroid x Castlevania event called Metroidvania.
Because I just realized they could do that.
Perfect excuse to put Smash Bros in my Switch again. Having said that, I don't know what is Nintendo waiting: either announce the rumored Metroid Prime Trilogy remaster once and for all or at the very least create a collection of the 2D games.
Federation Force robots for Smash confirmed, amirite?
Metroid Dread confirmed!
Cool... But for those of us who have already collected almost everything, these events mean little. New Spirits would be awesome.
@Seacliff i mean, the english translation of the event is clearly meant as a fun reference to that term, though it'd never be "canon" really since its a non-japanese, era specific (non port/remake Metroid and Castlevnia havent fit that term in a long time), fan made word for a genre more synonymous with western indie games these days.
@SmileMan64 The last event, Link’s Awakening, had two new spirits. But yeah, a few new Metroid spirits would indeed be rad 💁♂️
@RobotReptile Argh! I check the announcement stories for these events every week to see if there are any new spirits are getting added, and I swear they never mentioned any for the last event. Last new one I saw was Peachette. My spirit collection isn’t complete after all, I’ve been living a lie for weeks!
To be fair haven't played Smash since Joker came out, will wait until Banjo comes out, as there seemed to be a lot more than just the character in that direct (looked a little like a bit more story mode to me)
@Bunkerneath really though, everyones style is different. You're not going to connect with every or even most characters.
Thats why some of these tournament regulars that change their main to whatever is the top of the tiers doesnt work they force themselves to use a character even if that character doesnt match them.
any event exlucive spirits?
Since I like Metroid, it's an excellent opportunity to obtain any Metroid spirits that I don't have.
At this point, I'm more in need of something like X3 gold. I've less than a 100 spirits to go but loads of mii costumes, music and a couple of spirits that I can't seem to get on the board or summon.
@AranBogard If Prime Trilogy for Switch is real, it likely got delayed by the same amount of time as Prime 4.
@Seacliff
Yes I read it as Metroidvania at first and thought the same
Kids: What’s a Metroid?
Nintendo: Team Metroid Space Racing!
How many of these exclusive Spirits can I get in one day? How many of you guys got them all in one day?
