It's become a tradition for Nintendo to release new spirits in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate whenever the latest game arrives, and this time around it's no different. To celebrate the launch of Animal Crossing: New Horizons on the Switch, there'll be a total of four new themed spirits up for grabs later this week.
As you can see, there's C.J., Orville and Wilbur, Daisy Mae, and Flick. This event starts this Friday on 3rd April and will run for a total of five days. Will you be participating? Let us know.

Not surprised to be honest.
I will not believe anything today
On the off-chance this isn't a calendar-related prank, that's interesting, & there's a small part of me that misses trophies. Sprits are basically the replacement, & it allows for Nintendo to stuff more in the game, since those are not 3d models.
Also, the Bunny Day event started in Animal Crossing.
@Capt_N I miss the descriptions that came with trophies. Plus I'm not a fan of the weird ethereal effect on all the spirit images.
@FineLerv @Capt_N With you guys there, trophies are better and I'd rather have less trophies than more spirits.
Hardly missed any spirit events so must put a reminder in for this one.
Can't wait for this spirit event.
@FineLerv : Same. I don't mind that the spirits aren't 3D models like previous entries (especially considering the sheer quantity of them!), but I too miss the little historical tidbits that complemented the trophies, especially as so many of them are from obscure/Japan exclusive IP.
@wazlon I have heard, but do not actually know for myself, that there are easily up to hundreds of spirits in-game.
@FineLerv For purposes of screenshots, it would have been nice if there was a toggle for that. (There is a toggle for text, in the Spirit inventory/list viewer.) There have been times where I wanted a screenshot of the spirit without it. On the flipside, a lot of the spirits are keyart of their respective games, & series, which means some stuff should be easy to find the high quality original online.
@Capt_N I think there's around 1200-1300 spirits in Smash ultimate.
@wazlon That's... a lot of collecting...
@Capt_N Think I've collected around 800 at the moment. You collect them through adventure mode and there's Spirit Board mode too which I found quite addictive. It doesn't take as long as you might think to collect them.
@wazlon Thanks for the tips.
@Capt_N "For purposes of screenshots, it would have been nice if there was a toggle for that."
I don't even want to look at my collection as long as there is that gaudy aura around them. 😢
@Silly_G "I too miss the little historical tidbits that complemented the trophies."
I learnt all my Nintendo trivia from Smash Bros trophies. We were probably in the minority reading through them but I still hold my breath for an epic patch where they return.
