Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (Switch)

If Smash Bros. Ultimate has a fault, it's the same as its strength: there's just so much here that it's impossible for anyone to take in, and in the early hours especially it's an overwhelming experience, with little work done to guide new players in. Maybe even Smash needs a little more editorial oversight than this, but at least you can't ever accuse Nintendo of shortchanging its fans.

A wealth of tweaks and new additions like the World of Light campaign help to keep Ultimate from feeling like a greatest-hits retread.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is Smash Bros. done right, and done bigger than ever before.

Ultimate's diverse content is compelling, its strong mechanics are refined, and the encompassing collection is simply superb.

I've used phrases that evoke the monumental achievement that is Super Smash Bros. Ultimate a few times in this review and I can assure you it's not hyperbolic. Despite that a lot of the old content isn't as hard-hitting the second, third, fourth, or even fifth time around, the fact that it's all here, and in a manageable file size, is more than enough. After this (and Geno/Waluigi DLC) Sakurai can rest easy.
