Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Review Thread

Wut... So, this just happened:
And moments ago I saw 93 with 18 reviews, just like you did...
JeuxActu gave it an 80, citing it as more of a Deluxe version than a Switch-specific production (which, while we know that's not the case, could end up being a common sentiment).
It's a smash bros game, don't even think reviews matter. At this point you're either interested or your not
Nintendo Insider got theirs up

As a series probably. I think the highest fighting game is a Soul Caliber game.

If you keep refreshing it goes back and forth.
Saying it's a deluxe port is disrespectful to Sakurai when it is clearly not. Other criticisms fine, this one is not a good criticism. Complaints about everything else are called for.
Surprised by these scores as they've barely shown anything of the game. We're going in practically blind.
Same outlet gave 85/100 to the Diablo III port for Switch, and 85/100 to the Spyro remake.
And I'm not sure how a lengthy adventure mode doesn't qualify as "completely different" for them.
I see we are already trying to pick out the negative shit from these reviews...
Anyway, as expected, great scores and should settle in the low to mid 90's.

Yeah, ah well, right now I'm seeing 94 after 24 reviews, so they probably updated the score but not the reviews yet or something.
I don't have a specific number. I think the battery usage is close to Zelda.
The most significant addition to Ultimate, however, lies in its single-player content. Ultimate once again features a Classic Mode where each individual fighter has their own unique ladder of opponents to defeat, but the bigger deal is World of Light, Ultimate's surprisingly substantial RPG-style campaign. It's a convoluted setup--beginning as Kirby, you go on a long journey throughout a huge world map to rescue Smash's other fighters (who have incidentally been cloned in large numbers) from the big bad's control.
Though there is some light puzzling, the world is naturally filled with hundreds upon hundreds of fights--there are over 1200 Spirit characters, and the vast majority have their own unique battle stages that use the game's match variables to represent their essence. The Goomba Spirit, for example, will put you up against an army of tiny Donkey Kongs. Meanwhile, the Excitebike Spirit might throw three Warios at you who only use their Side+B motorbike attacks.
It may seem like a tenuous idea at first, but these fights are incredibly entertaining. It's hard not to appreciate the creativity of using Smash's assets to represent a thousand different characters. Zero Suit Samus might stand in for a battle with The Boss from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater by donning a silver-palette costume and fighting you in a flower-filled Final Destination, but she also stands in for the spirit of Alexandra Roivas from Eternal Darkness by using a black-palette costume and fighting you in the haunted Luigi's Mansion stage, with a modifier that makes the screen occasionally flip upside down (Eternal Darkness was a GameCube horror game whose signature feature were "Sanity Effects", which skewed the game in spooky ways to represent the character's loosening grip on reality). If I knew the character, I often found myself thinking about how clever their Spirit battle was.

I'm not saying you'll love it or I'll love it, but I'll go in with a open mind. Gamespot seemed to enjoy it.
Ultimate has managed to erase most of my nitpicks with the franchise while apparently nailing the gameplay. Going to be interesting when we get to the sequel when it happens.
I don't even care about that JeuxActu score but I hate that they say: "If you don't like the IP this won't be a must have".
Like, no sh*t? I hate when reviews do that.
MOST people do.

Gamexplain saying world of light gets boring and is long
Maybe smash 6 will give us a good single player adventure mode

Lasts around 40 hours and Andre got fed up after the initial 10
If anything, changing it up so much every game is hurting them.
Don't try and reinvent the wheel.
Favorite review quote so far, lol.
40 HOURS, FUCK. ME.
I can't find the actual review. I can only find that one quote on Metacritic.
As always you choose to see what you want to see and ignore everything else. It's pretty impressive actually.
Also, why isn't Inkling in the middle?Oh boy, I'm predicting a score of 95 once it's all done.
Why is Piranha Plant so tiny compared to everyone else? The fuck is wrong with you, Muzy?
