Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Review Thread

Seems like it's quantity over quality and it gets boring pretty quickly. It's similar to the single-player modes in Dragon Ball FighterZ and Soul Calibur VI.
Fighting games...stop doing this!
Outside of a few neat "Oh damn, they included that character?!" moments it's basically just a really long event mode
They straight up said it was not going to be anything like Subspace. They literally had a big text on the screen saying the mode would prioritize fun over story!
That's honestly not so bad then, and the fact that it already isn't setting out to be anything like Subspace means that the adventure mode seems like a good pace breaker in between most of everything else that's on offer.
Most of what I hated about Smash 4 was that there wasn't really much to do between the average Smash battle outside of farming for trophies (i.e grinding more of the terrible classic mode) or Crazy Orders. With this I can at least pop up world of light and unlock some more stuff on the map and do more Spirit Battles. I actually dig that kind of setup for a single player mode, reminds me a bit of Hyrule Warriors.
Sounds like what I want and what Sakura said it would be. He said it's not Subspace and story was not the focus.
Very true and that's certainly not a good thing but I'm still excited to have a long single player.
The actual spirit battles is what's so fun. Hundreds and hundreds of customized battles where they try to represent obscure game characters from across game history with tools in the game. Almost every example I've seen so far has been hilarious.
WoL just puts some extra context around it and a cool looking world map.

Exactly what I was hoping to hear. It'll be fun to jump in and out of throughout 2019.
That's an odd argument... if a game promises to be a piece of shit and achieves that goal, would it be 10's across the board? It can be the ultimate anything and still not get 10's across the board.
sorry it's 10/10 for me without having even played it
monument to video games could be no lower

Gotta be negative about something apparently. Otherwise people might be happy about something.
World of Light is perfect for pick up and play on the go to. You can get some fights in here and there.
Will Nintendo be able to recover if this is a below 90 or will they replace the switch with another console asap?
I enjoyed world of light.
It has light puzzles while not hard were a welcome way to break up the traversal of the map, homages to many games are included in the details of the world, and I liked collecting the best spirits and making my team suit my playstyle.
I was 18 hours to complete without 100%, but I did go back to get 100%.

You can do a new game+ and I that carries over the spirits you collected, I also didn't have 1200 when I 100% so you need to re do the map in new game to get them all or do the spirit board
WoL sounds like something that should not be completed in a couple of sittings (something I assume reviewers would have to do to get reviews out on time). Repetitive if you play for 10 hours+ in one go but good if you play for an hour or 2.
I'm actually surprised that it's only on Page 5 after 30 minutes of reviews dropping
They will quickly replace the TGA Metroid Prime 4 trailer with one for Grinch DLC in a desperate attempt to turn things around.
Yeh. I understand why Andre got tired of it. It's harder for reviewers.
That sounds a bit disappointing. Was hoping for a great SP story mode to give this series a try.
The scores are very good anyway.
Having no descriptions about these characters kinda hurts the removal of trophies it for me. I don't really know many of these obscure characters, so only knowing the name/game series and type of spirit battle makes it difficult to understand the characters.
I played Ever Oasis 3DS on the premise that I can beat the game in under 15 hours. I was wrong. Spent 80 hours on the game in a span of 2 months.
I think a 20-hour total session is fine for me.
Omni: "You probably expect me to say X, but that's NOT what I'm going to sat!"
*Says X by the end of the video*
LOL. As an aside, he's keeps messing up the number of years between Smash entries :P
Thank you. The man said it. It's NOT SUBSPACE EMISSARY.
Did you watch the same direct everyone else did?
Event mode is one of the best thing in smash so, this makes me happy. Seems like something to take your time with
They? There's more than one Fosko?!
World of Light seemed tedious to me since its initial trailer. Still, it's just one more mode among the lot of modes we have on our disposition to play in this gigantic game. I simply see it as it is: if it gets boring, I'll play some online tournament or something.
Question: it's World of Light the quickest way to unlock characters?
Nobody does reviews like that though. Well, not any good review anyway. If it gets tens across the board, because it's better than all the games before it in the series, what happens if/when the next one is better? Do we retroactively dock ultinate points for no longer being ultimate? or do we move to an 11 point scale? or do we just give all smash Bros games 10s in perpetuity, making reviews entirely pointless?
Being better than the prior games in the series isn't and shouldn't be a guarantee of a higher or perfect score.
Then why reveal it with a trailer that would make people think it is exactly that? It was very bad messaging
