Super Smash Bros Ultimate
£47.99, Nintendo Switch ★★★★
The beloved fighting game series that sees Nintendo’s most iconic characters duke it out in crazy free-for-alls has finally come to the Switch.
The goal here is to knock your opponents out of the arena. Enemies have a percentage chance of being knocked further – so a powerful attack on someone with 100% could knock them out but a person with 10% won’t move as far.
The game plays to the Switch’s strengths of quick pick up and play multiplayer battles with friends, but there’s enough on offer to keep single players busy too. While it does share a lot of DNA with its predecessors, Super Smash Bros Ultimate is a more evolved and polished version of the franchise.
With a dizzying array of customisation, modes, characters and levels, if you’re a Smash lover and beat ’em up fan, you owe it to yourself to get this.
