Ultimateis one of the most well-known crossover fighting games developed by Bandai Namco Studios and Sora Ltd., and players can control a wide variety of characters from Nintendo’s catalog during arena fights, including Link, Pikachu, and even third-partyFinal Fantasycharacters.
Being one of the most popular fighting games in Japan and across the world, theSuper Smash Bros.creator was given an honorary awardby the Japanese government recently, celebrating his contribution to video game development. TheSuper Smash Bros.series has delivered five entries thus far, beginning in 1999, offeringMelee,Brawl, and versions for the Nintendo 3DS and the Wii U.
Posted on the Nintendo support page, the publisher confirmed the Version 13.0.4 update had been deployed on June 24, following the publisher’s promise to fix agame-breaking Mii Fighters bug inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate’s Switch 2 version. Once again, the small patch addressed another issue with Mii Fighters' thumbnails, and also offered a fix plaguing the Nintendo Switch 2 system Version 20.1.5. The lastSuper Smash Bros. Ultimateupdate was released back in October 2024, and considering the size of this patch, another update might not appear for a while.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimateis one of severalgames that punish the player for being too good at it, joining the likes ofResident Evil 4,Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo, and Nintendo’s very ownMario Kart 8 Deluxe, but the loyal community of fans appreciated the technical support.
