    I don't own a Switch.
    I never got around to buy a Wii U.

    This was the first Nintendo direct I've seen (apart from that small one in Jan.)

    I've been floored by this announcement.
    Before, I was simply intrigued by the Switch.. But now, it is my duty to get one in the next year or two.
    Someone help me stand up again... :hushed:

    I was not expecting a new Super Smash Bros. so soon.

    A pity that some newcomers may not make it to the next game, mainly the Wii Fit Trainers that I main.

    Well we still don't know if this is a direct port or not.

    I think its going to be a weird port/new game hybrid. Im expecting it to be pretty much be the Wii U version but with a lot of new content like characters, stages, ect. And that it will probably have a "real" name instead of Smash Bros For Nintendo Switch. So I think Wii fit Trainer is probably safe to return

    Now that I think about it, it does seems a little too soon for a fresh new Smash game, so it's likely an extended cut no. 2 of the 4th game.

    The 3DS seems to be the minimal 'base' content, while the Wii U expands on the fourth title with more content. It's possible that the Switch may go even further, such as bringing back the Ice Climbers if the Switch port can handle 16 combatants on an 8-Player battle.

    I'd hate to be that person, but I'm also hoping for another series of balance patches, just to see if Wii Fit Trainer gets another buff in the future.

    I don't even play these games and I'm impressed. Konami was nice to let them use Classic Solid Snake especially. And Ridley looks awesome.

    So, aside from the most likely obvious answer (Snake), which characters are you guys excited to see return (that were not in Smash 4/DLC)?

  • RichWalk23RichWalk23

    Wolf was my main in Brawl, and I'm pleased to see him return in Ultimate to join Wii Fit Trainer as my mains.

    Wait a minute!

    Nobody told me my favorite stage from Brawl is returning! Spear Pillar!

    And Wuhu Island! (Still waiting on Wuhu Island battle royale, ok Nintendo?)

    ...which reminds me on a tangential note - the stage selection for Ultimate is gonna be nuts. They are bringing back around the ball park of 80-85 stages from all of the old games back. Previous speculation led people to think that *every* stage ever was going to return, but Nintendo staff confirmed that was not the case in various E3 interviews.

    Nevertheless, that's only like 30 stages in the entire series history that still remain unconfirmed, some of which are redundant from having multiple versions, 3DS exclusive gimmicks (where each player had their own screen), or a rumored restriction of giving each third party only one stage.

    Hold up Blind - we already have 83 stages! This stage collection is going to be crazy! The Wii U edition barely has half of that, with only 42!

    It's pretty neat to see the upresed 3DS stages.

    Maybe it's just me, but I really don't like Link's new non-BOTW look in Ultimate. I get that Nintendo is trying to emulate the NES games more then Ocarina of Time or Twilight Princess, but I wish we got TP Link as an alternate costume. The old design just looks so much better.
