Today, during a brand-new Nintendo Direct, Nintendo revealed that Banjo-Kazooie, the game's third DLC character previously announced at E3, is now available to download. Yes, that's right, the character from yesteryear is available to use today. Meanwhile, Nintendo also revealed that Terry Bogard from Fatal Fury will be the next game's next DLC fighter. But that's not all. Nintendo also confirmed more DLC characters are now coming than just five. How many exactly, hasn't been divulged, but expect at least a few more.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is available on the Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo Switch only.

In recent and related news, two Nickelodeon artists have created the ultimate crossover of all-time: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate x Nickelodeon characters.

"Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has so much meaningful content that it's easy to forget it's a fighting game at its core, but at least one fact rings true just a few days after the game's release: 'Ultimate' is a fitting – and perhaps the only – way to describe Nintendo's biggest Smash Bros. experience to date," reads the opening of our official review of the game.

"Between a robust single-player component that Super Smash Bros. for Wii U sorely lacked and the ever-present competitive modes like VS and online play, there's a lot to unpack in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. More than 50 hours of gameplay have given some insight into the game's many modes, and it's evident that the hype around the fighting game was absolutely warranted."
