Nintendo Switch has proven to be a sales juggernaut for Nintendo, outselling every other video game console for the last 24 months. It’s a safe bet that a lot of people received the console as a gift over the holidays, prompting the Nintendo UK Twitter account to ask fans what games they would recommend to newcomers. Unsurprisingly, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate topped many lists, causing the game to trend across social media. Nintendo’s fighting game is easily one of the most popular on the platform, and DLC fighters have helped maintain that interest more than two years after its release. With three playable characters yet to be revealed as part of the Fighter’s Pass Vol. 2 DLC pack, it seems like interest in the game won’t slow down any time soon!

Since Super Smash Bros Ultimate is trending: I want to remind the Smash community that the Results theme from Brawl is the best one and discarding it was a mistake.

You guys can’t be scaring me by making Super Smash Bros Ultimate trending. I immediately thought, “What horrible thing has Nintendo done now.” Who am I kidding, it is only a matter of time before they do something stupid. pic.twitter.com/sdhETg6ACZ
