Since its release in 2018, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has become one of the must-own games on Nintendo Switch. The title features 89 playable characters spanning the history of the video game industry. While the majority of those characters are owned by Nintendo, the series has also embraced having guest characters from others companies, including Sonic the Hedgehog, Pac-Man, and Sora from Disney and Square Enix's Kingdom Hearts franchise. That many playable characters can make tournaments very interesting, because it can lead to unexpected favorites coming out on top.

The future of the Smash Bros. franchise is a big question for fans, at the moment. Sora was the final DLC character released for the game, and Nintendo has not announced any specific plans for future games. Nintendo has never released more than one original Smash Bros. game on a console, so fans will likely have to wait for the Switch's successor to see what the future holds. Until then, Smash fans will just have to be happy with the current game and the content that has been made available!

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is available exclusively on Nintendo Switch. You can check out all of our previous coverage of the game right here.
