Ultimate destroyed sales records for the Switch. Child-friendly and nostalgic – the perfect combination Then a few dozen characters I’m not even familiar with, and even more to unlock. And a little dude from Animal Crossing, that’s cute. Hey, there’s the dude from Street Fighter and some character from some other game I don’t recognize. That’s about where the entertainment and excitement for this game end for me.
I have that tinge of nostalgia when I see a character selection screen full of characters from not only Nintendo classics but Sega and others. I played Super Mario Brothers and Zelda and all the classic games. But I will humor a child and play it alongside them, enduring the seizure-inducing graphical display. I would not waste a quarter on Super Smash Bros. Now, you are probably already typing that angry tweet how does this idiot, who never plays Nintendo games and is generally a year behind current gaming trends, have the gall to insult this very popular and fun game title that I love? While the only game I buy on release has the word FIFA in the game title, I still have a good library of games and have played every Mortal Kombat game since I had to slot quarters into the box to do so. This past week, I finally held a tiny Joy-Con in my hands as I sat down with a wildly energetic 15-year-old to play Super Smash Bros. I only recently touched a Sony Playstation, because of Spider-Man and even that game didn’t grab me.
I don’t play games on the PC because Microsoft Flight Simulator 4.0 pretty much broke me. I usually pick up games a year or so after release, and I’m a fierce Microsoft Xbox loyalist. When it comes to gaming, I’m usually late to the - excuse the pun - game.
