#37. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (Switch, 2018)
Not really sure what I can say about Smash at this point! I think as the years had gone on I got more and more tired of it, though this one certainly rejuvenated me on it, so its on the list! The online is finally at a point where it MOSTLY works well, though the latency is still a major issue, Nintendo gonna Nintendo.

Putting pretty much everything from every game feels like Smashs natural conclusion, and its a good send off if it is, with the occasional DLC splattered in but Im sure theyll try to release a new one anyway in some amount of years.

Still, its a great sign that so many characters are fun to play as. Even the ones that arent are still fun to play. We can say yeah we dont like playing as Ryu or whatever, but its still fun! Its just clearly less fun than a lot of the other incredibly fun characters.

The game is so timeless, the concept has barely changed since 2001, just tweaks to the mechanics, adding more stages, characters, itemsmaybe give em some super moves. And yet it still remains fun to play after all this time. Its pretty much the ultimate party game, the ultimate game to play with friends I dont touch the competitive scene but I guess its there if you want it and has so much customization with music, or the Miis you want to make, or Amiibos, or item frequency, or whatever all of that. Good. By the way, I personally am a low or off item fan, if you werent already aware, because I think its more fun to explore each characters unique move set and using those is fun. Once you add in items, it makes all characters on more similar ground, since all characters have access to these items. But hey, to each their own!

This games single player mode was eh at best. Its neat to see their interpretation of how to represent historic video game characters using only Smash characters, colors, items, and rules, and they do a really good job with it. But ultimately it comes down to a massive ton of single player battles. Nothing wrong with Classic mode! Adventure Mode in Melee was great, and Subspace had fun cutscenes, and even the 3DS one had its fun platformer thing. Wii U and Ultimate here have been a dropoff in that regard.



Anyway. Its smash. Its great! Ok!

Next up: Overheard from me in this game more than any other game "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT????"
