A new trailer has joined the battle! Nintendo has released a new gameplay trailer for the upcoming party fighting game Super Smash Bros Ultimate.
While this isn’t exactly on the same level of punch as your average Super Smash Bros reveal, it does shed some greater light on what players can expect from the gameplay itself. Lasting a little under a minute in length, the video quickly cuts between many of the already confirmed fighters for the game. It concludes by showing off some Final Smash attacks.
The first noteworthy thing I saw was that Kirby’s rock drop attack (down+B, down special, whatever you want to call it) can now transform the pink protagonist into a Shiekah Chest, from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. This makes almost no difference to the game mechanically, but it’s cool to see all the same.
The most noteworthy thing, however, was the Final Smash attacks. It shows off Pac Man, Bowser, Link, Ridley, and Mega Man. While a few are the same as they were in Smash 4, some have been changed. Game director Sakurai spoke previously about wanting to streamline the Final Smash process, after all. Pac Man now streaks across the screen rapidly and Bowser performs a powerful punch from behind the stage.
All in all, this is just something to remind us that Super Smash Bros Ultimate isn’t far away.
