Nintendo Reiterates Just How Big Super Smash Bros Ultimate Is

Nintendo just had a major release in Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee, but it can’t rest on its laurels right now, because in just over two weeks, Super Smash Bros Ultimate will arrive on Nintendo Switch, and with it, the arrival of one of the biggest fighting games of this generation, and definitely the biggest fighting game in Smash Bros history. It’s so big that Nintendo had to hold a special press event to cover some things that were happening in the game.

For example, the game has so much crossover in it that you can create the most insane scenarios:

“You can have Pac-Man throw a Pokéball at Pikachu and have Marth punch Donkey Kong in the face while Yoshi runs around pooping everyone’s eggs in a Castlevania stage,” JC Rodrigo of the Nintendo Treehouse said. “It’s like this giant crossover.”

But it’s not just that, it’s the fact that there are so many stages in the game that you can play with any of the characters on numerous levels that refer to many characters.

“There’s over 100 hundred different stages in the game and they range from all different types of video game franchises,” Rodrigo said. “Pretty much every fighter has a stage they can call their own…There’s also different forms of each stage so there’s technically over 300 stages.” With a new preset, players can go from one stage to another in the middle of a game, a setting put in place before a game begins. “You can play multiple stages at one time.”

And let’s not forget about the music!

“The whole thing about music, over 900 tracks in the game sounds silly, what game has 900 tracks? It sounds kinda weird but I will say it’s pretty sweet,” Rodrigo enthused. “Take a look at who is writing those!”

The whole game is big, and you’ll see just how big when it releases on December 7th.
