Today's Fighter - #62: Corrin
Corrin was available as a downloadable fighter in the previous version of Super Smash Bros. This fighter uses all kinds of unique attacks, like Torrential Roar and Dragon Fang Shot. You can choose male or female versions!
Smash Bros. Ultimate was the main focus of Nintendo's E3 2018 presentation. Did the game steal the show, or was it information overload?

Legendary game worlds and fighters collide in the ultimate showdown—a new entry in the Super Smash Bros. series for the Nintendo Switch system! New fighters, like Inkling from the Splatoon series and Ridley from the Metroid series, make their Super Smash Bros. series debut alongside every Super Smash Bros. fighter in the series…EVER! Faster combat, new items, new attacks, new defensive options, and more will keep the battle raging whether you’re at home or on the go.
Today's Fighter - #15: Ice Climbers
Back in the battle after a ten-year absence! There are two of them, so does that make them twice as strong as other fighters?
Still pretty crazy to see Ridley become a reality in Smash Bros. after all these years. I can't even imagine how excited the team was to bring this character to the roster.
Here's what we thought after our first go on Nintendo's "biggest gaming crossover of all time".
Today's Fighter - #03: Link
Link has been redesigned to match his appearance in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. He can now pick up arrows he's fired, and his bombs have been upgraded to remote bombs, so you can set them off when the timing is just right!

I know people are obsessed with figuring out if Smash Bros. Ultimate is a completely new game or a port. I don't know why people worry about this kind of thing, but it is what it is. If you want to know what the creator of Smash Bros. himself has to say on the matter, he shares his thoughts in his latest Famitsu column. Check out the translation below, courtesy of Source Gaming.
First, I was faced with a decision: create a completely new game system, or build off of pre-existing ones. I went with the latter; had I not, we might have ended up with only a third of the fighters we have now. Some people might still end up preferring an earlier title, but I decided to put that thought aside for later and focus on the more important tasks at hand.
Wondering just when work on Smash Bros. Ultimate started? Sakurai goes on to say that the first proposal for the game was brought up in Dec. 2015. At this time, the Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS team was still working on DLC for those games!
