Ridley plays like a dream distilled from fans’ imaginations. And they were sure as hell worth the wait.
“It’d have to be shrunk down, or its wings reduced in size, or be unable to fly around freely,” he said. That demand became a meme when, in 2014, Smash director Masahiro Sakurai told IGN that Ridley, an enormous and evil dragon, had not been playable in any Smash games because it was too big and, therefore, it would not make sense in Smash. Rool ( Donkey Kong Country) and Ridley ( Metroid). In polls conducted by fans prior to 2014’s Smash 4 for the Wii U and 3DS, fans furiously demanded King K. Then, like the dad in A Christmas Story pulling out that BB gun, Smash Ultimate introduces fighters that players have been requesting for years. When you first boot up the game, that roster includes only original Smash fighters, some tweaked and balanced with an updated feel. This ecumenical approach is most immediately apparent in the game’s roster. Aside from that, each has more complicated and individualized moves, like shooting a laser gun, breathing fire, or gleefully bouncing you off a wrestling ring rope with enough force to hurl you around the stage. There are a total of 76 fighters who can all jump, grab, do damage, and dodge. Up to eight players can play at a time locally. Ultimate is a “platform fighter.” That means it’s a multiplayer game with several characters, called fighters, who battle it out on platforms, called stages. Pushing Smash Ultimate’s perplexingly silly side-modes aside, it is a tremendous game that will hit the ground hot and running to meet, and satisfy, most everyone’s excitement for it when it lands on Nintendo Switch this week. For serious-minded players, Nintendo is offering one of its most most fine-tuned, precise, and technically deep iterations of a game that has grown an exuberant grassroots esports scene. An overwhelming abundance of Nintendo memorabilia, including every character that has appeared in any previous game in the series, will satisfy Nintendo-heads who might appreciate a sweeping tour of their childhood fandoms. Smash Ultimate’s long arms reach for the furthest extremes of the varied and beautiful community of Smash players, pulling everyone in together under its warm, familiar umbrella.
