Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is anime and a live service

Nintendo launches the next Super Smash Bros. game next month. To get prepared for one of the most anticipated Switch games, the publisher held one of its Nintendo Direct video events today. During that presentation, it revealed the final fighters who will launch with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and its downloadable content plans. Nintendo also announced what we’ve always known was true deep down: Smash Bros. is anime.

The 40-minute Direct got into all the details of Nintendo’s beloved platform fighter. It started off by showing the two characters that round out the game’s roster — Ken from Street Fighter and Incineroar from Pokémon. The company then went on to detail new game modes and more. The event ended with a teaser of the game’s single-player adventure called World of Light. You can watch that trailer by clicking play above.
