With the recent release of the new
trailer of the new Super Smash Bros, everyone in the Smash community
is ecstatic on what new things will Nintendo give us. Though I have
only played Brawl in the Wii, I may not have much opinion on the
matter. Even so, I got excited when the trailer for the new game was
released. When I saw some still pictures of the trailer, there is not
much to say, but when I saw the trailer itself, its a whole 'nother
story.

Before we dive into the new game, let's
look back to the history of the Super Smash Bros. The first game was
released domestically in Japan in the year 1999 for the Nintendo 64.
Though considered as a fighting game, it was pretty different with
the likes of Street Fighter, Virtua Fighter and Tekken. Instead of
depleting your opponent's health bar, you will need to knock them off
the stage. Some stages are so big, that you will need to strategize
on how you will KO your opponent. And some stages are so small, you
will need to strategize on how to survive.
Throughout the years, Smash Bros has
added new features into the mix and added third-party characters like
Sonic, Snake, Megaman, Pac-man, Ryu and Cloud Strife into the roster.
Since the release of the Nintendo
Switch last year, Nintendo have been busy developing and releasing
new games for the new console. Both Zelda: Breath of the Wild and
Mario Odyssey are critically acclaimed games that has the signature
Nintendo sheen. With that said, some speculate that the new Smash
Bros will just be a remastered version of the Wii U game much like
the Mario Kart 8 deluxe. But with the hybrid console, there is a big
possibility that Nintendo will be adding new features and characters
into the mix.
With its portability, it will be easy
to have 8 player battle royales and since a lot of Switch can be
present, it's possible that we can have a 16 player battle royale!
Also, this is just a speculation, Crash Bandicoot will be added into
the mix since the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy will be release on
the Switch on July 10 of this year.
With Nintendo being open to third-party
developers now for the Switch, it is safe to say that the new Smash
Bros will be the ideal game for all of our favorite characters to
duke it out.
