Genre(s) Fighting

The tentatively titled Super Smash Bros. is an upcoming fighting game for the Nintendo Switch. It was first announced on March 8th, 2018 at the end of the Nintendo Direct released the same day. It will be the fifth installment in the Super Smash Bros. series (sixth if Super Smash Bros. 4 is counted as two games). The game will be released in 2018.

Trailer

The first teaser trailer was revealed at the end of the Nintendo Direct on March 8th, 2018. It suggests that Inklings are the first revealed newcomer to the game (although this has not yet been explicitly confirmed).

Confirmed elements

Silhouettes of characters found in the Direct.

Veterans

Other characters appear to be silhouetted, but they are less clear; Bowser's horns and hair, Donkey Kong's hair, and Samus's shoulders are clearly visible.

Other confirmed new elements

  • Inkling, with Boy and Girl designs from the original Splatoon, has been confirmed to appear in the game.


Development

Prior to the initial reveal, Nintendo filed a number of trademarks on November 12th, 2017, notably including a Japanese Super Smash Bros. logo.[1] The logo was compared to the Japanese Super Smash Bros. Melee logo as they were nearly identical in appearance. A Super Smash Bros. title for Nintendo Switch was later officially revealed on March 8th, 2018 via a Nintendo Direct. Shortly after, Masahiro Sakurai, the lead developer for all previous Smash titles, confirmed in a tweet that he had been working on the game "in silence, day after day".[2][3]

Trivia

  • This is the first Super Smash Bros. game since the original Super Smash Bros. to not be announced alongside new hardware. Super Smash Bros. Melee was revealed alongside the final retail version of the Nintendo GameCube at E3 2001, Super Smash Bros. Brawl was announced alongside the Wii itself, then-codenamed Revolution at E3 2005, and Super Smash Bros. 4 was announced alongside the Wii U at E3 2011. Moreover, unlike the latter two games, this is the first time since Super Smash Bros. Melee that a Smash Bros. game is not announced years in advance, as Super Smash Bros. Brawl was announced in 2005 and revealed a year later, and Super Smash Bros. 4 was announced in 2011 and revealed two years later, with both releasing in 2008 and 2014 respectively.
  • The revealed logo includes a slim cross going through the word 'SUPER' and the letter 'A'. This is a subtle inclusion of the Super Smash Bros. logo.
  • This is the first Super Smash Bros. game to not feature the involvement of Satoru Iwata, the former president of Nintendo, who passed away in July 2015.
