Super Smash Bros. Nitro is an upcoming fighting game for the currently unannounced successor to the Nintendo Switch. It was announced in the Nintendo Direct which aired on April 1st, 2023. It is scheduled to release in early 2024.

Characters

The new Super Smash Bros.'s theme is the opposite of Ultimate: rather than all veterans returning, every veteran except the Original 12 will be cut from the roster.

Goomba was the first character to be revealed, with Alternate costume variations based off of Goombario and Goombella. In the same reveal was Rabbid Peach shooting away a group of Goombas and was announced to be replacing Princess Peach. Baby Wario was then shown using his magnet to snatch Rabbid Peach's gun.

A later scene shows King Harkinian from the infamous CD-I game Link and the Faces of Evil recieving a glass from Tingle, who is shown floating on a pair of balloons, both of which being confirmed the next fighters of the Zelda universe. A small insect is seen flying out of the glass, revealed to be Buzz Buzz from the EarthBound universe, however in the very next shot he gets slapped away by Lardna, referencing Buzz Buzz's death.

Following the additions of Slippy Toad's family, the Star Fox universe has been renamed into the Slippy Toad universe.

Stages

All stages from Ultimate will be returning, with the exception of stages that were previously considered tournament legal, it appears to have been done in order to discourage players from playing competitively. Additionally, Battlefield forms and Ω forms have been removed, instead each stage will have a "Frustration Form" where the stage will tilt and spin randomly. Battlefield and Final Destination themselves are set to the new Frustration Form by default with no option to play on them normally.

• All past controllers have been confirmed compatible with the game, with the exception of the GameCube controller, as the console does not have support for the adapter.

• Characters have a 5% chance of tripping during a dash.
• Hitstun is now dependant on weight, where heavier characters now have higher hitstun.
• Shields can now protect against grabs.
