Super Smash Bros. is coming to Nintendo Switch

Nintendo has announced that Super Smash Bros. is coming to the Nintendo Switch this year, bringing the popular fighting game franchise to Nintendo’s newest console.

Nintendo showed off a teaser trailer for a Super Smash Bros. game during its Nintendo Direct video event today. The short clip started with a pair of Inkling characters from the Splatoon games fighting against one another before a couple of shots of Link and Mario standing in the shadows.

Of course, the Switch version’s biggest appeal is the ability to play Smash Bros. anytime, anywhere.

No details yet on the full roster of characters, but we know the squid kids from Splatoon will be there. Knowing previous Smash Bros installments, it should be a safe bet to assume that series regulars like Mario and co. will be returning. We also don’t know whether this is an original Smash Bros game or a port as it’s been suggested.

No doubt we will be hearing more about Smash Bros Switch at E3 this year, with hopefully a release date, and a better understanding of the full roster of characters and whether this is a port or not. In the meantime, we can all rejoice knowing that Smash Bros will be playable on the Switch in the future.

Nintendo has released four games in the Smash franchise so far, starting with Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 64. The series continues to have a dedicated following, with Super Smash Bros. Melee for GameCube and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U appearing at this year’s Evo fighting game tournament.
