Of course, these Super Smash Bros. Ultimate items cover everything from items such as the Banana Gun and Death’s Scythe to new assist trophies in the form of Zero, Knuckles, Krystal, Klaptrap, Kapp’n, Chef Kawasaki, Gray Fox, Nikki, Shovel Knight, the Majora’s Mask moon, and Rathalos (Monster Hunter). Pokeball assists, which have been a staple of the franchise, also return, bringing with them new Pokemon from the latest installment in the franchise.
These Pokemon include Abra, Ditto, and Vulpix, as well as Sun and Moon mascots Solgaleo and Lunala, Mimikyu, Pyukumuku, and Morelull. Alolan pokemon, island-inspired alternative forms first introduced in the aforementioned installments, are also coming to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate with Alolan Exeggutor and Alolan Vulpix taking center stage. Hopefully, more are showcased soon, as it seems unlikely that just two Alolan Pokemon will be present in the game. Check out this portion of the showcase below:
As seen in the video above, some of these new Pokemon have some unique abilities. Although some of them have standard attacks, Alolan Exeggutor becomes an unpassable wall that also doubles as a jump-off point, and Dittos transform into the player that chose it and provides secondary support.
Nevertheless, combined in conjunction with other big reveals such as the 103+ stages and the addition of King K Rool from Donkey Kong, fans of the fighting franchise got a real treat today. Hopefully, Nintendo hasn’t shown its full hand yet, as the game is still a few months away from launch, but considering the popularity of the game, it seems likely to get a positive reception.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate launches December 7 exclusively for Nintendo Switch.
