Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Here’s the latest episode of Nintendo Minute, which is about Super Smash Bros. Ultimate once again:
Hi, so excited for this next video in our Super Smash Bros. Ultimate series! This week, we invited some friends to come play a few team battles. We flipped the all-knowing Smash coin to choose the teams and had the best time trying out some new characters and playing on some of the new stages. A huge thank you to Vikki and Syd for coming on the show and playing with us. We’ll be back next week with another Super Smash Bros. Ultimate video! We’re just a few weeks away from launch and we can’t wait. As always, thanks so much for watching and we’ll see you next week.
