Nintendo's biggest Switch game of the holidays, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, arrives this December, but before then, the company is giving fans one final in-depth look at the star-studded brawler with a special Super Smash Bros.-focused Nintendo Direct. The broadcast airs Thursday, November 1, at 7 AM PT / 10 AM ET and will feature a ton of new details about the game, so you won't want to miss it.
The presentation will be streamed on Nintendo's website, YouTube, and Twitch channels. You'll also be able to watch it right here on GameSpot via the embed below, so you can bookmark this page and come back when the presentation begins. Immediately following the Direct, Nintendo will also broadcast a Treehouse livestream that will feature additional gameplay footage of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, as well as other upcoming Nintendo Switch games like Diablo III: Eternal Edition, Yoshi's Crafted World, and Pokemon: Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee.
As usual, Nintendo hasn't divulged any concrete details on what fans will see during the Smash broadcast, but it certainly seems like it'll be a big one. The Direct is scheduled to run for approximately 40 minutes--nearly twice as long as the Smash Bros. Direct that aired back in August--and will reveal "new information" about the upcoming fighting game. What that will be is anyone's guess, but it presumably includes the game's final few playable characters, who director Masahiro Sakurai had previously teased would all be unveiled before its release. We'll also likely learn more about the title's mysterious final mode.
The last time Nintendo aired a presentation devoted to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the company unveiled five new playable characters: Simon and Richter Belmont from Castlevania; the new Echo Fighters Chrom and Dark Samus; and the oft-requested King K. Rool from Donkey Kong Country. The following month during its September Direct presentation, Nintendo revealed that Animal Crossing's Isabelle is also joining the Smash roster. It's unclear just how many more playable character remain, but more than 70 have been announced to date. You can see everyone that's playable in our full Super Smash Bros. Ultimate roster list.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate launches for Switch on December 7. Ahead of then, Nintendo is releasing a Smash Bros. Ultimate Switch bundle on November 2. It includes a digital copy of the game (which won't be playable until its release date) along with a Smash Bros.-themed dock and Joy-Cons.
