Super Smash Bros Ultimate To Receive Day One Switch Update; Here's What It Does

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate owners will need to download a day one update when it launches for Switch on December 7, Nintendo has confirmed. In an interview with Famitsu (via ComicBook.com), Smash director Masahiro Sakurai said the patch is necessary for the game's replay system to work as intended.

"We will distribute our first update on launch day," the developer stated. "Players who purchased the digital version don't need to worry, but players who purchased the physical version should apply this day-one patch before you play. This will also prevent your replays from going off-track. By the way, if you save your replays as videos, you can keep them forever, but note that they take up a lot of space!" Sakurai did not confirm the size of the patch.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is the first game in the series to launch for Nintendo Switch. It includes every character and stage ever seen across all entries in the franchise, plus some new characters such as Ken, Incineroar, and Isabelle.

In addition, Nintendo will release five as-yet-unannounced DLC characters for the game throughout 2019 as part of the Fighters Pass, plus one additional surprise fighter, Piranha Plant, which you'll receive for free if you register Ultimate on My Nintendo by January 31, 2019.

Before he entered the ring, his video package played a 16-bit cutscene that was very reminiscent of the game, featuring a yellow and red disembodied head, which is totally a knock at the New Japan Pro Wrestling's logo--a company Omega wrestled for--explaining Omega left all his friends and now, he's all alone. This includes a silhouette of Omega's former tag team partner, Kota Ibushi. You can check out the video for yourself below. The sound effects and dialogue from the end of that section are taken directly from Undertale. After the video package ended, Omega entered wearing a Sans mask, while Megalovania--the song from the game--played in the arena. Surprisingly, this worked incredibly well as entrance music for one of t...
