Each time a new version is released, Super Smash Bros. offers more and more characters to battle with from different franchises. An under-rated benefit of the game is discovering different franchises that aren't just the main faces of Nintendo. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on the Nintendo Switch is no exception, with a large amount of both the best games on Switch and some lesser-known games represented. Take a look at all the franchises you will see within the game and their latest title.
Animal Crossing
Only in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will you take someone out as an adorable Villager or the lovable dog Isabelle. If you need to retreat from all the battle and relax for a bit, Animal Crossing: New Horizons has a whole island waiting for you.
Get away from it all on an island all your own. Meet your adorable animal neighbors and help build up your island's reputation to bring in K.K. Slider to perform for you all!
ARMS
Get a taste of what the ARMS fighters are like when you play Min Min in Super Smash Bros Ultimate. Her cute personality and those of the other fighters are shown so well in their origin game, ARMS. Test your skills in a different kind of fighting game and see who is your favorite.
In this fighting game, you choose your fighter and customize their arms! Each arm has different unique powers to use during your fight.
Banjo-Kazooie
Banjo-Kazooie were a later addition to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate but they showed up with a bang. Unfortunately this is their only appearance on the Switch. Their most recent title on a Nintendo Console is Banjo-Pilot for the Game Boy Advance. Since that has been so long ago your best bet for finding this title online would be eBay, if you're looking to break out your old Game Boy.
In this Game Boy Advance adventure, Banjo-Kazooie takes on racing! Choose your favorite Banjo-Kazooie character to race with and hit the track! But make sure you have a Game Boy Advance system to play on.
Bayonetta
This powerful, stylistic female is here to take names in both games. In addition to taking names in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Bayonetta 2 offers more fighting and more weapons for action lovers to enjoy.
Not only does Bayonetta have an arsenal of weapons, but also some amazing magic powers. If she's going to go through literal Hell and back to save her friend Jeanne, she's going prepared.
Castlevania
Simon and Richter are not afraid of anything. They have taken on Dracula in many stories! This may be why they're such powerhouse fighters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. With the Castlevania Anniversary Collection, you can follow the whole story directly from your Nintendo Switch.
Throughout the years, there have been many Castlevania games, defeating Dracula to save mankind. In this Anniversary Collection, you'll get to enjoy 9 great platformers for the price of one!
Donkey Kong
Bring in the brawlers with the familiar faces of another Nintendo classic, Donkey Kong! Play as the ape himself Donkey Kong, his tiny but mighty counterpart Diddy Kong, or baddie King K. Rool. The Donkey Kong bunch have an adventure on their own, fighting off enemies throwing frosty blasts into the jungle. While King K. Rool isn't in the game, there are some new Kong characters to try.
Bring the heat back to the jungle and end the freeze in the latest Kong adventure!
Dragon Quest
The Dragon Quest Hero is used to traveling with a party, but he doesn't let that stop him in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. See what more he can do with a party in DRAGON QUEST XI S: Echoes of and Elusive Age.
Form a party, choose their skill, and go on a series of quests across the land. In this game you can also play 16-bit versions of the game.
Duck Hunt
From a classic game to a dog with complex moves, Duck Hunt is an original worth representing and it makes us very happy to see him in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Duck Hunt is not available on Switch right now, but was made available on the Wii U. If you still have your Wii U system, give this classic a try!
Keep a close eye on your hunting dog and your finger on the trigger. With sharp aim and a little help from man's best friend, you may just bag to most birds of all the hunters!
EarthBound
Two cute characters, Ness and Lucas, can pack some of the biggest punches in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate! These two come from the EarthBound game. While this doesn't have anything available on Switch, if you still have your 3DS you're in luck!
Foes from space have fallen on Earth! As Ness, it is up to you and your friends to stop the evil Giygas.
