Super Smash Bros. Ultra is a fighting game for Wii U. It is the sixth game in the Super Smash Bros. series. The game is currently in development by Fantasy Factory. The game is planned for a late 2012 release.

Gameplay[]

The game plays the same as previous installments, but is especially based on Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Players fight against each other on stages based off famous Nintendo series. Each character has their own special moves and a Final Smash, based on their history. The player wins by knocking their opponents off the screen. Moves like taunting and slipping also return. However, the game also uses the Wii U GamePad. Players can use items by using the Touch Screen. The player can also control and select the characters, stages, or options with it. It takes over most of the Wii Remote's functions.

A new option is introduced, called the Touch Mode. Here, players can kick, use an item or jump by touching the Wii U GamePad's Touch Screen.

Trivia[]

  • Although this is the sixth installment in the series, only stages from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the third installment, reappear, probably because the fourth and fifth installments were in too early development.
  • If the Koopalings are used when Bowser releases his Final Smash, their Koopa Clown Car disappears and they fall, to eventually be destroyed when off-screen.
