After last year's brilliant lineup of first-party games for the Switch——which included The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey—it seemed that Nintendo was slowly losing that first-year-momentum as there weren't that many heavy-hitters for this year's lineup.

The two games that could've been considered heavy-hitters this year were Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu/Eevee! and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and even then Pokémon Let's Go's reception was very mixed upon being announced. Luckily for Nintendo, Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu/Eevee! have managed to exceed all expectations by selling an impressive 3 million copies within its first week since launch.

Super Smash Bros. games have always been console-sellers, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has proven to not only be doing that, but Nintendo confirms that the game has also managed to become the best pre-selling title in the series' history since the original game came out in 1999. 

Not only is Super Smash Bros. Ultimate the best pre-selling title in the series, but it is now also the best pre-selling title available on the Nintendo Switch, beating out The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey; which in and of itself is quite an impressive feat.

The news comes from the official Nintendo Versus Twitter account, which posted a new video thanking fans for their amazing support, as well as sharing a short trailer with opinions about Super Smash Bros. Ultimate by video game media outlets. Our hats are off to you, Nintendo.




Legendary game worlds and fighters collide in the ultimate showdown—a new entry in the Super Smash Bros. series for the Nintendo Switch system!

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will be available exclusively for the Nintendo Switch on the 7th of December.
