Spectacular fighters all get together!!
Smash Brothers is an action game where fighters from new and old various games fight one another beyond the framework of series. As this game was released for Nintendo Switch, users can easily enjoy ultimate battles anywhere at and out of home.
A basic rule is quite simple.
A player can use various skills to attack the opponent and when his/her damages were accumulated, send him/her flying out of the stage. That’s all.
With the simplest operation, you can use various skills peculiar to a fighter.
The number of fighters you can operate is as many as 74 in total! (*Excluding DLC)
The volume is really astonishing! Other than fighters, all elements are the largest ever including 100 or more stages, 800 or more BGM, items, and play modes.
It is a festive game with overwhelming amount of materials. It can be called a compilation of the past series.
About 14 million pieces of this game were sold in the world at the time of writing this.
It generated record level sales in Nintendo.
In addition, it not only sold well but its participation in battle movies and others heat up the atmosphere.
These achievements entirely depend on a fact that we could borrow contents from many game series.
Please allow me to use this opportunity to offer my thanks.
Most of characters appearing in this game are born in Japan.
Sometimes, people say the game creation lagged behind in the world due to the technical level and production size, but still, the world regards Japan as a very important and amazing country.
“Smash Bros.” is a festive game, and I am happy that its festivity gathers attention and well received in the world.
I think this will back up many games and series and everything appears nice.
Thank you so much!

I would like to express my gratitude towards users, who selected this game from many titles as Award for Excellence and Grand Award.
Since the game released, I gained a glimpse into how this game was played.
I saw elementary/junior high/ high school contests and league matches as well as children passionately playing at home and game matches in development sections of the same industry.
Everyone looked happy.
According to the 2018 Big Data by Korokoro Comic, the most favorite hobby of readers is games, and “Smash Bros.” is the most popular series.
I feel more responsible.
I myself remember well what I played in my childhood.
Especially, games are special.
“Smash Bros.” revitalize such past games in the modern interpretation and create new memory of plays, we are glad to contribute to it.
I would like to express my gratitude to many interested parties and users again.
