Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo Switch is coming, and although it’s not a massive surprise, it’s arrival on Switch is still one that fans have been eagerly awaiting for some time now. We know who the developers are, as well as some confirmed characters and a release window – but the big question looming over everyone’s head right now: is Super Smash Bros. for Switch a port of Smash for Wii U, or an entirely new game?
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U released in 2014 and stopped receiving updates and DLC in 2016. So considering that Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is due for a sequel, a new entry in the franchise on Switch would make a lot of sense. Now, we know that Nintendo is no stranger to porting big Wii U games over to Switch—along with some bonus features—such as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Pokken Tournament DX, the former of which also gained Splatoon 2 characters in its move to the new console. That said, we still think there’s good reason to believe that Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo Switch will, in fact, be an entirely new entry for the series.
