Nintendo announced that the new Super Smash Bros game is going to be named "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate," and it's going to have every character ever featured in the series so far.

Those Earthbound boys are back, too!

As well as Zelda and Sheik!
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Although this Zelda isn't from Breath of The Wild. Nintendo says that's because she was more into research, than action. Instead, we get a design inspired by A Link Between Worlds

And yes, the Inkling from the teaser trailer is definitely here!

Daisy is actually a "echo fighter," which means her moves are derived from an existing character.

The characters have multiple styles, too.

The Squid Sisters will also be in the game as an assist trophy -- which shrinks the stage, making it easier to get knocked out!

And a lot of classic stages are returning!

There are plenty of new stages, too!

Some of the core game mechanics have been tweaked, too. The more you dodge, the less effective your dodge will be!

Damage is higher in 1-on-1 battles, too -- making them just a little more intense.

Have an Amiibo collection? All previous Amiibo will be compatible with Smash, as long as the character is in the game... even if that a Amiibo is for a different game!
