\"\"<\/a>A new Super Smash Bros. game recently came out on Switch, with lots of new characters and all returning ones.\u00a0 So naturally they\u2019re going to have new amiibo figures, too!\u00a0 I got the first three: Star Wolf, Inkling Girl, and Ridley, so let\u2019s take a look at them!<\/p>\n

Here they are inside their boxes.<\/p>\n

And here they are out of the boxes.\u00a0 I have to say, like most other amiibo figures, they are incredibly detailed.\u00a0 Star Wolf, while not one of my favorites, still looks great. He even has an insignia on the back of his jacket!\u00a0 I didn\u2019t realize he wore so much purple, though!\u00a0 The Inkling Girl is all right.\u00a0 Looks like yet another version of the Splatoon amiibo, but they had to have her as a Smash amiibo anyway.\u00a0 But the coolest is Ridley!\u00a0 Look at him!\u00a0 He\u2019s such a cool bad guy.\u00a0 Every time I see him in a Metroid game, my inner child wants to stomp around the house yelling, \u201cRar!\u00a0 I\u2019m Ridley!\u201d\u00a0 When you scan these, they do the same thing they did in the other Smash games.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So what do I think of the game?\u00a0 Well it\u2019s fantastic of course!\u00a0 But it probably won\u2019t be my Game of the Year, like other Smash games have been.\u00a0 They omitted one of my favorite parts, the 3-D trophies, which is what I\u2019m sure inspired the amiibo figures and what made me want to collect them in the first place.\u00a0 I know that seems kind of a petty thing to complain about, but I really liked those trophies.\u00a0 The Spirit Mode is cool, but the spirits are just the stickers from the Wii game, and the mode you get them in is just a cleverly disguised Event Mode.\u00a0 But that doesn\u2019t mean the game is bad at all.\u00a0 In fact, Smash Ultimate would probably be my number 2 top game of 2018.\u00a0 It\u2019s great as a handheld game, too, and there are plenty of single player modes to keep fans like me occupied.\u00a0 I love how easy it is just to hop in and play a game or two and hop right back out again.\u00a0 Looking forward to seeing what other amiibo and characters they make for it!\u00a0 –Cary<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
