A surprise awaits Super Smash Bros. Ultimate fans as it’s been announced that the game will receive its final spirit event drop this weekend on 22nd March for 5 days. According to @SmashBrosJP on X, new spirits, “Peach Showtime” and “Mario Wonder” are slated to join the game.
This surprising update from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has left the fans excited!
At first, We all were under the impression that the game’s update cycle had come to a close. But now, with news of “Peach Showtime” and “Mario Wonder” Spirits joining the fray, fans will be able to experience the fresh content.
Intriguingly, speculations arose that the sudden resumption of updates in January may be a result of the game’s development team reconvening. Besides, could this be signal preparatory work for the next installment in the Smash series?
The timing of these updates is intriguing, coming shortly after Masahiro Sakurai, the game’s director, announced the end of his work on his YouTube channel.
While the new inclusions seem to generally please the fans, a few expressed disappointment over missing favorites, such as spirits from Fire Emblem Engage. Although, I had hoped for another round of eclectic character choices as seen in previous spirit events. The omission of characters from “Kirby & the Forgotten Land” also struck an unpleasant surprise among them.
This news leaves Super Smash Bros. Ultimate fans anticipating further surprises and waiting with anticipation for the rumored arrival of a new Nintendo console, speculated to be around the corner.
