Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

I've enjoyed playing a lot of arcade fighting games like Street Fighter, X-Men, Tekken, and Soul Calibur in the past when I was in highschool. But over time my love on fighting games faded when I discovered FPS games like Call of Duty and adventure games like Assassins' Creed.

But when I recently got a Nintendo Switch, the first game I've bought was Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. You've probably asked why? Well, the first thing that comes to my mind before purchasing this is, Unsa kaha nga duwa ang makalingaw dili lang para sa akoa kundili para pud sa akong mga anak? (I've got two kids). Turns out I've made the right choice hehehe. Pwerting lingawa nako ug sa akong mga kids.

This game brings back my love on fighting games ages ago and I'm glad I've got to experience it now with my kids. Also, all the favorite characters my kids want are in this game so a win-win for all of us.

Anyone who likes fighting games with unique mechanics should try this. The adventure mode is plenty and kept me entertained and engaged for several hours. You can unlock character by defeating those spirits which will eventually be used as a boost. The random encounters with those characters added depth each time you navigate to the menu. I like the way how they made this roster. It was mindblowing since it is huge. Needed to buy extra controllers for Switch just to play this game with my friends. It is a good way to introduce Nintendo Switch to those people wanting to buy a console but never had a Nintendo before.
