After a reasonably long wait and several different predictions and leaks later, Super Smash Ultimate Update 8.0.0 is finally here. Nintendo announced the launch today on their Versus twitter handle. The update went live on 7am IST, 30th July.
Eager fans have known for long that new DLC fighters were coming to the game. A couple of weeks ago, we predicted the possible additions to the fighter roster. We are delighted that some of our predictions stand corrected as Min Min is coming to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate!
Nintendo has decided to add Min Min as the 6th DLC fighters to the game. For those of you who are new to the series, Min Min is a character from Nintendo’s quirky fighting game called ARMS. The game was released on the Switch and recently celebrated its 3 year launch anniversary.
Moreover alongside her, players will spot new Mii Fighter costumes which include the Vault Boy as well. Additionally, you can purchase the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighter Pass volume 2 to obtain Min Min, the new Spring Stadium and no less than 18 different music tracks.
