Super Smash Bros. Reminiscence

Super Smash Bros. Reminiscence (known as Super Smash Bros. Reminiscence+ by the developers) is a 2018 crossover fighting game set to be launched as one of the first "Year One" titles for the Nintendo Switch console on March 5th, 2018. Like its predecessors, Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo Wii U, the game is being developed by both Sora Ltd. and Bandai Namco Games and published by Nintendo for the system. Reminiscence has been stated by series creator Masahiro Sakurai to be the "culmination of more than a decade of work upon the series as a whole, thusly it is reminiscent of earlier games in terms of roster, stages, and much more." The internal name for the project is the result of a failed project for the Switch which proved to be a failure upon playtesting after multiple changes were made to the gameplay [a health bar is stated to have been used for some characters, although nothing has come of it yet] and Sakurai and his team reset the project from scratch, only to revive it some time later.
Reminiscence, akin to the prior four games in the franchise, is a crossover between multiple Nintendo universes such as Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, and Pokémon, alongside third-party universes with new additions coming from Blizzard Entertainment 's critically acclaimed Overwatch, Ubisoft's Rayman series, and several others. Returning features absent from Sm4sh include Target Test, a dedicated story mode, mid-match transformations for multiple characters, and Stickers along with character customization, K.O. ownership trails, more expressive characters, the rage mechanic, and much more. New features include visible damage upon all fighters as their damage percentage increases, more fluid movement, and the ability to fight in a 2.5D environment similar to the Tekken series.
==Gameplay==
The common Smash formula returns for its fifth [or sixth, if both versions of Super Smash Bros. 4 are to be considered different entries in the series] time and remains generally unchanged from previous installments.
As opposed to traditional brawlers, players must instead attempt to launch their opponent off of the map by damaging them with various neutral and special attacks exclusive to each character. Damage in-game is represented by a percentage which increases by a certain number with every successful hit ranging from zero percent to 9999%, which is a much larger amount than previous titles.
Conspicuous marks of what has been hit such as darker areas representing fire damage, cracked shields and masks, and bandages around more physical wounds have been added.
Once a computer-controlled opponent or a human player exceeds a varying amount of damage, they have the chance to be sent flying from the stage with a powerful attack; however, a variable one must be aware of is how much a character weighs as a heavier opponent has less of a chance to get sent off-stage than a featherweight fighter.
===Character Customization===
Both the character customization options from Super Smash Bros. 4 and the sticker system from Super Smash Bros. Brawl have been combined into one system for customization overall. Power stickers [represented by black backgrounds] are akin to the equipment found in SSB4 while the effect/bonus stickers [represented by white backgrounds] add various effects and added damage to attacks dependent on their description. Additionally, stickers can now be attached to both sides of the trophy base and new effects have been added to them after the announcement of more items being added to the roster.
Removing a sticker from either side of the base will remove all effects associated with said sticker but unlike in Brawl, the player will have the sticker returned to them, albeit weaker and eventually fading after the number reaches zero.
===Single Player Modes===
*Story Mode: /Countdown to Ragnarok/
==Characters==
Out of all of the rosters, Reminiscence contains one of the largest in the series at around 71 unique fighters with around 45 returning fighters and 26 newcomers to the series. Adding to this already massive roster is the addition of alternate characters contained within several slots, meaning clone characters such as Dr. Mario, Dark Pit, and Lucina can be played as by selecting them in Mario, Pit, and Marth's character select screen slots.
===Starting Fighters===
Character 	Description
Mario 	
It's-a-him, a-Mario! This plucky plumber has become the icon for Nintendo since his debut in arcades as "Jumpman" in 1981 and has saved princesses, entire galaxies, kingdoms, and even alternate dimensions from the reign of Bowser. Mario has a diverse but easy to master move set and is great for newcomers or those who can't choose which character to play.
*Arcade - Donkey Kong (July 1981)
* - Super Mario Odyssey (2017)
Princess Peach 	
Despite popular belief, Princess Peach isn't just some damsel in distress even though that's where she finds herself most of the time. The princess of the Mushroom Kingdom wields a set of unconventional weaponry ranging from a frying pan to a parasol which she can use to glide through the air with. Where does she keep it all?
* - Super Mario Bros. (November 1985)
* - Super Mario Odyssey (2017)
Bowser 	The tyrannical king of the Koopas, Bowser, often finds himself in another castle or even in another galaxy thanks to constant meddling from his archenemy. Despite his plans not being the best, Bowser manages to both keep a friendly relationship with Mario while at the same time attempt to defeat him at every chance he gets. Not to mention the size of his army, which spans hundreds of troops across an innumerable amount of worlds, galaxies, and kingdoms! Truely Bowser is a force to be reckoned with.
