Super Smash Bros Ultimate

2018 Smash game, on Nintendo Switch.
I'd played every version of Smash Bros and I love every one, so this was a day-one purchase. In fact, I went to Kyoto (was living in Osaka at the time) to play it before its release at a special Nintendo event there.
I was very happy to see favourite old characters return, and I enjoyed new characters like K. Rool, Piranha Plant and Ridley. As usual, the DLC characters were almost entirely uninteresting to me, except for Banjo & Kazooie.
Played it a lot at school, where I let my middle school students have a go on Thursdays. Was surprised to be utterly outclassed by one student, which forced me to up my game a lot for the first time, and I learned to appreciate a more competitive gameplay style with 1v1, no items, and limited stage options, whereas previously I had played casually with everything enabled. In fact, I don't think I've played Smash Ultimate with items at all really.
