New Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Spirit Event Revealed
Nintendo wasn’t kidding when they declared they would be pulling out all the stops for the roster of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. From the long-awaited return of classic characters like Kirby, Pikachu, Snake, and many others emerge new and unexpected faces as well. For the first time in the franchise, Nintendo also introduces Spirit events, a feature that allows players to gain attribute boosts and skills from defeating other characters and they’ve just announced the latest one.
A Spirit based on the River Survival co-op mode from #SuperMarioParty will appear in the Spirit Board at 2am & 2pm PT everyday until 01/01. Take a break from rowing downstream with your friends and family to earn this new Spirit in Super #SmashBrosUltimate! pic.twitter.com/pRH3EjoCiN
