Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is now the best-selling game of its genre, having sold more copies of any single fighting game ever.
The title, despite being just four months old, is already the most sold fighting game of all time - yes, all time (Kanye West voice). Nintendo recently released a list of their Top Selling Unit Sales as of March 31 and the ten best-selling games on the Switch were also disclosed, revealing that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has already 13.81 million copies worldwide.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl previously held the top spot but that pedestal is now occupied by Smash Ultimate, the game which has beaten all versions of Street Fighter II and Super Smash Bros. for the Wii and 3DS put together (13.30 units sold).
As mentioned before, the game has only been around for four months, which makes this feat all the more impressive. It’s not that surprising given the unique mechanics it possesses and the ease of approach it hands players, compared to that of traditional fighting games. Yet the speed at which it has climbed to the top is still a bit shocking.
