Niche Gamer Plays is an ongoing video preview series where our staff take an in-depth and yet concise look at classic, current, and upcoming games across all current gaming platforms.
We got a first hands-on preview for the recently unveiled Super Smash Bros. Ultimate at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo.
Featured above, you can view a round straight from the new crossover party fighting game. It’s worth pointing out we played a few sessions, but only have the included footage. We’ll talk about the game more in the next Niche Gamer-cast this week.
