Nintendo has revealed the contents of the big 3.0 update for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, including the arrival of Joker.

Joker joins the playable roster, and updates in Ver. 3.0 include additional functionality, such as a stage builder, video editing, and Smash World integration.
Nintendo also announced the first round of Mii Fighter Costumes, which are launching today for $0.75 each.
Unsurprisingly, a number of these new outfits are themed around Persona, but there are a couple for fans of Sonic the Hedgehog as well. Specifically, Mii Gunner is getting a Tails costume and Mii Brawler is getting a Knuckles costume, so we’re seeing those two famous Sonic characters come to Smash Bros in a rather roundabout way.
New Modes
As far as the version 3.0 update is concerned, we’ll see the addition of two new modes. The first is the Stage Builder, which does just what it says on the tin. In this mode, you can make your own stages by drawing on the Switch’s touch screen, adding moving or rotating platforms and stage hazards, and by adding background layers for decoration. Stages created through the Stage Builder can be accessed through the new “Custom” tab on the stage select screen, allowing you to battle on them once you’ve finalized your design.
All in all, it sounds like Smash Ultimate‘s version 3.0 update is a hefty one. With Joker is releasing today, it probably won’t be very long before the next DLC fighter is revealed, so we’ll keep an eye out for that. In the meantime, head down to the comments section and share your thoughts about this update.
