Super Smash Bros. Ultimate news @ Game Awards 2018? | Nintendo Switch News | NintendoReporters

 [![Super Smash Bros. Ultimate news @ Game Awards 2018?](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/super-smash-bros.-ultimate-news-@-game-awards-2018.jpeg "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate news @ Game Awards 2018?")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/super-smash-bros.-ultimate-news-@-game-awards-2018.jpeg)Nintendo of America Reggie Fils-Aime could have teased a potential announcement for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate at The Game Awards 2018.

When Reggie was told The Game Awards 2018 would begin on December 6 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate launches a day after, he said “we need to do something special at your show”.

This could mean a couple of things – an announcement related to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, or at least, a Nintendo announcement for something else.

The thing most fans are speculating about is the first DLC Fighter Pass character will be revealed at The Game Awards, while others are not making any predictions as to what it is.
