Super Smash Bros. Nintendo Switch Bundle Leaked
Nintendo has been all about the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate hype for a while now. It has revealed new characters to the game, introduced several new items, including a GameCube style controller and a limited edition Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. Now it looks like Nintendo will offer a new system bundle as well.
French retailer Carrefour has apparently listed a special Nintendo Switch package that includes the game, along with a limited edition system and JoyCon controllers. It’s not a great image, but it looks like the system will come with a console and JoyCon controllers that feature the Smash Bros. cast.
Nintendo is keeping quiet about a bundle for now, but if this is true, it’s no surprise. Nintendo has previously said that it has several bundles in mind for the holiday season, and this is a game they are hyping heavily. This would be the first time that both the JoyCon controllers and the system would have a matching custom design, by the way.
We don’t have any other info at the moment, like where it will be available. Hopefully, it will come to the US.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Edition Nintendo Switch Pro Controller
Ahead of the December release of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Nintendo has revealed a special black and white Switch controller to go with the game. It goes by the name “Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Edition Nintendo Switch Pro Controller” which is quite a mouthful.
This controller is specially made for players who like to beat the living snot out of Nintendo characters on screen. It has a grey Smash Ball design in the middle, plus the logo that you know and love. Super Smash Bros. players like to have just the right controller for all of that fighting, and Nintendo is hoping that they find this one favorable.
It’s listed for pre-order on Best Buy’s site for $79.99, with a December 7 release date. Nintendo’s regular Switch Pro Controllers list at $69.99, so I guess this one costs a little more since it’s all cool and new and stuff.

Brilliant Super Smash Bros. Gift Ideas for the Nintendo Fan
Few games are as fun and addictive as Super Smash Bros., whether it’s in the 1999 version or the more recent one for the Wii U. The sign of truly great things is the amount of accessories that sprout around it.
You can try and find the perfect Super Smash Bros gift for a fan of the video game just Mario on your own, but it’s easier putting your trust in us, and following one of our recommendations:
Light Blue Yarn Yoshi Amiibo
There’s more than meets the eye in this Yoshi figure. Tapping this amiibo over your Wii U gamepad opens up options in the game, while your Yoshi can store date as you play, making it truly a one of a kind toy.
The Shulk Amiibo is probably the best figure in this very special toy line.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl – The Game
You can only buy this addictive, super fun video game for the Nintendo Wii. It’ll set you back $28.12.
For a truly unique experience of Super Smash Bros. on the Nintendo Wii, play it with this awesome Gamecube controller.
Lucas amiibo (Super Smash Bros Series)
Of all the Nintendo amiibo characters for Super Smash Bros, Lucas is probably the cutest.
The cool thing about the Bowser Jr. amiibo figure is that he looks like he’s being cooked in a giant, plant-like pot.
Mario Universe Super Smash Bros Inspired Emblem Pendant Necklace
This is a Super Smash Bros. pendant from an Etsy artist that has some wonderful works for all Nintendo games and franchises.
Smash Bros. Played on a Twitch-controlled Bucking Couch is Glorious
Whoever the deviant, glorious bastard was who came up with the latest Twitch masterpiece is a damned genius. It sounds like your typical boring Twitch stream on the surface – a contest where people sit on a couch and play Super Smash Bros. Meh.
Then I come to find out the couch is actually attached to a mechanical bull apparatus controlled by Twitch viewers out to kill and maim. Now you have my attention. Then you show me the .gif below. Look at this poor SOB, playing his game on the couch. At first he is all “Whatever. I got dis.” Then he starts to get flung around and when his cheek hits the back of the couch he knows he is screwed.
Then he flies heels over ass into the wall and that is exactly when I knew I had watched the greatest Twitch stream ever. By god, I think we need this sort of apparatus under the editor here at Technabob as he tries to whittle down the f-bombs and penis references I put in my stories mostly just to screw with him. NOPE KIM-JONG PAUL, NO EDITING TODAY! Wham into a wall with you. Let’s start a Gofundme and make it happen! HUZZAH!
