Nintendo has rolled out the Version 13.0.4 update for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate in June 2025, marking the first patch for this iconic fighting game in eight months. While the update brings minimal changes, it addresses some persistent technical issues affecting gameplay.

As one of the most celebrated crossover fighting titles, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate continues to dominate the genre with its expansive roster featuring characters from Nintendo's universe and beyond. The game's creator, Masahiro Sakurai, was recently honored by the Japanese government for his significant contributions to the gaming industry through this beloved franchise.

The latest patch primarily focuses on resolving two specific problems. First, it fixes an issue where Mii Fighter thumbnails occasionally failed to generate properly when creating or modifying characters. Second, it addresses a compatibility problem between Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 systems during online matches involving Mii Fighters.

Interestingly, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate joins an exclusive club of games that ironically punish players for excelling too much. This unique design philosophy has contributed to the game's enduring popularity and competitive depth.

Nintendo recently updated its list of best-selling games for 2025, with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate maintaining its strong position among titles like Animal Crossing: New Horizons and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The game's continued support demonstrates Nintendo's commitment to maintaining its flagship fighting title.
