Nintendo have relased the full patch notes for Version 5.0.0 of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. The biggest and most obvious change, of course, is the added support for Banjo-Kazooie, the newest addition to the game’s ever-growing roster of fighters. There’s also multiple balancing changes for many other fighters- check out the comprehensive list through here.

Multiple new spirits have also been added to appear in the Vault menu, including the likes of Tooty, Mumbo Jumbo, Jiggy, Buzzbomb, and more. Several new outfits, including Team Rocket, Sans, and Zero, have also been added to the game. There are also fixes for “other issues” that remain unexplained as always. Check out the full patch notes below.

With three out of five DLC characters for Smash Ultimate out now, the game’s first Fighters Pass has two more characters left to offer. The first of these is Terry Bogard from SNK’s Fatal Fury franchise, true to the rumours. Don’t fret though- Nintendo has also confirmed that even more DLC fighters will be coming beyond the Fighters Pass’ completion.
