Super Smash Bros Ultimate Needs To Have Online Co-op

We might all love Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but there's no getting around the fact the game is lacking some pretty basic modes and functions. via Digitial Trends We might all love , but there's no getting around the fact the game is lacking some pretty basic modes and functions. At the tail end of 2018, Nintendo released the latest chapter of the storied franchise, . Less than a year later, it's already the best-selling Smash game of all time. According to , the game had sold 14.73 million copies by the end of July 2019. We're willing to bet that it will have surpassed the 15 million mark by now. As great as the game is, it does seem as if the 15 million of us who are playing it are willing to overlook some pretty major misgivings. Have you ever tried to play the game online with a friend, for example? It's not easy. Playing co-op with a buddy is even harder. In fact, it's impossible. The only way you can play co-op online is by pairing up with strangers. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY via YouTube Allowing friends to play online together not only seems like an option that should have been included when the game was launched, it's something that must be very easy to add. Even if it was massive oversight by Nintendo, why has it not been fixed nine months later? Honestly, Smash Ultimate online is not exactly the most fun place to hang out. Unless you have been playing every version of the game religiously since the late 90s, chances are most of the players you encounter online won't exactly be the most fun competitors to square off against. The chance to team up with a friend and have a break from all that would make us feel much better about our sub-par Smash skills. If you're a skilled Smash player, you can relate to this too. Perhaps you're the one on the other side of the unbalanced friendship in this scenario. As fun as it is to win, do you not eventually get bored of easy victory after easy victory? Pairing up with your victim (err... friend) and taking on a couple of level nine CPUs would surely be a lot more fun. Here's hoping Nintendo has plans to introduce the ability to do so in the near future.
