<p>If <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/super_smash_bros_ultimate">Super Smash Bros. Ultimate</a></strong> hasn’t already received enough praise, it’s now taken out Famitsu’s 2018 Game of the Year Award alongside <strong>Monster Hunter: World</strong>. It’s a similar situation to the previous year when <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/legend_of_zelda_breath_of_the_wild">The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild</a></strong> and <strong>Dragon Quest XI</strong> both won. The game’s creator Masahiro Sakurai received the MVP award and the pink puffball Kirby – who was tasked with saving the day in Ultimate’s World of Light mode – was awarded character of the year.</p>
<p>Apart from this award, Smash Bros. Ultimate also picked up an excellence award, as did <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/pokemon_lets_go_pikachu_and_lets_go_eevee"><strong>P</strong><strong>okemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Let’s Go, Eevee!</strong></a> and <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/dragon_quest_builders_2">Dragon Quest Builders 2</a></strong>. <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/octopath_traveler">Octopath Traveler</a></strong> received an excellence award as well and scored the best soundtrack and rookie of the year award.</p>
