Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DX

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DX (Great Fray Smash Brothers Special DX), often shortened to "SSBUDX" or "Ultimate DX" will be a updated re-release of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the fifth entry in the Super Smash Bros. series of crossover fighting games. It is planned to release sometime at the end of the 2020's decade on the Nintendo Switch's successor. It plans to feature both the original game and the DLC additions (Pirhana Plant and the Fighters Pass 1 and 2 fighters), alongside new items, stages, fighters, and music.

Changes from the Nintendo Switch release

 * Charizard is once again promoted to being a standalone character and has much of his movesets and Final Smash reused. Squritle, Ivysaur, Pyra, and Mythra also now become standalone characters and they both gain new special moves.
 * Trophies and All-Star Mode have been bought back after being left out in the original.
 * All-Star Mode is unlockable for the first time since Super Smash Bros. Brawl and like Classic Mode, players are able to spend Gold or All-Star Ticket to keep the current intensity. The Rest Area music features a light and relax remix of Lifelight. Like with Smash 4, the order in which different characters are fought are based on their personal debut in Japan. They are fought chronlogicaly, much like for 3DS.
 * There are 1,000 trophies in the game, as opposed to the 290 trophies in Melee, 544 trophies in Brawl, 685 trophies in for 3DS, and 743 trophies in for Wii U.
 * Tourney now allows 64 players max. similar to Melee and for Wii U.
 * The Chronicle option has been bought back for the first time since it's inculsion in Brawl and now has a comprehensive list of many titles published by Nintendo and other gaming companies - ranging from the Game & Watch to the Nintendo Switch's successor.
 * Cloud and Sephiroth also now gain their official English voice dubs, making this the first (and possibly only Smash game to date) to do this. Cloud is reprised by Cody Christian (who has voiced him since Final Fantasy VII Remake) while Tyler Hoechlin reprises his role as Sephiroth. The Japanese version still keeps their original Japanese voice actors though.
 * Target Smash, 10-Man Smash, 3-Minute, and 15 Minute have returned after being absent from the Nintendo Switch version.
 * World of Light gains two bonus sub-worlds, the Lighter Realm and the Darker Realm and the original game's DLC can now be unlocked via fighter battles.
 * They can also now be unlocked be competing either Versus, Classic Mode, or All-Star Mode.
 * Several movesets, special moves, taunts, and Final Smashes for the characters have been revamped
 * For example, Chrom no longer acts as Robin's Pair Up due to being part of the playable fighter roster. He is replaced by Stahl, a shepherd from Awakening.
 * Small battlefield forms have been introduced.
 * Music can now be played randomly on any selected stage, not just Battlefield.

Fighters
All the fighters from the original Super Smash Bros. Ultimate have returned, inculding the DLC fighters. Like with the original release, the original eight fighters are available from the start and the rest of the fighters must be unlocked by either competing Versus Mode, Classic Mode, All-Star Mode, or World of Light mode.

Ultimate DX.
It's unknown how many stages the game will have
 * 1) Tokyo Blur (Mario)
 * 2) A stage based on Xenoblade Chronicles 3

This game has examples of:

 * Adaptation Expansion: A lot of the universes from the original releases' DLC like Persona and Kingdom Hearts have gotten more expanded content, mainly for the music tracks and spirits. They also now have trophies based on their respective universes unlike the Switch version.
 * Adapted Out: For the Super Smash Bros. x Soulcalibur collaboration, the only characters from Bandai-Namco's Soul franchise to appear are: Siegfried (as a downloadable fighter, along with Nightmare as his alternate costume, being a Fighter Spirit), while the following characters appear via spirits: Mitsurugi, Sophitia, Taki, Voldo, Seong Mi-na, Cervantes, Inferno, Hwang, Kilik, Xianghua, Ivy, Yoshimitsu, Maxi, Astaroth, Talim, Raphael, Cassandra, Zasalamel, Tira, Amy, Setsuka, Hilde, Grøh, and Azwel. They even use much of the artwork from Soulcalibur VI.
 * Breaking Old Trends: Unless you count the original Super Smash Bros. that was re-released on the Wii's Virtual Console, this marks the first (and possibly only time in the series) where a Smash game gained a re-release on a new console with additional content not present in the Nintendo Switch version. Melee, Brawl, and for 3DS / Wii U never ever once saw a re-release on a Nintendo console.
 * Promoted to Playable: It's likely that several characters (be it spirits, Assist Trophies, and Mii Costumes) will be upgraded to becoming playable characters for this release. Examples would be Spring Man from ARMS, Bandana Waddle Dee from Kirby, Akira Yuki from Virtua Fighter, etc.
 * Updated Re-release: The update includes even more content that were not present in the Switch release. This includes bringing back All-Star Mode from Melee, Brawl, and for 3DS / Wii U, Chronicle from Brawl, trophies, a few more returning stages like Pac-Maze from for 3DS and Jungle Hijinx from for Wii U. The release also plans to add another twenty four characters that were not present in the original release.

YMMV

 * Author's Saving Throw: A major complaint with the original release was that it got rid of several options that were a staple since Melee like All-Star Mode and the trophies. This version makes up for all of it by adding them back in.
 * All-Star Mode has gone back to being unlockable unlike for 3DS / Wii U and much like Melee and Brawl and plays out similar to Ultimate's Classic Mode.
 * Online mode, which was widely criticized in the original has now gone a major upgrade and performs much better than it did in the Switch release.
 * Broken Base: Was it a good idea to update a game several years after it ended development back in 2021? Most think Ultimate would be better off as a standalone release like previous titles, others don't mind this thanks to the Switch release selling over 29.53 million copies worldwide in 2022 and surpassing Melee, Brawl and Street Fighter II, as the best selling fighting game of all time.
