A new update for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has been released, and here are all the new changes and tweaks added with this patch. Update 9.0.0 brings Minecraft Steve into the game, equipped with a handful of other skins that let you play as some of Minecraft’s most famous mobs. A new Minecraft stage has been added as well as a select few Minecraft songs, too. Several fighters have received balance adjustments, and the online experience has been improved somewhat (although let’s be honest, we’re not expecting much here). Here’s everything you need to know about Super Smash Bros. Ultimate update version 9.0.0.
