According to NPD, Super Smash Bros. UItimate has now officially dethroned 2008's Super Smash Bros. Brawl to become "the best-selling Fighting game in U.S. history." NPD has equated this new achievement of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on the basis of lifetime dollar sales. Nintendo said back in November that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has sold a staggering 15.71 million copies and counting.

If you have been out of the loop for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate news, then I should catch you up with a big announcement. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate just received at The Game Awards the 'best-fighting game' award, more on that here. Nintendo also recently announced that they would be re-releasing their official Super Smash Bros. Nintendo GameCube Controller, more on that here.
