Nintendo has just unveiled and dived deep into the next entry in the Smash Bros. franchise, titled Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. The game looks glorious on the Nintendo Switch and it’s coming out this December, just in time to have some good ol’ fashioned fights with your friends and family over holiday break. One big aspect of the title that Nintendo pushed is the fact that Smash Ultimate is bringing back every single character that has ever been in a Smash Bros. game – yup, you guessed it. This means that those guys like Pichu, Young Link, Ice Climbers, and Solid Snake himself will be back in the fight club that is Smash Bros. Ultimate. These characters all look fantastic on the Switch, thanks to the graphical fidelity that the console has over the Wii U, but there’s just one small issue with one of the returning characters – Solid Snake.
You see, with Snake’s first appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, he had a slightly larger… ummm… “derrière” than other fighters, which we all seemed to appreciate and sort of forget about, until now. With his return in Ultimate, it seems that Snake’s butt has gotten a severe downgrade and the old Snake butt fans on Twitter are going crazy about it. Here’s a few tweets from the outrage that has sparked thanks to Nintendo’s nerfing of our favorite booty:
Snake’s butt got nerfed because it was just that damn powerful
LOOK AT IT, NINTENDO. IT WAS THE ONLY THING KEEPING THE STRAPS ON HIS SUIT TOGETHER. AS MUCH AS I LOVE TO SEE THE CLOTHES FALL OFF AS A RESULT I CANNOT LIVE THIS LIFE WITHOUT THIS MAN’S POWERFUL BUTT. pic.twitter.com/rot6IHWFs7

as there are more characters in the new Super Smash Bros than ever before, and we can only have so much butt in one game for processing reasons, we had to redistribute Snake's butt flesh among the returning challengers

SAME! Only thing I dislike is that they took away Snake's butt. It's a muscle, not fat or anything. They could've done away with the conforming crack, but they reduced the size of it entirely, doesn't look realistic.
