EnglishIs Super Smash Bros. Crusade Affiliated with Nintendo or the Official Smash Bros. Series?
Updated
No. Super Smash Bros. Crusade is a fan-made game, not an official Nintendo product. The itch.io page describes it directly as "A Smash Bros. fangame," and it is distributed through itch.io, an independent game hosting platform, rather than through Nintendo's own storefronts or channels. Nothing on the page indicates Nintendo branding, sponsorship, or endorsement.
What the page actually says
The project's own listing identifies it as:
- Name: Super Smash Bros. Crusade
- Version: ver. 0.9.5
- Description: "A Smash Bros. fangame."
- Genre/category: Fighting
- Host: itch.io (community profile)
The phrase "fangame" is the key signal. It means the project is created by fans and inspired by the Super Smash Bros. series, not produced or licensed by Nintendo.
Why the name can be misleading
The title deliberately echoes the official series, which is common practice for fan projects. That naming similarity does not imply a relationship. Two practical distinctions:
| Signal | What it suggests |
|---|---|
| Hosted on itch.io | Independent distribution, not a Nintendo platform |
| Labeled "fangame" by its own page | Created by fans, not the rights holder |
| Version number like 0.9.5 | A project still in development, not a retail release |
| No Nintendo branding or endorsement noted | No official affiliation indicated |
What this means for you
- If you are looking for an officially licensed Smash Bros. title, this is not it.
- If you want to try a community-made fighting game inspired by the series, the itch.io page is the place to find it.
- Because it is a fan project, expect it to be a work in progress rather than a finished commercial product — the version number (0.9.5) points in that direction.
For updates and community discussion, the page references a social handle, @SSBCrusadeOffic, which is where the project's own announcements are directed.
