X
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate x Nintendo eShop is the name of the collaboration between Nintendo's crossover fighting game and their digital game shop. As part of the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighter Pass, content from Nintendo's systems would appear in the game in the form of paid downloadable content, including the Nintendo eShop Bag as an additional playable character, Nintendo eShop from Nintendo 3DS as a stage, music from Nintendo system software, and additional spirits.
Introduction: What is Nintendo eShop?
Nintendo eShop is Nintendo's online shopping network. On Nintendo eShop, you can download games and additional content directly to your console. Nintendo eShop is home to many games, including some that don't recieve a physical release. In fact, you may have even downloaded Super Smash Bros. Ultimate off Nintendo eShop! Nintendo eShop has appeared on Nintendo 3DS, WIi U, and Nintendo Switch, and is the successor of sorts to the Wii Shop Channel and DSi Shop. If the user's Nintendo Network ID and Nintendo Account are linked, funds can be shared across all three platforms. As an aside, for a period of about a year and a quarter, Nintendo users in Europe could use an eShop Points Card on the Wii Shop Channel, or any of the eShops. Uniquely, the Nintendo 3DS version of the Nintendo eShop has a mascot of sorts in the form of the eShop Bag, who appears on the loading screen, as well as the download sequence.
Challenger Pack
As part of Challenger Pack sqrt(-1), the following content is added to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
#i: eShop Bag

eShop Bag is added as a playable character, along with a wealth of assorted Nintendo system content. They are listed as Fighter #i. The character, as mentioned in the introduction, originates in the Nintendo 3DS version of the Nintendo eShop, where they appear on the touch screen while the shop loads, after a download begins, and frequently appears doing various things if the player chooses to wait on the download screen.
As a fighter, eShop Bag is rather nimble, being able to quickly react to their opponent's moves, as well as chain together combos if played well. However, most of eShop Bag's quicker moves have little launching power, requiring use of their slower, more punishable moves to take a stock.
Moveset
Copy Ability
When Kirby copies eShop Bag, the top of Kirby's head changes to resemble the top of eShop Bag. As well, Kirby can use the Download move.

Nintendo eShop is the stage that comes with the Challenger Pack. The Nintendo eShop in this game takes on its appearance on Nintendo 3DS. The stage itself takes place on the main menu of said incarnation of the shop. The stage itself is a walkoff stage. The stage consists of two rows of buttons. If a button takes enough damage, the entire row will move in that direction. However, if the top-center button is hit enough, it will instead warp to the download screen. The download screen, too, is a walkoff. In the center is a downloading piece of Nintendo 3DS software. The software downloads automatically, but hitting it fills it faster. Fittingly, eShop Bag's Download move is most effective at filling the download. One complete, the download will be put in a gift box and everyone, including the box itself, will warp back to the main menu. The gift box will then become tangible, and whoever breaks it open will be rewarded. The software and its corresponding rewards are as follows:
- Nintendo Badge Arcade: Arcade Bunny Assist Trophy
- Swapdoodle: Nikki Assist Trophy
- Dillon's Rolling Western: Dillon Assist Trophy
- Hey! Pikmin: Burrowing Snagret Assist Trophy
- Kid Icarus: Uprising: Phosphora Assist Trophy
- New Super Mario Bros. 2: Player becomes Golden
- Super Mario 3D Land: Player recieves a Super Leaf
- WarioWare Gold: Player recieves a random buff from winning a Microgame in the WarioWare, Inc. stage
- Pokemon X, Y, Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire, Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, or Ultra Moon: Random Pokemon

Trivia
- A large amount of code for this article was shamelessly plundered from other Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC pages.
- Specifically, the header was taken from ViVyper's Super Smash Bros. Ultimate X Devil May Cry page, while the boxes for the fighter and stage were instead from Exotoro's Super Smash Bros. Ultimate x NieR:Automata.
- The Nintendo eShop bag was specifically chosen because the article's author genuinely wants them in for some weird reason.
