    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing game!
    Pros:
    Great graphics
    Great rounds
    Great Music
    Great fighting
    Great moves
    Happy you can make your own mii's
    Happy characters have different smash ball attacks.
    Love the new Classic mode.
    Love All Star mode.
    Love the 8 man brawl
    Happy 15 minute brawl is gone.
    Happy Mewtwo is a DLC

    Happy for new modes.
    Happy with the general idea.

    Cons
    Disappointed Wolf, Ice Climbers, and Snake didn't return.
    Disappointed you started out with most of the characters.

    As you can see, the pros greatly outnumber the cons.
    I highly suggest you get this game. It is totally worth 60$! If you don't have it, then you aren't human.
    (Unless you don't have a Wii U and/or are too poor to get it.)

    Stop reading this and go get it!    … Expand

    This game never gets old. Smash Bros is one of the best Smash games ever made. Not only can you play with Amiibos, but you can play 8 player smash and go online. This is another Nintendo game that will last people a whole generation of fun. The amount of content in this game is insane, ive had this game for half a year and havnt even scratched the surface.

    As an avid Smash Bros. predictor, I was slightly disappointed that the roster wasn;t bigger, but it strikes a balance never seen before in a Smash Bros. game (no completely overpowered characters that have been discovered so far), and customizing character's abilities and specials adds a butt-ton of replay value.
    The new modes are all pretty fun too (including Smash Tour, as long as you have a friend with you), but they can get stale after a while. I suggest rotating what you do to provide a bigger variety in gameplay experience.
    The stages are incredible- the best of any Smash Bros. game to date. And we get a ton of great music scores to boot as well! Well over 50% of them are going to be going on my phone.
    Overall, it makes some slight but successful changes to the Smash Bros. formula and is a blast to play with friends. I give it a 9.5 (rounded up to a 10).    … Expand

    It's certainly a fantastic game no question about that, and certainly one Wii U owners should own especially for when you have friends come around.

    Is it the best Wii U game out there? Close but not quite. I think Bayonetta 2 currently hold that title, which seems strange let me tell you, though I ain't Complaining.

    PROS

    # Its Still the same Smash Bros that we all got around the couch for in the Gamecube and Wii days, It strikes the right balance as being faster than Brawl though not as fast as Melee, just that right balance that I like

    # The character roster is impressive, one of the strongest I've seen in a fighting game just outside of Marvel VS Capcom 2, I especially like some the new characters, I really grew fond of Shulk and Pac-Man rather quickly.

    # 8 Player Smash is really fun, my personal preference is 6 as I feel that's the right balance of players on the field without being too chaotic.

    # LOTS of unlockables, they will certainly keep you busy for weeks on end.

    WHAT I DON'T LIKE

    # The Menu's are a bit tricky to navigate, the fact that some buttons are smaller than others and not very well titled makes them a bit of a hassle to navigate.

    # Lots of recycled assets in the form of Stages and Music tracks, while they are nice to see return I would have appreciated a bit more originality.

    # Smash Tour is lame. Its too randomised and a bit of a slog to be enjoyable. My friends and I tried it twice, the 2nd time when we knew what we were doing and didn't go back to it..

    # Classic mode shares a really annoying gripe I have with Kid Icarus: Uprising, and that is when you die the difficulty is automatically lowered. URRRGHHH DON'T F*****G DO THAT SAKURAI, IT FEELS INCREDIBLY CONDESCENDING AS IF THE GAME IS SAYING: "Oh its too hard for you? Let me make it easier" NO!!!

    I just got this game today after MONTHS of hype, and I have to say...it definitely was worth the wait!.

    Pros: Obvious thing first, the graphics are gorgeous! The game runs at 1080p and 60 frames per second (most of the time, there is lag during online), the colours are extremely vibrant and the animations are masterful!

    Pros:
    Obvious thing first, the graphics are gorgeous! The game runs at 1080p and 60 frames per second (most of the time, there is lag during online), the colours are extremely vibrant and the animations are masterful!
    The gameplay and controls are really easy to pick up and learn, if you have played Super Smash Bros Brawl on the Wii or the 3DS version of this game, you will master the Wii U version without stress.
    The amount of fighters and stages has increased diversely from Brawl and even has more characters than the 3DS version. All of the stages are really fun to brawl on and there isn't a single stage I didn't like.
    There are tons of new challenges to complete, more trophies and many familiar game modes (Classic, events, stadium, all-stars etc.) return, some with slightly new spins and others in their original former glory!
    One of the main new modes in the game is 8-player smash, which allows you to play with up to 7 other friends or CPU controlled characters, I personally found 8 player smash to be a lot of fun, I haven't had the chance to play with friends yet, but I simply cannot wait to do so!

    Cons:
    Not all of the new modes are awesome, I personally found the Smash Tour mode to be tedious and I personally wouldn't want to sink any of my time into it.

    Overall, Super Smash Bros for Wii U is a fantastic experience, it is by far the best game of 2014 (The only other game from 2014 i have played is FIFA 15, and who would give that a GOTY award?) and because of this game alone, there is absolutely NO reason the Wii U shouldn't be selling well.

Look up Spark Man Stage music on YouTube and you will know what I mean. They even decided to go ahead and remix music from Mario Kart 8! A game released a few months ago on the Wii U as well! That's called dedication. Anyway, the gameplay has been perfected from past games. Remember those characters in Brawl of Melee that could spam their regular combo? Yeah, screw that, those aren't found here, thank God. The roster of characters is astounding, including characters like Mega Man, Pac-Man, Rosalina (a personal favorite of mine), and even MewTwo in the near future. Also, when you get above 100% in damage, your fighter now has a smoke effect that instantly warns you when you are at risk of being killed. Also, when you attack an opponent when they are at a dangerous health, they now emit a red spark letting you know that they would probably die then. The maps in this game are the best I have seen in a Smash Bros game, or any fighting/racing/party game. They are all unique in cool ways, like how the Mario Galaxy stage has its own special gravity along the planet, and the Mario Kart 8 stage puts you up against the track at different angles so the karts can do massive damage from multiple locations. Unlike the 3DS version, the stages that returned from past games were much better than stuff like Jungle Japes on 3DS (lol wat). In terms of new game modes, there is so much new stuff here. First, they expand on the returning modes by adding competitive/co op multiplayer to familiar game modes. Also, classic mode is changed drastically. It features you on a game board advancing based on how well you do. Target Blast is okay. It certainly isn't as good as before, but it is still decent. They should have included the old mode, but whatever. All star mode has been improved from the 3DS version since you don't have to jump over the door to get to the health items. The door is on an elevated platform, so you can walk under it to get to the items. The online mode is the best ever with it actually functioning unlike Brawl. It features For Fun and For Glory, depending on how good you think you are. The game has SO MANY CONTROLLER OPTIONS. There is something in the controller department for anybody. The only problem i have with this game is that the blowing item thing from Skyward Sword is ridiculously OP. Buy this game. Give Nintendo all of your savings even though the game only costs $60. Just consider the rest to be a tip for making this masterpiece in the first place.… Expand

    If I would rate the game with the fighting-only in mind, then it would be a 10. It's the smash formula perfected, polished, made more enjoyable than ever.

    HOWEVER it worries me when people give this game only perfect 10's...for me it's a solid 8, it's a great game but there are 3 points that are pretty annoying. First, the controls. I am used to the 3DS iteration and honestly I don't like the way commands work on Wii U. Why change it? On 3DS you could change the default controls, but TELL ME WHY on the Wii U version you can't, but the workaround is: you have to register a "nickname" for the controls, then you have to manually select your name after you selected a character, if you wanna play with custom controls. This is really lame (especially some modes won't remember your last choice). Even more lame if you're the only one using your Wii U at home. I wish Nintendo will patch this! I also hate the fact that sometimes you are against an opponent and the hitbox is acting kinda strange; the hit is registered BEHIND the opponent and it misses. You have to face your opponent properly but the annoying thing is the way character moves. It's a common occurrence to miss items because you moved too far. It's like the analog stick is too sensible - sometimes it's just hard to get EXACTLY where you wanted. It can lead to some frustration in fights.
    The second point is: the lack of "Adventure" mode made me speechless. As a lover of the "Subspace Emissary" mode (or whatever stupid name that was) back in the day I am left wanting more. The adventure mode on 3DS was OK, why leave it out? I absolutely hated the board game. It feels like Super Smash could have easily packed more stuff, or "better" stuff, as brawl did back in the day.
    The third and last point is the presentation. I hate the layout, the menus, the interface feels messy and too chaotic IMHO I see it's a common complaint with a lot of people, not only me...
    I would say Super Smash is a solid game that works but it's not a reason to add an extra point, I see a lot of people do, and it makes me sad this gen when you see that it becomes an extra point to have a working game out of the box. It's how every game should be. It's the way all Nintendo games always been. We should remove points when games don't work, not add points just because they work.
    Now I must praise Nintendo for including demos of the original games behind most characters. There's also so many "collectibles" in the game (Sakurai-style) your head will spin. I must give an extra point because of it. Despite its flaws, you can tell the game was made with love for the characters and the retro games are a great addition.
    Anyway...everything I wrote is my opinion, and my opinion ONLY, and because it's under 9 I feel I will get downvoted like crazy but I just wanted to speak out about this game's issues because there are quite a few IMHO. Still a solid & fun game. Recommended (if not a 'must have') if you own a Wii U! /Peace    … Expand

    Second problem is the amount of unlockable characters. There aren't much unlockable characters, because most are included in the starter game. I feel as though Nintendo should of made half of the starter characters locked through challenges for replay value to stay high.

    It may lack a story mode like Super Smash Bros.

    Super Smash bros for WiiU is an excellent must have game for WiiU owners, of all the smash bros. games so far it is the one with most content of all of them.

    Smash for WiiU mixes the speed of melee and brawl, making it somewhere in between, making it good for both new players, and veterans alike. I would give the game a 10/10, but there are some flaws that detract 1 point, if I had the option i would give the game a 9.8 out of 10.

    Here are a few points of good/bad things:
    + 59 dififerent characters! (if you got the DLC characters)
    + Massive variety in stages
    + Huge amount of awesome music
    + Great visuals
    + 8 player smash, enough said.
    + The largest amount of collectibles in any smash games.
    + The ability to customize characters
    + The ability to make your own mii fighter!
    + Overall well balanced
    + Pretty good AI for CPU players.
    + The amiibos!
    The negatives are pretty minor, but can be worth mentioning:
    - Weird menu design
    - Smash tour is just... bad....
    - Classic mode isn`t that good either....
    - Lack of options while playing online
    - Stage builder is quite lacking in things to build with.

    Overall, I really like this game a lot, and wish I had more people to play it with.    … Expand

The online mode, while offering many options, is often very laggy when playing with multiple players. I do wish that this game included some kind of campaign mode similar to Brawl, but this game includes other gameplay options. Some may think that Smash Tour is a cheap rip-off of Mario Party, but I enjoyed myself playing with it, and it included a few new mechanics that were fun to play with. Overall, this game is a must-buy for Wii U owners and is a phenomenal game that deserves your time.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the best Smash games. Customs add variety of the characters, especially when playing with all the same characters. 8-player Smash is the best feature. You'll like some of the stages before you even have the chance of playing the original games, or just choose the theme that is right for stage and the battle.
    The challenges in the game is harder than the ones on the 3DS game, like beating Classic 9.0 without losing a life, you use a Custom. There is the challenge without the Custom, but you are allowed to lose at least one stock.
    Smash Tour can only be won by luck, same thing for the challenges of letting a Metroid to steal your stats and trying to get them back.
    New characters such as Palutena, and Little Mac are fair enough. I was expecting some characters to have new moves. Dr. Mario uses the same moves that he uses in Melee, which itself is the same Mario's in the past game. Now Mario uses FLUDD, his Cyclone is a Down A. Dr. Mario uses a Doctor Cyclone, and his Jump Punch only hits once, which is fine because that makes him different than other "clones." Lucas is cut from Smash. But, the PK moves that he took from Kumatora is now added Ness' Customs. It would be nice if these protagonists can attack with their own moves or have more MOTHER characters.
    There's a lot of stage music that are so great that you can't decide which is best for Smash.
    Overall, this game is a no disappoint. You better get this game if want to settle it in Smash.    … Expand

    Smash, bros., smash, bros., smash bros., What else is there for me to say guys, it's Super Smash Bros. Is the best in the Series? Well that can depend on one's stance, but let's look at the game and there is a lot to look at here.
    Nintendo packed as much content as they could into this. I can safely say that any one who puts 60$ into this game will have received there money's worth. Of    Smash, bros., smash, bros., smash bros., What else is there for me to say guys, it's Super Smash Bros. Is the best in the Series?

    Nintendo packed as much content as they could into this. I can safely say that any one who puts 60$ into this game will have received there money's worth. Of course what good is content if the content itself is terrible, but super smash bros. isn't bad content. To shortly explain smash Bros., it's a 2D fighting game consisting of characters who are (with some exceptions) all from Nintendo brand games and they beat the crap out of each other. And it is fun. The control scheme is very simplistic and easy to understand, as you don't have to mess around with memorizing long combos. Despite its simplicity, smash can get very intense if the players are skilled enough, this has been shown by the large competitive community. Of course you don't have to be a competitive smasher in order to like this game, smash is still a great casual game if you wanna play with 1-7 of your friends. Yes I said 7 because this game features an 8-player smash mode. These matches are so hectic and at times I've found myself losing where my character is. It's still a lot of fun, but if you plan on playing this mode, I advise playing on a larger map. There are also tons of control options so chances are you can get enough of your friends together without having to shell out more cash than you need. The returning modes from brawl are the ones that have been staples in the series. Classic, All-star, Event matches, Home-run, target, and multi man smash but some of these modes have been changed. Classic now has a difficulty meter similar to the one in Kid Icarus uprising, where the more money you bet, the greater your rewards are. But if you die, you will lose some of your prizes. You also now can pick the players you fight rather than having it decided for you, which is nice. The final boss has also been changed, and let me just say this, be ready to throw your controller for how many times you will die to this boss. Oh and there is 2-player classic, which is always welcome. Event matches are similar to what they were, except now they have an additional challenge to them as well as having exclusive co-op ones. You also unlock the various event matches based on which ones you do. All star now has you fighting the characters in the order in which they were created chronologically, as in when they came out. They aren't exactly "hard" to beat, but because you have lots of enemies to fight, it's more or less an endurance test for the player. Target Blast has been changed from brawls. In this one, you now have to hit a bomb and blow up the targets angry birds style. I actually liked this mode more than the one in Brawl, though it isn't exactly a mode you'll be playing too much. Multi-man smash is very much the same, although you now have to fight the mii fighters. Speaking of which, mii fighters are now a thing as well as character customization. You get different movesets and can equip stat boosts, but it isn't exactly anything too deep. Still nice addition though. Home run contest is just as fun as it was back in brawl. In terms of new things to do, there is a lot. The new Crazy orders and Master orders are incredibly fun. Crazy orders specifically. If you are a gambling type, beware this mode. You do a challenge and you can keep doing more challenges until the time runs out or you die. You can cash in whenever you want or you can keep going and try to get more rewards. But if you die, you're going to lose a lot your rewards. Master orders is more so a set of challenges you can pay to do rather than like crazy orders, but it can still be fun. Trophy rush is a nice distraction and can be helpful to those trying to get all the trophies. The new smash tour mode is alright. It play's like this Mario party hybrid, where you roll dice and try to get as many fighters as possible. It ends in a final match where you are pitted against one another and the amount of fighters you have determines your stock. It is a little bit complicated, but there's still fun to be had in this mode. The new character rooster is also very impressive. We got plenty of returning characters but we also have tons of new characters, each with there own unique ways to play. Though I do miss Wolf. The online is also much better than on Brawl. Connection is smooth, and the option to play casual or hardcore gives players the ability to get some good competition to test themselves out. But really, what else is there to say, it's smash bros. Sure there isn't an adventure mode in this one, but the amount of other fun modes this game has made me forget about it. Plus do you really need a story in a fighting game. Pick this game up at full price. Don't have a Wii U? Might be time to consider it my friend. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U earns a 10/10, a must own.    … Expand

Online is pretty great as well, which they added two modes, For Fun and for Glory. Single Player and Multiplayer Mode is pretty fun as well. I enjoyed Classic, All Star, Stadium and Event Modes as well. 8 Players Smash is such pure chaos with everything happen all at once on screen with lots of Insane KOs and craziness at the sametime and with so many great fun stages to play on, there is quite like but smashing. Also as well is the Amiibos support which i say one of the coolest feature of this game, which all u do is to train them and level them up to level 50 and then put them in 8 Players which there also fun to play with as well. So i must really say that Sakurai and his staff members of Nintendo Really Did a freaken Awesome job with everything making this game best fighting of all time and making this game Super Glorious in HD as well. And with So many Fun Content mode as well even with DLC this is so much fun things to do with friends. Also witn So many alot of Controller Options to with such as The Wii U Gamepad, Wii U Pro Controller, Gamecube Controller(Which u need a adapter for it) Wii Remote, Wii Remote and Nunchuk, Wii Classic Controller, Wii Classic Controller Pro, Fight Pad, Hori Battle Pad, And The Nintendo 3DS (Which u need a copy of the smash 3DS for it) So Once Funnest game ever and should definitely keep making this game More Funner.… Expand

    I’m a huge fan of the Smash Bros series and was eagerly awaiting its release on Wii U and 3DS, hoping it would capitalise on what it’s Wii predecessor had put in place, and it did just that and more.

    Being an old school smasher, I enjoyed playing the game with the Gamecube pad, but unfortunately, the adapter is in very short supply, so had to manage with the pro controller and the WiiU pad. These are not the only ways to play though, as you can pretty much use anything in your room to play! Wii remote, nunchuk, classic controller and 3DS can all be used to play on the WiiU version, which is great for people who can’t afford the extra pads.

    I’m not going to spoil the unlockables, but there are so many characters and stages to unlock that you’ll have a fun time trying to collect everything including all those trophies and stickers! DLC is also planned for new characters, so you can look forward to new or veteran fighters in the games life span. There is also early access to Mewtwo to those who purchase both 3DS and WiiU versions of the game, a character I actively enjoyed playing with in the Gamecube version.

    One thing I do miss from a previous game was the Subspace Emissary mode that has been replaced with Smash Tour in the WiiU. This is due to social media being too easily to access, it can spoil the nostalgia of a storyline if browsing a simple website. Smash Tour does stand tall in its place though, where it takes on the role of a mini Mario Party game, but yourself VS other Miis collect upgrades and fighters for the final battle to see who came out on top.

    Nintendo have also given gamers something to take their minds off this though with the inclusion of 8 player smash mode, where the cap used to be 4 players or the slight painful rotation mode, you can now have up to 8 players playing simultaneously, all using their own controller from the many to choose from, without having to wait for someone to be smashed off stage to join in the fun!

Also 8 player smash is chaotic and is extremely fun to play with friends. Simply put this is the best game on any console to play when you get together with friends and i spend countless hours smashing it up with mine. The amount of content in this game is mind boggling with tons of trophies to get, soundtracks to unlock, and retro pieces of old games that you get to play. There is also a vast amount of modes, and some characters to unlock that it will keep you busy for a long time.

While there are no revolutionary breakthroughs, it still adds upon what was there in previous games and makes it worth the buy.

    The new additions to the series are fun to play and have a unique style. Characters like Mega Man and Shulk bring new playstyles the series has never really seen, so the roster is sure to have a character or several to suit every player. A few characters like Dark Pit and Lucina are the familiar clone archetype, matching other characters almost exactly, but this is nothing new for the series and doesn't detract from the much more numerous novel additions.

    Smash 4 also adds custom moves and items. The items allow players to customize their characters by increasing their attack power, defense, or speed as well as adding additional abilities. An increase in one stat necessarily means a decrease in another, however, preventing the customization ability from getting too far unbalanced. Custom moves also give players the option to change special moves to something more suiting their playstyle. While these features can add some fun variability, Smash 4 does not allow their use online with strangers, somewhat limiting their fun. If you don't have friends who also own the game or frequently play with you, you'll only get to use your custom character against computer characters.

    The stage selection has a mix of the old and the new. Old favorites like Hyrule Temple and Kongo Jungle 64 make return appearances alongside a slew of brand new places. The new stages are, on average, much more... interactive than previous games' stages. There are stages that just let you be and provide footing on which to fight, but most of them want in on the action. The degree to which this is a good thing varies with the stages. Some stages, like Woolly World and Pilotwings merely switch up the ground you're standing on and can improve the gameplay by varying the terrain, but others like Mushroom Kingdom U and Orbital Gate Assault include stage hazards that are capable of KOing your character in one go. These and stage bosses can prove to be a bit much for the somewhat serious player.

    To offset such dynamic stages, however, is the stage builder. It has its own unique limitations, making it different but not better than Brawl's stage builder. Careful crafters can end up making gorgeous stages that are loads of fun to play on, and the lack of ability to add stage hazards guarantees it'll be relatively peaceful.

    The standard Smash mode adds 8-player smash, which is a useful addition if you have more than three friends over and don't want to take turns. Online provides both For Fun and For Glory modes of play, the former being a more casual take and the latter being more competitive. While it's fun to play with strangers, both these modes have their shortcomings. For Fun is limited to 4-player, all items on, 2 minute timed mode which isn't always to the taste of the players. For Glory forces the player into two stock, no items matches that can be played with four players or one on one. The unfortunate thing about For Glory is that it also forces players to fight on variations of Final Destination, a completely flat and featureless stage. For the most part, though, the excitement of fighting actual, thinking people outweighs the limitations of online play.

    The last real multiplayer mode is Smash Tour. This mode is very hit or miss. At its most basic, it is a board game where one collects fighters and powers them up for a duel at the end. While this may sound simple, the game throws a multitude of additional effects and rules in the game that can make it far too complicated and busy for many. For others, all the extras provide some variation to an otherwise rather simple game. It does expect you to teach a lot of the rules and strategy to yourself, however, which scares away many players.

    While two players can play the remaining modes, they were built with one player in mind. Target Blast replaces the target test from previous games, and while it can be enjoyable, it gets stale fast and pales in comparison to the target test, especially Melee's. On the other hand, Event Mode returns and is the most fun it's ever been. The selection is more dynamic and the challenges more difficult.

    The lack of a true Adventure Mode hurts the game's single player aspect, especially coming off Brawl's much loved Subspace Emissary. And while the game's large roster only helps multiplayer, it can make All Star mode drag on a bit long. Classic Mode is similarly tedious, although they're both fun in small amounts.

    All in all, Smash 4 took some steps back and many steps forward. Its single player isn't as enjoyable as previous titles, but its multiplayer is better than ever. Its "worst" aspects are only relative, and everything in the game is still quality and enjoyable. You may not be blown out of the water, but you'll still have a great time.    … Expand

You can play it competitively and causally. It offers tons of content to work with a huge orchestration and soundtrack with some of the best music ever put in a video game.

I got Smash U launch day, and 3 days have passed and I have gotten maybe a total of 10 hours of sleep. This game is insanely addicting with its many game modes, enticing unlockables, and mindless yet extremely skillful gameplay. The Smash series is the epitome of "easy to learn, hard to master". And the extensive list of characters make you want to master them all. And I have only mastered Little Mac, Pac-Man, and Mega Man. And I still have to master 48 and still needing to play 36. Another great addition to the game was the Mii fighters, which allow you to make your Miis into playable fighters. One feature I have yet to try is the Amiibo system. Which, from my understanding, is a process where you can increase character stats and make them stronger by buying and "training" plastic figures which you scan. I have never been a fan of this system, as I feel it is a way for developers to bleed their fans of money. This has always bothered me since Skylanders came out, followed by Disney Infinity. It just seems like freemium games, yet you're still paying $60 for a game, and having to spend $10 on a figure just to play another small portion of the game. Luckily, Smash U does this in a less evil way, because the game comes with all of the characters, but you have the option to make them stronger by paying for it. But all in all, this game is amazing, fun, addictive, and gorgeous. And it is by far my favorite game of 2014 so far, and the best entry of the Smash series to date. Great job Nintendo, even though you make bad business decisions, you still manage to make amazing first party exclusives.… Expand

    Graphics: 9/10:
    They look really nice and wonderful on the Wii U

    A large range of characters with different moves and styles, some of the moves with some characters you can just button mash but most you don't do that.

    Maps 8/10:
    Again, a nice range of different styled maps with just great backgrounds and platforms.

    Soundtrack 10/10:
    The soundtrack is one of the best parts of the game, it's beautiful amazing with a massive range of different songs from different games by each character for example: Link, Fox, Ness, Megaman, Sonic, Pokemon (Pikachu, Charizard, etc) and of coarse Mario.

    Mini games 7/10:
    There are mini games in there like trophy rush, classic and others plus the new smash tour which is also pretty fun if you want any time wasters.

    For me.... the online was not the best I have seen, alot of the time (like 95%) I would get a laggy match made game with people not close to me like hardly close (mostly Japanese people) since I live in Australia I will get hardly a non lagging match, probably the best match I got was where it was a little bit laggy and after that it was full on lagging.

    I can't say if this game is better than any other Super Smash Brothers game, as this is my first, but I can say that it is probably my favorite game altogether as of now...and here's why.

    The pros: Pretty much everything works. You won't be worrying about any glitches, or controls that aren't responsive, or some other thing. The characters are all fleshed out, the control scheme,    I can't say if this game is better than any other Super Smash Brothers game, as this is my first, but I can say that it is probably my favorite game altogether as of now...and here's why.

    The pros:
    Pretty much everything works. You won't be worrying about any glitches, or controls that aren't responsive, or some other thing. The characters are all fleshed out, the control scheme, despite needing a small learning curve...perhaps a custom makeover to suit your needs, works very well. It makes for fast paced gameplay, and one great time with friends and family.

    The music. The amount of music in this game is humongous for a game, period. I doubt you'll find as much music here in any other video game, in all honesty. And pretty much every track is good, originals and remixes alike. Stuff like Mute City, Mario Galaxy, and Final Destination's remix (ver 2) are all examples of how great the music is in this game.

    Customization. You can now customize your characters to not only edit their strengths and weakness, but also add bonus effects to them. But the bonus effects tend to provide a bigger negative than positive. There's also negative bonus effect equipment, which, with a proper set up, can make any character overpowered. There's also custom special moves, meaning you can edit your character's abilities to your liking.

    The character roster. It's huge, you'll have a hard time finding a favorite, as each character is unique and fun to play as...except Wii Fit Trainer.

    The modes. There's a lot of single player modes here, more than your average game, and each has some new twist. Fight everyone in the game. Go through various foes till you get to the boss fight. Events mode, special orders...and much more. There's also online, meaning you can fight both anyone online, and your friends online as well.

    The cons.

    A lot of this actually relates to what I just previously said.

    Acquiring customs: This has got to be one of the biggest grind fests I've had to go through. There is absolutely no easy way out of this. You want them? You're gonna have to grind for them. The main problem is that customs are given to you randomly. Literally, every time you play a single player mode, every time, custom moves are handed out randomly. But that's not the main problem...duplicates are.

    You see, as you play the game more and more, the chances of you getting new custom moves decreases, but instead of just not giving you as many new custom moves, they give you the same amount...but not really. You'll find that you'll have "acquired" 7 custom moves in the new Classic Mode, only to have them be what you JUST got beforehand. It's a pain, and even though I have 300 custom moves, and unlocked many characters full custom movesets...I really shouldn't have basically gotten absolutely nothing for many of my attempts.

    There's also equipment. Trust me, if you don't start selling some of this stuff quick, you're gonna find yourself with easily 1,000+ of these things. Why? Because the majority of customs tends to be custom equipment. They say it's new, but in reality, it's not. It's almost always something you just got, so you're not really getting anything new, you're just getting more equipment.

    This IS a problem, because people like customization...people LOVE customization. People are gonna wanna get this stuff as fast as possible, and play the game to it's fullest extent. It's disappointing that I couldn't have had a more definitive way to get this stuff. Same thing with trophies, it's random as to whether you get a new one, or not. However, Final Smash trophies are awarded to those who beat All-Star Mode (on any difficulty, seemingly).

    The AI: If you have no friends or family (which I seriously doubt...but who knows), you will quickly stop playing on any mode with any semblance of difficulty, and switch to online. This is because the AI will either perfectly dodge, shield, or roll away from you constantly on levels 8-9 for cpu's. Classic Mode is where this main problem arises, both 8 and 9 have the problem.

    All-Star on hard, to a similar extent, but not so much and it makes sense. There's also Classic, where items can't be turned off. You'd think the wise decision would be to go into the group where their damage racks up, and you can easily kill them. But that's not the case. They'll always get the item, because large groups are just...too chaotic at times. But not JUST because of chaos, but it's because they automatically gravitate towards them. Even in a fight, they'll start gravitating towards the thing.

    It's incredibly annoying...

    And lastly, the challenges.

    I have not done these challenges. I don't plan on doing them. Many of these challenges are not challenges, but require you to do something like beat All-Star on Hard 49 times...and no one has the patience for stuff like that.

    I could go more in-depth for cons and pros, but the character limit sucks. The game is fun, get it    … Expand

Though this game has many references, I feel like this game lacks a theme or at least anything majorly new. The first game was all set in a child's imagination, played out by Master Hand, featuring the Nintendo characters as plush toys that would "come to life" and "duke it out". Melee introduced the characters as trophies, having a way bigger character roster, putting some adventure levels in the game, and introducing us into a new character called Crazy Hand. Brawl created a story mode which featured the theme of society controlling the actions of a creator. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U introduced... um... Smash Tour. It's so missing a theme that it doesn't even have its own creative name to distinguish itself from the other three games. People keep saying that the graphics are way better than Brawl in this game but honestly, I can't tell that much of a difference. As a matter of fact, if it wasn't for the game being in HD, this game would look exactly the same as Brawl. This game feels more like an expansion to Brawl than anything. Even the menus look identical. Despite everything I've said though, it's still a wonderful game. Anyone who sees this game should give it a try. You'll have loads of fun.… Expand

It is the culmination of years and years of Nintendo's hard work to develop franchises that are appreciated, beloved, and celebrated. It does what very few (arguably no other) game can do, and that is bring together icons that define entire genres of video gaming and brings them together to fight it out in brawls that can be entirely fun, family-friendly, and care-free; or epic matches of insane depth, calculations, and frame-perfect moves that spectators can't get enough of until the announcer declares "GAME!" Super Smash Bros. for Wii U continues the legacy of Smash, with game developer Masahiro Sakurai finding a way to improve on everything he has done so far.

    Smash 4 is fast, fluid, and fun. While Melee was praised for its speed and flow, it could sometimes be critiqued for its overwhelming mechanics that got in the way of the fun for the wider audience. Brawl was fluid and fun, but lacked a speed and weight to it that made Melee appeal to the competitive side of the Smash community. Smash 4 finds a way to meet in the middle, creating an engine that allows anyone to pick up the controller, play, and have fun - but also allowing Smashers to enter their lab and dissect every frame of the game until they discover the maximum potential of their fighter.

    Beyond the simple "Smash" matches, there are several game modes that allow you to experience different perspectives of the world Sakurai has created. Smash Tour encourages you to try out different characters in a board-game style game, while Classic Mode makes you stick with one fighter while facing off against enemies you wouldn't normally face. As someone who plays Toon Link, I rarely deviate from my wind waking champion, but Smash Tour stretches and challenges me - giving me new appreciation for other fights. My brother often plays Wario, and while he may shift to a patronizing Mario every now and then, I often do not get the opportunity to play another character unless I dabble around in For Glory mode (more on that later). Classic Mode allows you to face off against every character of the roster in unique matches of varying stages. There are many other modes as well, from multi-man mindless melees to trophy rush! (You asked for trophies on Wii U didn't you)?

    Speaking of trophies, Smash acts as a museum of not only the fighters you see in the game, but also their respective universe's allies and baddies. Each trophy has an attention to detail that makes you wish each one was real (which leads to amiibo, more on that later). You can spend hours getting lost in the Nintendo lore found within these screens, and Sakurai gives you numerous ways to view them all in their glory.

    Speaking of amiibo, let me briefly discuss this neat feature that expands this masterpiece. Amiibo make their debut with Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Amiibo are Near Field Communication figurines that you can buy separately, allowing you to tap this physical toy to the Gamepad. This awakens the fighter's trophy in-game that can then be trained to a high-level artificial intelligence as a sparring partner. Outside the game, they are not movable; you can make no poses with them other than their default pose. And yet... I must have them all.

    I could go on and on with the amount of content in this game. What is absolutely baffling is that all of this content does not dilute the experience of the individual modes we have grown to love through past Smash entries. As a matter of fact, each is intricately connected in a way that the game is magnified through its size, enhancing the entertainment to a new level. Separate from all of these modes is the online mode. Online you can choose to fight in For Fun or For Glory. For Fun celebrates the mayhem of items, hazards, and more with numerous brawlers causing chaos on the screen, and For Glory brings the fight down to a personal level, with no items, Final Destination formed stages, and a record-keeping system. Whether you fight for fun, glory, friends, or freedom - online mode is definitely worth your interest if you've somehow exhausted all the base-game has to offer, which leads me to my conclusion.

    It will take a long time to experience all this game has to offer. To unlock every trophy, every challenge, to complete every mode, and to collect every custom move (which also takes the traditional Smash formula and flips it on its head) would take a long, long time. Once that is done, there is still glory to earn online. As I write this review I think of another mode, another innovation, another piece of charm that sets this game apart from all others out there. Buy it, try it, and enjoy everything it is. It is the game every Wii U owner should have, it is the game that should inspire non-Wii U owners to finally buy a Wii U, and it is the game that will continue to be played until the Wii U's life is done. Show me your moves!    … Expand

    Smash Bros (I wish they had a more clever name!!! for 3DS and Wii U) is such a fun game. I'll just give it a good rating. I don't have to give you reasons because you guys have to try it yourself. >.>

    Such a great game. Good characters, stages, music and modes. Online works perfect for me, no lag at all. And DLC which is just at the right price. A recommended buy for all.

    There is no other game out there where you get to beat up a Nintendo character like Super Smash...Oh wait, I forgot about Soul Caliber II, but we are not talking about that awesome game that includes Link as a fighter. Super smash Bros. is one of the best, most competitive fighting games out there. Even from the first one on the N64 to the latest one on the Wii U, they've been da best!

    I bought this game only because of for glory online multiplayer and it sure was worth it. If there was a tournament mode in online I would have given 10/10.

    If this game won't make you start paying attention to Nintendo again, then I don't know what will. This game is truly marvelous. And it's one of the best of all time in my opinion.

This game is truly marvelous. And it's one of the best of all time in my opinion.

    But before I talk about how amazing it is, let's take a look at presentation. The game looks absolutely beautiful. The characters take their primary colors unlike the other games where they didn't look too good, the game runs at a faster pace than Brawl(Sorry, but not Melee speed), and the game feels great for both Brawl and Melee players. Recommend it for both audiences. Another thing great about this game is the online. Almost ALL OF THE LAG IS GONE!

    Not only is the presentation great, but the gameplay is even better. It feels and plays like a Smash Bros. game. You can even play with 8 Players. Yes, you can have a whole party with chips and everything all dedicated to playing Smash Bros. with friends! You can even bring your Mii into the battle and even select which class he is(i.e: Brawler, Sword Fighter, or Gunner). And even though it isn't as fast-paced as Melee, it still is fast enough to make those lovely Melee combos and enrage your opponent, Call of Duty style. The only problem I have with the gameplay is Smash Tour. More like Smash Bore. They don't give you freedom to select which character to use or even which color. You can also change a stage into an Omega mode, which makes a stage into a Final Destination form. This especially works in For Glory mode online.

    In conclusion, this is my favorite Wii U game by far. Not even Xenoblade X will top this game. Heck, not even MARIO KART 8 tops this! If you're too busy playing GTA V on your PS4 and Xbox One to pay attention to Nintendo, this game is the perfect reason why you should return to your childhood.

    Definitely worth paying $60 for.    … Expand

    Best Smash game ever. It was really fun when it first came out, and unlocking everything kept me busy for a while. When I completed most of the game, I would just battle my friends and family. There wasn't a time where I wasn't satisfied.

    So well as Melee and exceeding by far Brawl, this new opus of SSB answers all the expectations of the players, a good music, graphics nice, a balancing of the characters excellent and a magnificent gameplay.
    I cannot give that a single note, one 10.

    Overwhelmingly impressed with this game, I've been a fan since the original and have been Smashing since. Every Smash game I've ever played I dump massive hrs into, this one is no different.

Every Smash game I've ever played I dump massive hrs into, this one is no different. This time the characters, online MP, and Amiibo integration have really really impressed me. Back in the Melee days I felt as thought you could easily master each character, Brawl gave us more variety (Snake), but Wii U has given us versatility in playing styles. You can't play Villager the same way you play Fox. It requires you figure out how to play each character. Not just smashing until you hit your opponent, plus you can even choose which controller you prefer to use, I actually have friends that do no prefer the GC controller, even some that bring their own Pro Controller. I love that about this game, I feel like each character is your own and to play as another takes a bit of exploration and discovery.

    Even though online is great, having friends over to play 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, or 4v4, or straight up free for all is a blast as always. With the Omega stages giving us a variety for serious plays and crazy stages like the Pikman stage keep things fresh. Although %40 of my online games get lag, I'm pretty sure it's cuz the wife is sitting next to me watching Netflix on her iPad.... -_-

    If you haven't purchased an Amiibo.... DON'T... just kidding, I recommend getting your favorites, but save yourself the trouble and DO NOT be a collector, with constant scalping and shortages, it gets out of hand unless you have $$$ to shell out, then by all means! However, if you do, you will really enjoy what they can do. You train them like you would a Pokemon/dark version of yourself. I've even had a friend bring his, then bet that his lvl 50 Amiibo could be beat mine, things like that just make the game addicting on so many levels. Even when you max the Amiibo out, it can still learn. Making constantly change your tactics.

    Bottom line, if you have a Wii U this is a must have!    … Expand

    Super Smash Bros for the Wii U may be the greatest smash yet. With more fighters than Brawl and brand new game modes, this 4 player jamboree is guaranteed to keep you playing for hours on end.

    Super Smash Bros. for Wii U gave some of the most fun i've had in years.
    Technically it is perfect, features a big roster and many maps.
    A must have for Wii U owners
    Edit: I actually think this is a 9, just cause of the Party mode, it sucks.

    I still love Melee more but it's surely the 2nd best Smash Bros. and with it's huge roster of playable characters there is something for everyone, if they also would have stuck with some old modes I really miss in this game it could have been a 10/10.
