    Incredible roster compared to other smash games and to any fighting game really. Good stages, 8-players matches, as a Smash Bros series fan I give this game a 10/10 and fully recomend it to Smash fans, people interested in the series and nintendo fans of any of the many many series represented in it.

    Until the Switch game comes out this year, this is one of the ONLY reasons to buy the Wii U. I mean it's smash! Do I really have to tell how great this game is? The combat is engaging, the fanservice is MASSIVE, the gameplay is super fun, the graphics are gorgeous for the Wii U, and the music with remixes and original tracks from Nintendo and a ton of other company's history is fantastic.Until the Switch game comes out this year, this is one of the ONLY reasons to buy the Wii U.

    This is the only Smash Bros I've really played, and bought it because a friend had shown me Brawl. (I didn't play Brawl after that though, and it wasn't very long). A story mode would've been great, although I don't believe it necessary. I love the ability to customize your character is great! AND banned online (to those who believe it unfair).

AND banned online (to those who believe it unfair). Mii fighters are fun, but I'd like to see a more diverse and balanced moveset next time, along with maybe a mage class. The level editor is a step down, due to the "weight limit" and removing the FRICKIN TREADMILLS. I think it's worth it, although I wish there were more unlockables... I hope the next game is as good as this one. Have so far gotten at LEAST 200 hours on it.… Expand

    Tied for being my favourite game of all time. I waited for this game for over a year, and it was completely worth it.

    If you want a fighting game for your Wii U, definitely pick this one because it has the biggest selection of fighters, the game is the most balanced Smash game, the visuals are crisp, and the fighting mechanics are the best. It also has a buttload of content to keep you coming back.

    how ssb was meant to be. at this rate get ssb 5, but this is great. this, ssb 5 and melee will be the kings of the series. melee for fiercely competitive, ssb u for mostly competitive and smash 5 because it is going to be epic. while no story mode is disappointing, everything else is a step up from brawl. only complaint- Saukrai seems to forget real players hate items (*cough* Smash Tour *cough*)

    This game is good. One of the only things that bothers me is that there is no unique title for it. Wii U? 3DS? This seems lazy. We had Melee, Brawl, Ultimate, now Wii U? This makes the game feel weird and not like a Smash Bros game.

    Com uma coisa devemos concordar: Smash é um jogo de luta um tanto quanto excêntrico, não é mesmo? Enorme quantidade de personagens, modos, estágios e, acima de tudo, um cross-over inesperado entre personagens desconexos nunca foi um motivo tão grande para uma constante e encarniçada luta entre alguns dos exemplos mais caricatos e icônicos do mundo dos games.

    Soo... This game is for you competitive and casual gamers. Though why not buy Ultimate now since it is Smash 4 but better... Anyways, it is an amazing game but the lack of players in For glory kind of kills me. It's fun and all but B a y o n e t t a. Would rate 10 but (cough) bayo

    Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is the true casual Smash Bros. experience, taking aspects from Brawl that were already casual and taking them to the max. However, competitive and hardcore players may want to skip this one. No single-player campaign and slow gameplay make Smash for Wii U a nightmare fo non-casual players.

    This game is amazing, and the third party round up is great, and the DLC was really exciting when they started revealing them, however, Bayonetta is way too OP, and there isn't much to do aside from playing smash mode. It really could've done with a story mode.

    Lleva la fórmula Smash hasta un nivel de excelencia que perfectamente supone ser el mejor videojuego de la consola. Pero increíblemente, aún se podía llevar más allá. Qué bueno eres, Ultimate!

    The worst best Smash on the Wii U. It is a truly epic game with more content than ever. It's very similar to ultimate, but obviously has trophies instead of spirits and some fighters missing, but it is still a great game regardless of if you've played ultimate or not

    Because of the DLC factor, I can only give this game a 9 at best. (Only games that are complete without DLC, microtransactions, and paywalls can get a perfect 10 from me.)    … Expand

    Incredibly fun, and super nostalgic for me! This game introduced many staples of the Smash series, such as character CGI trailers, DLC, and, of course, so many third-party reps! Its a shame this game's currently dead.

    This was my most played smash game and it took my friend and I super long to discover all the different powers for all the fighters, 8 player smash was monumental and we were able to make our own battles come alive within it. Truly an awesome addition.

    It has notable flaws in the single player game modes, and the menu is the most disorganized. Even so, I improve its Gameplay, although due to the questionable decision of the new characters they make it somewhat weak compared to the others. Even with its flaws, it is a highly recommended game for new players, and it is one that is at least worth the opportunity.
