    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.

    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.

    This game is great at pretty much everything except the core gameplay which is overly floaty, unbalanced, and uninteresting. Although it wasn't even able to provide an interesting story mode akin to Subspace Emissary. Having marginally better combat than Brawl doesn't matter if you're single player content is worse.

    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.

    I love the selection of characters, and amiibo compatibility. However, matches are extremely uneven online. Need a better ranking system and the online lag doesn't help it.

    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

    A really enjoyable game, that's sadly already being forgotten about because of Ultimate. That's because the gameplay was already so good in this one. It's just been tweaked to be better in that game. People should give this game more credit.

    It's just so fun, man.

    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.

    No creo poder decir nada nuevo en éste aspecto, en lo personal no lo considero un juego de peleas tal cual sino un Party-Game muy bien promocionado.
    El Gameplay es muy sencillo de aprender puesto que todos los movimientos hacen uso de la misma combinación de botones y, por si fuera poco, la cantidad de caos que se ve en pantalla durante los combates permiten que, aún sin intentarlo, tus ataques lastimen a un personaje. Tarde o temprano.

    La cantidad de personajes es muy decente, así que uno puede jugar largo tiempo sin miedo a repetir.

    GRÁFICOS:
    Visualmente es muy bueno. Algunos de los escenarios son más atractivos que otros (sobre todo aquellos con mucho colorido), pero en general se disfruta mucho.

    SONIDO:
    El apartado más destacable del juego ya que cada pieza brilla por sí misma. El soundtrack completo es excelente y es lo que logra que nos emocionemos con las batallas y las disfrutemos aún más.

    I don't really like this game a whole lot. It's a good game, but the issue is it does the same things Brawl and Melee do, but worse. There are removed fighters, no story mode and a lack of other features that just makes the game less enjoyable than the others in the series. Definately Smash Bro' weakest entry. Just play Brawl or Ultimate.

I don't care if NintendoBlackCrisis forces me to like super smash bros. or bully people over having a different opinion on the series than the smash fandom. This game has the worst replay value of the entire series, along with possibly the worst item spawning I have ever seen in literally any video game. There was one time where I was playing on Classic on 9.0 and I was trying to attack my opponent while playing as Yoshi on Round 1 until suddenly I attacked midair while a bob-omb spawned on my foot and I got KO'd. Another example of terrible item spawning is one time in another battle, I was charging up my burning drop kick playing as one of my custom mii characters, and while I was charging it up a blast box spawned in front of me and once I finished charging up, I shot against it and got KO'd. The old modes in both versions aren't as fun either anymore. The stage creator has been downgraded in this game, and it has also heavily decreased the number of objects I can place on a custom stage. The new stage creator for the wii U version looks unfinished and rushed comparing to Brawl's stage creator. There is also no new adventure mode either, which was removed due to a pointless reason. The entire hunk of garbage is also way too gimmicky for a smash game. To me, Classic Mode is easily the worst part about the game because believe it or not, you have to spend gold to play classic mode. Another fun fact: if you quit classic mode and lose all of your progress recently made, your gold and customization parts get wasted. That's right, there is no property refunding in this so-called ''masterpiece''. You are forced to stick to your current gold amount and your current custom parts. In fact, when you have earned custom parts but then lose a match on 9.0, some of your custom parts get taken away. Even when it is rare, Sakurai doesn't care and counts everything that is unfair. I even completed Classic on 9.0 without losing a single life and you know what I got? NOTHING. No achievement completions, no prizes, nothing. So not only is one of the challenges in this game all a damn joke, but there are also more problems in this game than classic mode, which was just like wasting possibly 2 hours of my life trying to reach the most pointless achievement in this game. The rewards for the achievements you complete in this game are not enough. For example, I wasted like 20,000 gold trying to complete the achievement ''Complete Classic Mode on 9.0 without losing a single life'' and what do I get when I actually cleared that achievement? A useless protection badge that is barely any use for battle. The trophies and special moves in this game are also a waste of space on Classic Mode. Every time you clear something on Classic and you are hoping to get something good, sometimes, you get something you already have that is also a troll feature in the game that was never removed or fixed. The shield feature in this game is also useless as all hell because sometimes attacks pierce through your shield, so you have to hope that your shield doesn't tell you to buzz off and force damage on you or get you in a situation where you go dizzy.to me, that doesn't even make any sense. And also, why can't I play more than 4 players on Special Smash? The game doesn't even explain. Besides, comparing to ultimate, there would be no lag at all in an 8 player special smash, yet ultimate decided to limit the number of players on special smash too for aparently no reason whatsoever. By the way, it also recycles the code from the item spawning in Smash 4, meaning that all terrible item spawning is still present. The reason why I am not reviewing ultimate is because I don't want the SSB fandom to attack me and force me to like all of smash 4's terrible features. To be fair, however, Smash run and smash tour weren't as bad. But what does require explanation is why on earth can the wii U users play on 8 player but the 3ds users can't? To me, that is very hypocritical considering that Sakurai removed the ice climbers from Smash 4 due to it being unfair for the 3ds owners. I'd imagine that would have had no lag. And finally, some of the older stages that was once present in the smash bros. franchise have not been featured in Smash 4 due to no reasoning at all. If the developers of this game are seriously that bad at making games and they consider THIS to be their best work, then I'm worried about their other creations. Overall, this is a very unfortunate attempt to revive the smash franchise and continue to have its great recognition as Brawl v2 would have been a better title. I highly apologize if this review was not very good, but to me, this is possibly the worst game of the series. And it is also the 2nd most pointless video game that I have ever played in recorded video game history. 0/10. I do not recommend this rushed mess to long-time smash fans, especially when they are still hyped for future SG… Expand

    It's Smash Bros, load of modes, characters and fun. Only thing missing is Story Mode. DLC are abusive, expensive and too many.

Brawl and I couldn't wait to play Super Smash Bros. 4, Lots of people anticipated the game when it was announced at E3 2011, By making fan rosters as predictions to what the game might look like. But when it came out, OH boy were there problems, First off, Adventure Mode has been removed completely, So that means there's not as much stuff to do besides playing the Smash mode. Also, the game only has 8 unlockable characters while it's predecessor has 16. Brawl feels more like a challenge than 4. Another complaint, Sonic's new voice is way too deep and Fox's new voice is way too nasal compared to their Brawl iterations. And unfornately, Wolf , Ice Climbers and Snake still have not returned from Brawl yet. Also one of my Smash 4 picks Shadow the Hedgehog got into the games as an assist trophy. Some of my favorite stages like Mushroomy Kingdom and Green Hill Zone return in the 3DS version. Also, the textures even though there are HD, the cartoonish art style makes them look worse than Brawl. Brawl's textures made the Wii look better and more competitive than it actually is. Overall, I just feel like this sequel is lacking a lot that Brawl had and it definitely does not convince me to buy a Wii U. Other than that, a least the sound track's good.… Expand

    The next installment of the Super Smash Bros series is a solid addition. While there are no revolutionary breakthroughs, it still adds upon what was there in previous games and makes it worth the buy.

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

    This game is spectacular. The huge amount of characters added to the game, and even better stage creation! But I'm getting ahead of myself here. Let's talk about the different aspects of the game.

    A: Music/Sounds Could not be better. I am simply astounded by the amount of music that has been put into the game. You know that Legend of Zelda music that you love so much? That's in it.    This game is spectacular. The huge amount of characters added to the game, and even better stage creation! But I'm getting ahead of myself here. Let's talk about the different aspects of the game.

    A: Music/Sounds

    Could not be better. I am simply astounded by the amount of music that has been put into the game. You know that Legend of Zelda music that you love so much? That's in it. You know that Super Mario Brothers theme? That's in it. Pretty much all soundtracks (Even some have been remixed) in the history of Nintendo have been added to the game. The voices of all of the characters are great, and the sounds are fluid and top-quality. The music, is perfect.

    10/10

    B: Graphics

    Beautiful. The graphics could not get much better than this. I mean, it doesn't look realistic - but it isn't supposed to be! You don't need graphics to make a game like this amazing, but man - they pulled the graphics off really well. The individual scales on Bowser are visible, the threads on Mario's hat - and the stages look better than they have ever been before. Unfortunately, the graphics aren't the best in the world - the characters are fine, but some of the stages look a little outdated.

    9/10

    C: Gameplay

    Beautiful. An amazing mix of Brawl and Melee. Not too floaty, not too fast. Controlling the characters are very easy, and some characters do require special techniques to work best. For example, Marth does maximum damage when you hit another character with the tip of his sword, whilst Roy does maximum damage when you hit them closer to the hilt of the blade. No matter how much you play the game, you can still get better. You can still learn. And thanks to the great Amiibo support, you can even have someone learn with you! I haven't even mentioned the monstrous amount of stages and Characters. It will probably take you over a day to try them all out properly! They really excelled at this. I can't see how they could have improved it at all.

    10/10

    D: Online

    Unfortunately, they didn't do all that well with this. But of course, I have never really been much of an online gamer - so I barely touched this. There's lag during the online matches (generally because of the other person's bad connection) and the tourneys are really strange as well. You can't play as Miis or use your custom stages, but I can understand why you can't do that. But I would have really enjoyed playing as my Mii. I'm not going to get into the DLC, but let me tell you that it is amazing what they have added.

    5/10

    Overall, Super Smash Brothers. for Wii U is an amazing game that can still be enjoyed for generations to come. I can't wait to see what more DLC they will add, before they have to depart. I've definitely played my fair share of the game. It has surpassed its predecessors, by a long mile.

The lack of a story mode similar to the subspace emissary is also a huge draw back for single player-ability, especially since it was only not included because Sakurai was apparently ignorant of the existence of Youtube. The removal of the characters, the Ice Climbers, as a result of Sakurai for some reason wanting to release a game that clearly had difficulties on the 3DS on that handheld is also a very poor decision; the game feels like it's lacking innovation and one has to wonder if it has to do with this decision. The new characters also are largely added only for visual appeal rather than celebrating Nintendo History, and there are more questionable inclusions(cloud, dark pit as a separate character, wii fit trainer, 20 different fire emblem characters) than there are good ones(little mac, ryu).

    Graphics: It looks exactly like brawl....that's it. It's not necessarily a 'bad' thing but since this came out in a time when the Wii U was having troubles making itself look separate from the Wii making your flagship title resemble the previous incarnation's flagship title is a supremely stupid move; it doesn't really affect the game in of itself, but I personally don't like the relatively washed out colours (as opposed to Melee and 64) and plushie like appearance of anything that supposed to be soft. But for what it does it's fantastic, just wish they'd make it look stylistically different from Brawl to capitalize how much more refined this version could look.

    Music: The music of the Smash Bros. series has always been hit or miss. Some tunes just don't rub you the right way while some get you pumped to smash Mario across the screen. The series has always done remixes of their titles' music, which would produce hit or miss songs (although the shear multitude of music in these games is surprising, so kudos for having any good ones really) but since this is the fourth entry(ies) in the series, we're seeing remixes of previous remixes, which is putting a damper on many of the songs in here. Songs that were good the way they were now sound like they were just trying to make it sound different at the cost of quality. You can only remix your remixes so many times before everything just sounds overdone and horribly annoying.

    Overall: Although technically a "good" game, the title lacks inspiration, and is showing some great fatigue (Sakurai himself has noted how tired he is of making these games, but can't help but want to be the director of the games despite that, a rather perplexing situation indeed) leading to questionable and downright poor creative decisions (such as adding cloud only because he would increase sales) and despite what the high reviews tell you, it only is good in theory, rather than in practice, especially if you've played the whose series as extensively as I have. Still a recommended title, but don't be surprised if you find it lacking as compared to the previous ones. A series such as this has been about giving the fans what they've always wanted, but this entry does that least of all of them, and in multiple ways.    … Expand

    Many of the single player modes are great. Classic Mode got a fun makeover, and All-Star Mode is always a blast. But modes such as Target Blast and the Event Matches haven't recovered from the horrible unmemorable mangling Brawl gave them. In fact, Target Smash here is even worse. Now in Brawl, sure it was lacking the unique stage for each fighter, but in Smash for Wii U, it's lacking stages at all. The once fun time trial mini-game has now been reduced to nothing more than a cheap angry birds knockoff. With a Story Mode also being left out for completely stupid reasons along with all of these other flaws, the single player mode feels very lackluster and lazy.

    The customization modes are fine for what they are. The moveset and property editing options are fun and easy to use as you can change the abilities of a fighter or even their stats with special gear. The painting mode is also fun for Miiverse posts, but the Stage Builder is still severely lacking. While have the power to draw your map any way you like it instead of being restricted to a grid, there's so little in terms of variety. There's lava, rocket barrels, springs, and moving platforms. But that's about it. There's no Ferris Wheel, falling platforms, ice blocks, or any stage decorations like the one found in Brawl's editor. It also feels lazy.

    Now when it comes to the content, this game really shines. The largest roster in Smash Bros. history with tons of overpriced DLC, the massive amount of stages, and all the different items to collect and unlock. The starting roster is great enough as it is, and DLC is optional so there's no REAL reason I should complain about it. But if you want all of the characters and stages, you'll have to scrape over an extra $43 just for 7 characters and 5 stages. That's not even including other DLC items like the Mii costumes. You need to repay almost the entire price of a brand new copy just to add an extra bundle of content smaller than the Nintendo 64's entry in the series. While the DLC characters and stages are fun to use, this is still an example of how DLC can be done poorly.

    As for the gameplay, it's definitely fun. You won't get bored at all in multi-player mode. But there's no balance, the hit boxes are quite sloppy for a fighting game, and despite being a very well-produced product, it's not safe from plenty of bugs and glitches. It doesn't have that much value in terms of competitive fighting games, but as a party game in general, Super Smash Bros. is the best you can get. The items are all fun, the final smashes are creative. The assist trophies keep you on your toes, and there's never a dull moment.

    Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is a fantastic game by itself, but when stacked up against the rest of the entries in the series, it fails to stand out. It's just another title. It may have more content, but the lackluster single player, absence of story mode, average customization especially with the Stage Builder which is arguably worse than Brawl's, some parts of this game feel soulless and lazy. It's definitely a must buy if you own a Wii U, but it's no ground-breaking masterpiece either.    … Expand

    Graphics 9/10
    A stellar looking game with beautiful character design,stage design,and the overall charming appearance of the game because of Nintendo being able to continue the trend of the smash games having a charming art style.

    Game Play 9/10
    Easily the best smash game game play wise with it hitting a perfect middle ground with its speed as the speed is right in between brawls slower game play and melee very frantic fast paced game play.Other than speed its mostly the same fun fighting action but with more Items,characters,and stages than ever before.If i were to say one flaw it would be that i find it to easy to recover from being hit of the edge than previous installments meaning that the intense suspense of seeing if your opponent will make it back is mostly gone.

    Controls 9/10
    The controls are most of the time perfect smooth and satiating especially wen you deliver a smash attack to your foe. I am docking a point because of the abundance of online lag with the controls so its not necessarily the controls themselves.

    Music 8/10
    A solid soundtrack but it mostly is songs from other games.I understand its a crossover but i wish that they would still have more original pieces because the ones they do have is some of the best music in the game.I really hope there is more original tunes for smash 5

    Worth The Price Yes
    This game is defiantly worth the 60 dollar price tog with its tons of side not main battle content like events,classic mode,all star mode,smash tour,Master and crazy orders,and tons of other modes to keep you satisfied for a long time along with the always active online community.

    This is the best game in the series. Mostly everything is there, the roster is huge, and the only things I can think of that are bad are smash tour, and the customs feel too much like the originals in some cases. Other than that, there is a lot of content in this game and I hope this gets ported to switch, it would be awesome.

Even alone you can play online. This is also a game where the DLC is awesome but you don;t feel left out if you don't have it, which is something other games lack. All in all, Smash Brothers is a great game a 5 will be amazing.… Expand

    Very nice game there Nintendo! I really like all the content... except for the violence... but everything else is good! The game makes sense, it has 51 characters (58 with DLC) and all that...

    I think it's safe to say that Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is the definitive game in the series. It brings us the biggest character roster yet, (not including DLC) Some of the best stages, stable online play, and 8-player smash, all in glorious HD. It also brings accessibility to newcomers without having to dumb down the play style, which I think was handled very well.

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

The moment I purchased this game at my local store and took it back home for me to play, I nearly sobbed once I found that there was no subspace emissary 2. They also removed one of the fan favorites: Snake from metal gear solid, which was kind of a bummer. But I guess they're just doing what they think is right.

    Nintendo included tons more modes, including some of the originals from classic smash installments. SSB4 is also compatible with your amiibo so if you have a collection at home, go give it a try! They also introduced a whole new set of OC's to the roster so if you're looking for the perfect game, smash 4 is no exception.    … Expand

    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.

    Yet another wii u game that fails in a beloved franchise. The single player modes are utter crap, the gamepad is a terrible controller for smash bros, and they added so many awful characters (dark pit shouldn't take up a character slot, and villager wtf?) and stages (except the skyloft and windy hill zone). Even if you are a smash bros fan I don't recommend this game.

As you fight with Ryu, and Bayonetta (or 54 other fighters) So many 3rd party characters, plus you can make your own fighters, or modify old ones! If you do the math right, there are 4,138 PLAYABLE CHARACTERS!!! (With customs) Best game for the Wii U

    This is a prime example of a game franchise that only improves and gets better with every entry. From its beautifully designed characters and stages, fun and refreshing gameplay, humongous cast of playable characters, and vast array of game modes make up the best Smash game yet.

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
