Amiibos in this game are better than I thought. My LVL 50 Link can beat me most of the time and I am pretty good. This is a must have for any Wii U owner and looks beautiful with 1080p 60fps with never any slow down. Online is 10 times better that the 3DS edition. Not much lag and I have average internet. This game is great and should be played by anyone 10/10… Expand

    That is one of the best games i have ever played, but after experiencing an adventure mode in brawl and loved it the lack of something similar hurts. In the end the game is almost perfect and i would give a 9.5 but I can only put 9 or 10

To me it's a party game with a learning curve that can keep you amused and bettering yourself for hours upon hours. I imagine I'll attend some competitive events as a spectator if the Smash eSports scene takes off again with this iteration, but overall my interest is essentially casual while writing this review.

    That said, this is a fantastic new addition to the series. We had a "Smash Bash" party the day after release and had an absolute blast. Smash 4 is still a phenomenal party game and with the 8 player Smash you can involve just about everyone who's interested in playing simultaneously at modest gatherings.

    Almost everything about this game is stellar, so let me just list my minor gripes:
    - Smash Tour is somewhat dull
    - There is no Smash Run like 3DS Smash on the Wii-U, only the aforementioned Tour
    - Acquiring duplicate moves, trophies and customization items can be frustrating
    - Sometimes the controllers get glitchy when you're using GameCube and/or Pro Controllers
    - My friends are better than me

    So Smash Tour is a board game adaptation of Smash Run. It's much less engaging in my opinion. In fact, it honestly just about puts me to sleep. Going between monotonous board movement and playing matches with characters you don't choose just isn't all that enjoyable to me. I really wish they would have just kept Smash Run on the Wii-U just like 3DS instead of this mode.

    As for the controller issue I mentioned, we had particular trouble with the GameCube controller adapter, but it was easily rectified by unplugging the GameCube controller and plugging it back in. Sometimes our Pro controllers would send inputs without us touching them as well, forcing us to reboot the entire system to resolve. Overall though, we may have spent a total of 15-20 minutes fighting buggy controllers during a 10 hour Smash session, much of which had 7-8 players going... so it's really not that bad.

    Those negative points aside, this game is nearly perfect.

    The interface is fluid and beautiful. The game's graphics are simply astounding. I think I've only noticed one shadow in the Orbital Assault stage that I didn't like. There was a bit of feathered dithering going on that catches my eye. Otherwise the texturing, shading and lighting of the game looks so great it's unbelievable. It's about the most "realistic" cartoony graphics experience I've ever seen.

    Gameplay is very smooth. In the 30+ hours I've put in so far I think I've noticed two instances of framerate drops... and it could have even been my imagination. I can't believe how smoothly things run in 8-man Smash. I was entirely anticipating a bit of a stuttery situation when things got heavy, but saw nothing of the sort.

    I love what they've done with the game's mechanics too. Movesets feel mostly balanced and there have been improvements that I feel add to the competitive potential of the game. The Equipment customization is a neat system that adds to my enjoyment. When I don't feel like improving my game, I can still lazily farm better equipment, which has its own form of amusement and a feeling of progression.

    There's so much content in this release and [almost] all of it has immense value to provide. Even the Angry Birds ripoff iteration of Target Smash can be fun and challenging. Events are great, the Co-Op/Competitive opportunities are prolific, and every mode aside from Smash Tour is super fun and well polished.

    I have to give this title a 10. Even though I had negative points to express, there's just no way it's deserving of a score so low as 9. If I didn't already have a Wii-U for Bayonetta 2 and Hyrule Warriors, this game would have easily pushed me to pick one up. Super Smash Bros 4 is a fantastic title supplementing a legendary series.    … Expand

I often forget what is behind which menus and just want to play classic mode for the most part, which feels very odd and is less fun than previous smashes. Don't get me wrong its a fun game but I been playing since the first smash bros and singleplayer modes were always very important to me, now they feel shoved in a corner deep under menus.

    The more I play it the less I like it. They didn't put anywhere near enough content that matters.
    Lets face it there is a lot of problems with this game and the fact people are in denial of these problems worries me a lot. Heck the most of the game is menus, and without any reason, it is litterally filler content the game with no core game there. It isn't bad but it is no way good.

That being said, it has been made clear that the game does not have an adventure or "story" mode, but don't let this dissuade you, the game is just fine without an adventure mode. Besides, there was no story mode in the first game, and the stories in melee and brawl we'rent exactly stellar or well written, and weren't the focus of the game. Don't let the lack of a story mode be a turn off, you'll hardly notice it among everything else they added.

    Although the 8-Player game mode might seem to be chaotic at first, no one said you had to use all 8 player slots. With the 8-player mode, you can also have 5, 6, or 7 players if you want. The Sage builder has also been improved and is much more flexible than brawls. We also have an improved challenge mode, and a new co-op classic mode as well.

    We have all the the standard modes brawl had (minus sse), all of which have been polished to a shine and tweaked to near perfection. Last but not least, Nintendo cleaned up and fixed smash bros online, no lag whatsoever (unless your internet sucks), smooth as silk. All in all, Smash bros Wii U is an almost perfect game.

    I would highly recommend this game to any Nintendo gamer and smash bros fan.    … Expand

Stage builder is more customizable than ever and is easy to use, but it would be nice if you could do 8-player battles on them. Some of the new characters are awesome like Rosalina and Luma, Mega man, Pacman, etc. They balanced OP characters from brawl *cough* Meta Knight. And the new items are fun.
    If you were used to the controls from its 3ds counterpart, the grab has changed and is now the ZR and ZL and shielding is R and L. This threw me off as the 3ds 's default grabbing was L and default shielding was R. I am aware you can change the controls under a name and select the name before playing, but with gamemodes like smash tour and events, I am forced to use the default controls, which I will always screw up using. That was one of many flaws this game hosts. The content feels sort of lacking, with no story or adventure mode to play through, instead you have many gamemodes that either are stupid and not needed or just boring. All-star mode remains unchanged from the 3ds version, aside from facing fighters in reverse-chronological order. 8-player mode was a welcome concept that allows more than 4 players to join in, but if you are playing with all 8 players it is too chaotic and the maps you are restricted to play on seem a little odd. Crazy orders are pretty fun, but master orders seem rather unnecessary and I feel like they were just put there as a content filler. Smash tour is pretty boring and very disorienting as so much is going on at once, and the stats and fighters on your team are extremely small and hard to read.
    You are given way too many characters and stages already unlocked off the bat which are way easier to unlock compared to previous games, which takes a lot of the fun, challenge and replay value out of the game. There are too many retro stages (which aren't even organized/separated from new ones) and not enough new, creative stages. Cool characters like Ice Climbers, Snake, Lucas and Wolf were ripped from the roster in replacement for stupid clones like Dark Pit and Dr. Mario.
    Easily the worst part of the game is the online. I don't even bother playing free-for-all matches as all it takes is one person with a bad connection to turn 2 minutes into 6 minutes of laggy hell and if you try to leave you are temporarily banned. It is beyond me why 'For Glory' free-for-all matches and team matches are timed. However 1-on-1 for glory matches are quite smooth and thankfully are stocked.

    Let me reiterate by saying, this game is great, but far from perfect. I would rate it 7.5 out of ten but since that's not possible, for now, it is a 7/10.    … Expand

    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!!!

    Just when you think a game can't get better, here comes Nintendo & shows us that they can take a great game & make it greater. Super Smash Bros. for the wii u is such a fun game, well polished bug free just a great experience overall

    This is it... The most beautiful thing to come out from Nintendo for a very long time. The definitive version of Smash! Absolutely do not listen to the few negative user reviews on here. Look at the majority and you be the judge. :D

    I admire Nintendo for how the release complete titles with ZERO bugs. A polished product out the gates. That's how it is suppose to be. Functioning online    This is it...

    I admire Nintendo for how the release complete titles with ZERO bugs. A polished product out the gates. That's how it is suppose to be. Functioning online keeps me at it for hours. amiibos are awesome, and fun addition. It really feels like you have a personalized training buddy/self-aware terminator version rival. I got attached to mine after it started kicking my butt and "adapting". This is easily the best game of 2014. Nintendo is going to have a good holiday season!

    I digitally downloaded my copy off the store because I want Smash Bros to be a permanent part of my console along with Mario Kart 8. Wii U is easily becoming my favorite console. And thank you Nintendo for bringing Mewtwo back this coming Spring!    … Expand

    Well here comes the latest installment on the Smash games. I can't believe it has been a long time since it was announced back on E3 2011. Sadly it is a lackluster compared to Brawl. Brawl would had been the perfect game if Mega Man had been in it. When Mega Man was announced in the game, sadly it was such a lackluster as Snake took away his momentum. Why does Mega Man look like a midgetWell here comes the latest installment on the Smash games. I can't believe it has been a long time since it was announced back on E3 2011. Sadly it is a lackluster compared to Brawl. Brawl would had been the perfect game if Mega Man had been in it. When Mega Man was announced in the game, sadly it was such a lackluster as Snake took away his momentum. Why does Mega Man look like a midget when in other games he has the right proportions on how he would look on a non-8bit representation? Snake may be gone but I miss Audi Famam Illius, Smash needed melodies like those, instead of the ones we have now, oh but we are going back to the roots thanks to obsessive Melee fans...

    Still the game looks great in HD. But it needed both better music and a proper look on Mega Man. And I am giving it a perfect score in order to be able to battle the GTA V remake in even more HD, and Dragon Age which are lower games to Smash. Oh but nowadays, people want hardcore games when these people only want casual stuff to show up they are so tech savvy. I miss the days when videogames were for videogamers and not posers who just get in for fashion. Still, game of the year. But sadly Nintendo will fall.    … Expand

    An absolute work of art. Anyone who doesn't rate this higher than 8/10 is either not being honest with the rating or don't actually own the game. Every aspect of SMASH Wii U is perfectly polished, and there's simply no denying that.
    This is an absolute gem of a game, but it won't win game of the year. Some 3rd party is going to pay to earn game of the year.

    This game made me squirm my worm, its completely over 9000, and I felt young again, I no longer need my life alert, no wait, HELP I'VE FALLEN AND I CAN'T GET UP. I will just read 50 shades of grey until I die, and I will be happy.

    It would not be easy to find another game that offers so much content. [02/2015, p.61]

    It's everything I wanted it to be, and Melee's true successor. [Issue#257, p.60]

    A sprawling ode to Nintendo and punching, this'll keep fans scrapping for years to come. [Feb 2015, p.66]
