    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.

    La WII U peut avoir de bons jeux. Il manque un mode histoire malheureusement mais bon est ce qu'on joue vraiment à smash pour le mode histoire?

    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!

    I hate how the game has such a long name of Super Smash Bros for the Wii U as it ain’t catchy we know Brawl, and Melee, but that is too much. There is no story except off Classic and Smash Tour, which isn’t Like Brawl’s or Ultimate’s World of Light.

    Super Smash Bros Wii-U is truly the only reason to own a Wii-U now that Mario Kart 8 has been ported to the Switch.

    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

    Super Smash Bros. For Wii U is definitely a hype game. Adding amazing new characters and dazzling visuals, this game will get you amped up every time you play it, from start to finish.

    Sorry, but this one just doesn't feel right. It feels outdated, yet the balance between hardcore and casual is spot on.

    The greatest Super Smash Bros. game at the time of release. The roster is impressive to this day, even with Ultimate out.

    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.

    Some of the extra content may be a turn off for some fans, but great visuals, an expanded soundtrack, and overall fun make Super Smash Bros. for Wii U a winner in its own right.

    Gaming is about having fun. That is what Super Smash Bros. for Wii U delivers, unlike a lot of other major game releases this year, which have been major disappointments this year. Smash Wii U is a breath of fresh air, and there is so much to do

    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.

    In my opinion, the worst in the series with a slower combat style than the rest. The last paid characters they added completely derailed the game (bayonetta and company). Still a good smash bros.

    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
