Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Review - IGN

Jose Otero - I never thought Smash Bros.’ intense four-player multiplayer battles needed more fighters, but eight-player brawls have become one of my favorite modes in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Eight-player battles are local-only, which is an unfortunate limitation, but if you get a group of friends together you’ll fill these big, vibrantly colorful arenas with sheer madness happening in every corner. Each character displays fantastic personality in combat, drawing on a rich history from dozens of different beloved games. As I strike, dodge, block, and weave through seven other fighters, a match builds up to a climax that’s genuinely fun, each and every time. That represents Super Smash Bros. for Wii U as a whole: it’s bigger than ever, but remains laser-focused on the finely balanced action that makes this a legendary fighting game series.

this game is really good, so much stuff to do

Afterlife3858d ago

Agree. It's the best console exclusive this holiday season.

I'm loving this game so far.

* Only thing I that I don't Love about this game is that it doesn't have Yoshi's Island 64 & the stage creator only having 5 options for platforms & backgrounds.

* Literally all they need to do is import ANY PICTURE, and it increases the replay value.

Aside from that, this game is darn near perfect in so many ways. A True masterpiece.

maybe in a future we will get some cool DLC, not only for characters but maybe stages and tools\stuff for creation stages

SSB Wii U: scratching 10/10 at its finest

LOL_WUT3858d ago

R1CAN6173858d ago

They know damn well this game deserves a 10 I just picked it up today and it was worth every penny

Mykky3858d ago

Don't tell me you are complaining about a 9,8?!
But yes this game is crazy good!

DonFreezer3858d ago

Why shouldn't he? Why does only games like The Last Of Us and GTA V deserve a ten? Those sites are showing a clear bias against anything non Sony.

Mykky3857d ago

Are you kidding me? So the reviewer gave SSB a 0,2 score lower because he is Sony biased? Don't forget that GTA V is a multiplatform game.
Also if you look at the score of Nintendo exclusives they are almost always really high. So how they are sony biased I don't understand.
Not to mention that the ones reviewing TLOU, GTA V and SSB probably are different persons.

Personaly I think most reviewers are grown up enough to not be biased against either consoles.

To me smash brows Melee is my all time favorite. I can't tell you how many hours I played that game between friends and family. When I was a kid, my parents couldn't afford a gaming console so I had to go somewhere that had an arcade like setup with the only difference being instead of arcade cabinets, they had big screen crt TV's and gaming consoles setup. I would go with my friends on special occasions after school or with my family on the weekends.

I would meet and make new friends at that place as we were all gamers and we also brought our game boys and would trade pokemon. I don't think those places exist these days but back then, it was easy to meet like-minded people and have fun for hours.

Well, I’ll add my extremely subjective ranking too. I won’t include the 3DS version as I don’t owned it. I did play it for a few minutes though.

5. Brawl.
4. N64 Smash
3. Ultimate
2. Wiiu Smash
1. Melee

Yup Ultimate for me BY FAR is my favorite.

Ten Overdue Fighters for Smash Bros.

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "While the future of Smash Bros. has been uncertain for a while - whether Nintendo will build on Ultimate or bring us a new entry entirely - within all likelihood a new Nintendo system still means something new for Smash Bros. is on the horizon, and that something will almost certainly include new fighters, however many or few. While this might be the gaming article equivalent of putting up Christmas decorations in October, it’s never too early to start speculations when it comes to Smash Bros. before two thirds of everything inevitably gets leaked ahead of time. Keep in mind that this is not a list of predictions for future newcomers, though a few could perhaps fit in that same category, but rather a small list of the characters that in this writer’s humble opinion are overdue an appearance in the gaming crossover to end all crossovers."
