    At the same time, it's surprisingly easy to have someone join you for co-op midsession or transfer over to multiplayer matches when a third person shows up, and since basically any match counts for unlocking you don't feel like you're not getting anything. Smash is as good as a video game gets - it's fun, accessible, easy to play, and absolutely packed with features at its price point.

    Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is yet another stellar entry for the Wii U lineup. Nintendo is firing on all cylinders right now, and with one more release to go before 2014 ends, they look to have the must-own exclusive lineup out of all three current consoles. Smash is yet another reason to own Nintendo’s machine, and anyone looking for a fun romp would be wise to pick it up, along with some Gamecube controllers for maximum enjoyment.

    When it all comes down to it, Sm4sh is a well put together game. It knows what it wants to be – and what it sets out to accomplish, it does so in spades! The gameplay is solid, smooth, and enjoyable – and the entire product has been polished to an absolute shine! Don’t let the name fool you; as this game has a personality all of its own!

    Polished to perfection, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U delivers unrivalled mayhem – easily becoming the definitive Smash experience that we’ve been waiting since the mascot brawler’s conception on Nintendo 64. Sony tried, but the Super Smash Bros. series remains uncontested – presenting the best multiplayer experience that you’ll find on any new-gen system so far.

    After the 3DS version – which was still great, but simply didn’t present enough content – I had my reservations about Super Smash Bros. ...those who wish more than three friends could join them, or the player who likes battling it out globally, there’s a wealth of content wrapped up in some fantastic visuals, with spot-on gameplay representing the series at the best it’s ever been.

    Poor internet functionality is, thankfully, a blight on an otherwise incredible game. ...With the Wii U release, Smash Bros. has fully realized its goals. There’s something here for nearly everyone--from young to old, from novice to expert--presented almost without compromise. Super Smash Bros. Wii U invites everyone to join in its undiluted, joyous celebration of the broad community that Nintendo has built over the past forty years.

    Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

    I've enjoyed playing a lot of arcade fighting games like Street Fighter, X-Men, Tekken, and Soul Calibur in the past when I was in highschool. But over time my love on fighting games faded when I discovered FPS games like Call of Duty and adventure games like Assassins' Creed. But when I recently got a Nintendo Switch, the first game I've bought was Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. You've probably asked why? Well, the first thing that comes to my mind before purchasing this is, Unsa kaha nga duwa ang makalingaw dili lang para sa akoa kundili para pud sa akong mga anak? (I've got two kids). Turns out I've made the right choice hehehe. Pwerting lingawa nako ug sa akong mga kids. This game brings back my love on fighting games ages ago and I'm glad I've got to experience it now with my kids. Also, all the favorite characters my kids want are in this game so a win-win for all of us. VISUALS: 10/10 GAMEPLAY: 9/10 CHARACTERS: 9/10 (huge pool of characters, a very big plus points) SOUNDS: 9/10

    Biggest Fighting Game Roster I've ever played

    Anyone who likes fighting games with unique mechanics should try this. The adventure mode is plenty and kept me entertained and engaged for several hours. You can unlock character by defeating those spirits which will eventually be used as a boost. The random encounters with those characters added depth each time you navigate to the menu. I like the way how they made this roster. It was mindblowing since it is huge. Needed to buy extra controllers for Switch just to play this game with my friends. It is a good way to introduce Nintendo Switch to those people wanting to buy a console but never had a Nintendo before. **VISUALS** _Artistry:10 /12_ _Technical Merit: 7/8_ **SOUND DESIGN** _Music: 10/12_ _Sound Effects & Vocals: 6/8_ **INTERACTION** _Control & Interface: 8/8_ _Player Agency: 8/8_ _Accessibility: 4/4_ **MECHANICS** _Feedback & Fun: 10/10_ _Depth: 5/5_ _Variety:5 /5_ **CHARACTER** _Narrative: 6/8_ _Heart: 4/6_ _Originality: 5/6_
