Nearly every aspect of Smash Wii U seems fine-tuned not only to appeal to the nostalgia of long-time Nintendo fans, but also to be accessible to new players. Once they’re hooked, it draws them in deeper with a set of great modes and tempting rewards. There’s just so much here, and I’ve rarely seen a game with so many enjoyable and replayable ideas in a single package.
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is a beautifully polished, impeccably tight game. While I’d have liked more 3DS integration, and the much-touted Amiibo inclusion isn’t anything to go crazy over, Nintendo presents an absolutely stellar fighting game that I’m finding very difficult to tear myself away from. It’s packed with diverse content, can be tailored to suit anybody’s needs, and most important of all – it’s a ridiculous amount of bloody fun!
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is the sequel you've been waiting for; a fighter that's as finely tuned and well-balanced as it is beautiful. The core experience of intense back-and-forth brawling is so spectacular that it makes the few lackluster modes feel more like unneeded extras than disappointments. Whether alone, with friends, or against equally skilled strangers, this Smash Bros. offers excellent fighting that's enduringly exciting.
