Online shutdown + no DLC = The weakest game of all time. And the voice acting is annoyingly awful.

Not bad but not for me I guess, I still loved it since it was my first smash bros game but as I got older I appreciated it less

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U fue uno de los juegos más divertidos y completos de su generación. Aunque Ultimate lo superó después, este juego fue el que llevó la saga a otro nivel con gráficos increíbles, una jugabilidad súper fluida y un roster excelente para su **** combate se siente rápido, preciso y muy satisfactorio, especialmente en partidas locales con amigos. Además, el modo de hasta 8 jugadores era puro caos glorioso: explosiones, Final Smashes y gente perdiendo una vida por mirar el minimapa medio segundo Visualmente sigue viéndose muy bien incluso hoy. Los escenarios tienen muchísimo detalle y la música es espectacular, con una cantidad enorme de canciones icónicas de Nintendo y otras franquicias. También introdujo personajes muy memorables como Cloud, Bayonetta y Mega Man, algo que en ese momento parecía completamente imposible.Puede que no tenga el tamaño gigantesco de Ultimate, pero Smash Wii U tiene su propia identidad y todavía se siente increíblemente divertido. Fue una parte importantísima de la historia de Smash y uno de los mejores juegos multijugador de Nintendo. 10/10.

Amazing game, solid roster, solid extras and it's a pretty fun game to play, I have a lot of hours in it I fear.. with that being said I don't like how some very fun aspects of brawl were removed.. or how some charachters didn't make the cut over others.. I still love the game however!!

I like it but some of the game modes are unnecessary, and master and crazy hand orders or whatever they are called not good

Para mí no hay nada que arruine la diversión en este juego (tal vez Bayonetta), tiene muchos personajes, el jefe final (Master Core) es buenísimo, excelente soundtrack, es muy divertido jugar con amigos.

THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE WII U VERSION Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U is when the Smash series finally found its footing, and learned how to maximize all its greatest features to become the quintessential Smash Bros... at least that's what should've happened. What actually happened was a release on a system nobody really owned, a confusing split naming convention, axed characters due to the reason for said split naming convention, and gameplay that just does not hold up to this day. While its release on Wii U was a major weakness, the game honestly probably got people to buy a Wii U, and having this be the first HD Smash Bros. honestly makes the game look REALLY good. This was the first time reveal trailers were used for the game as we know it, which was significant because the Sakurai really understood how big of a deal this kind of stuff was, not just for Smash Bros. fans, but for gaming culture as a whole. Where I believe the game irrecoverably suffers is when you finally dive into the gameplay. It has some of the weakest and slowest base gameplay, with the only exception really being Brawl, which has its own strengths to make up for it. A lot of the timing of knockbacks and the animations honestly don't feel as good, and the entire game lacks flow and tact, making it a chore to play competitively (not that I play competitively, but it's important). The extra modes, which was what made Brawl's weak gameplay forgivable, are some of the worst in the game, with Smash Tour genuinely being some of the most boring content the game has to date. Not to mention, the character roster being held back by the limitations of the 3DS version, which meant that the game wouldn't be able to reach its full potential not even because of the limitations of the Wii U itself. While it still has some cool content in it, like the last time we'll ever see trophies or customizable movesets, which were really cool ideas, the game just ends up being the most confusing one of the series.

I know a lot of people like Ultimate but imo this is loads better. It holds lots of nostalgia for me, so that’s probably why this is my favourite Smash game

What an odd release. It looks stunning as the first smash game in HD, the roster is phenomenal, and the smash formula elevates any game to a high score. So why only a 7? For starters, the single player is asinine. You're better off playing against a level 1 CPU than playing Smash Tour. The online matchmaking is also terrible. Elite Smash is not a perfect system, but it is infinitely better than For Glory. But all of that pales compared to the sheer brokenness of some of the characters in this one. Up-airs can kill you at 30 with rage. Bayonetta can 0 to death you with no real effort. Mario deals 60 percent to you off one grab. Cloud Strife is in this game. With a more balanced approach, this could have matched up to Melee and Ultimate, but as is, this is Brawl 2 in HD with no Subspace.

Best smash game ever, it really makes a lot of game modes you can play from, the gameplay is perfect and simply is a bit hard to get bored of it, it has some problems like bayonetta being too OP, but everything else is amazing

It was the first Smash I ever played and I loved it. The only negative point is the number of terrains on 3DS. Otherwise the game is perfect even if not as fast as Melee or the next game, Ultimate. None of the characters were really broken ( except Bayonetta ) and none of them really **** ( except in esport of course but for non-competitive players that's not the most important thing ).

It's fine, but compared to the other Smash games, this just doesn't have much substance. Brawl has subspace, Ultimate has spirits and all the characters, Melee has the competitive edge, and 64 is the first game so it gets free points blah blah blah. Smash 4 just... doesn't stand out. The moment that Smash Ultimate came out, everyone immediately dropped this game, and for good reason. After all, it is still a Smash game, so it's obviously fun, but it's not as good as the others in the series.

Personally this is probably the worst in the smash bros series, but that doesn’t mean it that's bad. The roster isgood but the meta was just horrible which ruined many peoples experiences

If players enjoyed the previous incarnations of Super Smash Brothers, they should love these. With all of the updates and new features, it is hard to find a reason not to smash!

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. I do like the addition of fighters of Roy, Bayonetta, Corrin, Megaman, and some Fire Emblem characters. The HD graphics make the game very smooth and better than the 3DS.

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. It is great and has many different controller options, but its soundtrack while great, isn’t up to Melee and Brawl standards, lacks an adventure mode, and the addition of DLC means that once the severs go down, you cannot access all of the game anymore if you are starting from a brand new physical copy. 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.)

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.

[RU] Ну что, хейтеры (точнее люди, которые не играли в эту игру), чем она плоха? Мало контента? ахахахахахаахахахаххахахахахаха. Нечем заняться? АХАХАХАХАХАХАХАХАХАХАХХАХАХ. Если бы у меня не стёрлись данные, я бы наиграл в ней 100+ часов (и при этом, я не играю в онлайне и у меня не выполнены все задания, так-то)

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.

As I didn't played any other Smash Bros beyond this one, there's no way I can make deep short comments. It's simply a game that works perfectly, one of the best fighting games I played. There are several characters with their own moves, skills, a lot of game modes and a great online multiplayer. It's surely a "must-have" for the Wii U. The only complaint is that I've missed some kind of campaign. And some battle arenas are annoying as hell.

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

A great game just like it’s always been but with much less single player content than brawl but still not as good as Alvin and the chipmunks for wii
