    With Smash Bros. for Wii U, Nintendo offers a meticulous and generous game, technically stunning and with an indestructible replay value, whether playing alone or with friends, in local or online multiplayer. If entertainment is a science, Smash Bros. for Wii U deserves the Nobel.

    Some thirteen years after Melee’s release, Nintendo has finally formulated an experience which compares appreciably to the masterpiece that we all love (and many of us still play). Whether for fun or for glory, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is the follow-up Smash fans have been anticipating since.

    Super Smash Bros. is dressed with Nintendo’s best tradition and makes each combat frenetic and a page of the company's history.

    Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is an expertly crafted, deep fighter that is a pure joy to play no matter your skill level.

    The core mechanic from the original game is still there, but it feels more refined and polished than before. Though the amiibo integration feels like an after-thought it's still a fun party game to play with your friends.

Takes everything from Brawl and makes it better! (Except for the story mode, obviously) The game is faster like Melee and looks beautiful. The animations are lovely and reaction/lag time is pretty good. Definitely a system seller! 9/10 only because of a lack of a story mode and reused voice clips from Brawl.… Expand

    A noticeable upgrade from Brawl with gorgeous visuals, a ton of new characters and plenty of new stages and modes to keep the game fresh.
