This review is from: Super Smash Bros. – Nintendo 3DS (Video Game)
This is truly groundbreaking. The controls? Spot on. The Gameplay? Perfect. If you played the other smash bros. and enjoyed them. You will love this. I’ve been playing this for two straight hours and man is it perfect. Smash Bros wherever you want to go! Ever since they took down the Wii internet play on brawl I haven’t played this game with friends. Until now!

Also I have been a Megaman fan my entire life and to put him in a Smash Bros. game. Beautiful!

They brought back Stadium. So have fun smashing targets! Slamming home runs! Classic, All star, Training, and a new thing called smash run were you have 5 minutes to beat a set of enemies.

You can create a custom Mii to fight as well. So Montmorillonite’s Mii has finally been put to work since Wii sports!

I highly recommend this game. It’s hard to take time to write the review! I just want to keep playing! Oh and Pacman is freaking unbeatable.

6 stars. If you have a 3ds. BUY IT. If you don’t. BUY A 3DS AND THIS!!!!! Sorry for exclamation and caps.

UPDATE: 10/17/14

After a couple of weeks to break it in the game keeps showing me new things. Like unlockable moves for characters. I was slightly off about the Smash run thing it is like a world that you can explore to find stuff and coins. Oh and I am leaving some stuff out… so you’ll be surprised when you play through it.

This review is from: Super Smash Bros. – Nintendo 3DS (Video Game)
I’ve spent a few hours with this game as of me writing this, and what can I say but man, this is a fun fun game. I wasn’t previously a big fan of the Smash Bros series, mainly because I wasn’t good at it and because I never had an N64 or Gamecube. Being a big fan of the 3DS though, this is the perfect chance for me to try it out in full finally. The game looks fantastic, and has tons of ways to play. The classic mode is a fun way to kill time while being introduced to the many characters that started it all. The local multiplayer so far with a few friends is flawless, and I’ve had a couple of online bouts that may or may not have gone well.

Graphics
The game runs at a very smooth 60 frames per second, even in it’s 3D mode. And I normally don’t play my games in 3D mode, but with this game the effect is very subtle and comes out looking very crisp. It’s very quick action and it doesn’t lag once. The cinematic final move scenes are awesome to watch even though they sometimes take a bit of time. I’m using the standard sized 3DS, which at times can be difficult to make out. However, I’ve tried the demo on the XL version, and it is levels above the tiny screen.

Gameplay
Being new to Smash Bros, this is a total first time impression on my part. The gameplay grows on you, and fast. When I first started playing the CPU was too much for me to handle. A few battles in, and I started to win more consistently. However, in classic mode you can choose how difficult you want the gameplay with higher difficulty giving better rewards, for all those experienced players out there. That is currently a challenge for me. Some reports stated that analog sticks were being broken due to the nature of the gameplay, but so far I haven’t found myself overly abusing it. No more than any other game anyhow. The only hiccup I’ve had so far was the fact that I’m still finding it difficult to pick up items. I might be too close to them or too far, but many a time I’ve missed it by just a millisecond after trying super hard to grab it. Also, this might just be me, but using x and y to jump felt a bit odd and took some getting used to.

Pros
– Smooth graphics running at 60fps
– Huge character list, plus the hidden set of characters
– Tons upon tons of unlockables, such as trophies and new abilities
– Variety in gameplay modes will keep you entertained for a while
– Massive amount of items to use and unlock during battle
– Some items can be super fun to use (Nintendog)
– The ability to customize your characters move set, which is new to the series.

Cons
– That annoying "GO" image that takes up the entire screen when the match starts. Precious seconds count.
– With a smaller screen, you sometimes lose your character in all the action. This happens even more so with 4 characters at once. This might be more of a problem on the smaller 3DS.
– A little hard to grab items at times.

Overall
This is a solid game. And that’s coming from someone that came into the whole Smash Bros thing thinking that he was going to hate it. It’s easy to overlook the flaws in this because it’s really just a fun game no matter what level of game mode you’re looking for. From single player, to local multiplayer, to online multiplayer and street pass it’s got you covered.

Smashing Fun!, October 5, 2014
This review is from: Super Smash Bros. – Nintendo 3DS (Video Game)

When Nintendo announced that the fourth entry in the Super Smash Bros. series would not only be on Wii U, but also on the Nintendo 3DS, people were hyped. Playing Smash Bros. on the go was like a dream come true! Gamers everywhere counted down the days to Super Smash Bros. For Nintendo 3DS. And now, the day has come where we can play Super Smash Bros. anytime, anywhere. But, is Super Smash Bros. For Nintendo 3DS just a placeholder until the Wii U version comes out, or will people still be smashing on their 3DS’s for years to come?

GAMEPLAY: The Smash Bros. series has a trademark fighting system unique from other fighting games. Rather than deplete health bars, players attack each other trying to raise their percentages and knock their opponents off the arena. This makes it so that combat relies less on combos and more on how well the player is able to maneuver themselves around the many colorful locales Super Smash Bros. For Nintendo 3DS has to offer. There are also many items that can be picked up and used on others, such as the Smash Ball, which returns from Super Smash Bros. Brawl. This frantic gameplay transitions well to the 3DS, and although it can sometimes be hard to find yourself in the game’s vast locales, you can easily put a reticle around your character to quickly find out where you are. Not only that, but the game runs at a solid 60 frames per second, just like the previous games, so players that prefer to play in 3D will have nothing to worry about.

CHARACTERS: One of the main selling points of Smash Bros. is that it crosses over many of Nintendo’s franchises. Naturally, with each new game, people anticipate their favorite Nintendo characters joining the fray. Those people will be satisfied since characters such as Punch-Out’s Little Mac, Animal Crossing’s Villager, Super Mario Galaxy’s Rosalina, and more appear in this game. There are even unexpected characters, such as Xenoblade Chronicles’s Shulk, and Pac-Man himself! Add in some equally unexpected unlockable characters, and you have yourself an all-star cast that’s bound to satisfy any Nintendo fan’s tastes! But, there are some people that would like to see some unexpected people such as real life celebrities and anime characters in the game. This is addressed with the Mii Fighter feature. In this mode, you can take a Mii from your 3DS’s Mii Maker and add them into the game with one of three fighting styles: Brawler, Swordfighter, and Gunner. You can also give them four different special moves, attach equipment to change up their stats, and even dress them up in outfits! So, if you ever wanted to see yourself or your friend in Smash Bros., now you have the chance!

MODES: Super Smash Bros. For Nintendo 3DS also boasts a variety of modes. There are the series staples, such as Multi-Man Smash, Home Run Contest, and Classic Mode, along with all new modes such as Target Blast and Smash Run. Target Blast has you pummeling a bomb followed by launching it in order to destroy as many targets as possible (Think Angry Birds), while Smash Run has you journeying through a sizable maze collecting power-ups and fighting enemies from various Nintendo games in order to prepare for a challenge with your opponents, which can range from your run-of-the-mill fight, to a race to the finish, or a Multi-Man Smash. Despite Smash Run not being online compatible, it still proves to be a fun, albeit a bit challenging, addition to Smash Bros.. Speaking of online, you can also play online via Nintendo Network with players from around the world. With Brawl, the first game in the series to feature online play, the matches online were often uncomfortable and filled with lag. Fortunately, this has been mostly fixed in Super Smash Bros. For Nintendo 3DS. Matches are now smooth, and there’s now a variety of modes you can play online. For Fun has players fighting normal matches on nearly every stage, while For Glory has players fighting competitive matches on flat Omega Form variants of the stages. These modes can provide a casual, fun match, or a heated one-on-one for the pleasure of…
