Hardcore Gamer: While other 2014 games suffered severely from hype, Nintendo is making this year's Smash Bros. installments into games that can actually live up to it.

The best Nintendo Game ever! Playing now!

This game is awesome and really makes me want the Wii U version even more now.

Great idea releasing the 3DS first...it's like an appetizer for the Main course....which will include much more content + HD graphics.

The beauty of Smash Bros is it never tries to claim to be "that" game, the content speaks for itself. The first game set out to be different from the conventional fighter and the series sticks by that philosophy without hyping that aspect of it. It's about getting with friends and playing with beloved characters from the video game universe.

The people who overhype Smash and get letdown are those expecting a specific character (which 15% of them are random) or a set of mechanics (just ask diehard melee fans). For the gaming/casual audience at large they take what's at face value and have fun with it.

By not trying set the competitive fighter genre on fire it can afford to have a misstep here or there, people can gain as much from the series as they put into it. Not once do Smash ads throw review scores or quotes from publications. They go "Here's Smash, here are the characters, have a ton of fun".

i like it except i cant play online, and yes i have the patch, i called nintendo and they couldnt help, ans i guess thousands of people are experiencing this. i might return it if they dont fix it.

Right, I can't. When I go to online, it stays "loading" and then the game crashes to the 3DS main Menu.

I portforwarded all required ports and now it is not connecting to the servers.

Really disappointing.

i got online this morning for the first time since moidnight launch day, i got 4 rounds in, won them all :), and then i got kicked, and i havent been able to get online again.

Lighter94248d ago

I played online. It was very laggy, but I still won the match.

CaptainN4248d ago

Online probably had too many players loging in at once....give it a few days people, stop going bananas on the first day!!

Other then that is a pretty good portable game....just dont expect it to be on par with home console versions. Like it for what it is, not what it isnt. Its an entree, not the main course!!

To me smash brows Melee is my all time favorite. I can't tell you how many hours I played that game between friends and family. When I was a kid, my parents couldn't afford a gaming console so I had to go somewhere that had an arcade like setup with the only difference being instead of arcade cabinets, they had big screen crt TV's and gaming consoles setup. I would go with my friends on special occasions after school or with my family on the weekends.

I would meet and make new friends at that place as we were all gamers and we also brought our game boys and would trade pokemon. I don't think those places exist these days but back then, it was easy to meet like-minded people and have fun for hours.

Well, I’ll add my extremely subjective ranking too. I won’t include the 3DS version as I don’t owned it. I did play it for a few minutes though.

5. Brawl.
4. N64 Smash
3. Ultimate
2. Wiiu Smash
1. Melee

BlaqMagiq1466d ago

Yup Ultimate for me BY FAR is my favorite.
