Smash 3DS Smash Bros 3ds Review Compilation Thread

[wizardto1]

The reviews for Smash 3ds are coming out and while we all know that Smash will be a great game, this thread is for looking at reviews of video game sites
So here we go:

Ign 8.8/10

Smash Bros 3DS makes a successful leap to a portable form with few losses in transition.

Nintendo Life 9/10
http://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/3ds/super_smash_bros_for_nintendo_3ds

It delivers more than a 3DS game should feasibly be able to do, so much so that it’ll be enjoyed alongside its HD counterpart and in its own right for years to come.

Gamesradar 3/5
http://www.gamesradar.com/super-smash-bros-3ds-review/

A highly polished iteration of Smash Bros. that plays great on its own. But when you're afflicted by latency problems in local multiplayer, you'll suddenly become painfully aware of the 3DS version's critical shortcomings.

Gamespot 8/10
http://www.gamespot.com/reviews/super-smash-bros-3ds-review/1900-6415883/

I found so much raw joy in my time with Super Smash Bros. 3DS. And even though I played to the point where I was literally in pain, I didn't have to keep playing Smash Bros. 3DS. I wanted to.

Polygon 9/10

Super Smash Bros. 3DS hasn't been compressed as much as it has been tailored. And as unlikely as it may be, it fits like a glove.

Eurogamer 7/10

Anyone who's pulled off Nagare Namikawa's synchronised swimming finishing move in the Rival Schools series or played the Sega Saturn's Pocket Fighter will know that humour and irreverence can be elegantly combined with sturdy fighting mechanics. Super Smash Bros. manages only the humour. Away from the communal focus of the television screen, it's a much weaker joke.

Let me know if I miss something and I'll add it.

Add all of these if you can. Metacritic will be updating all day (and probably a bit tomorrow) as more reviews come out, so check in on it every once in a while if you want to continually update the OP.

This is a nice thread to have! Thanks for doing this.

@---
Would you mind merging my thread with the thread above.

 

[KaZe_DaRKWIND]

Ok. How do we merge?

You'd probably either have to have a mod do it or just post your information in his. Or if he wants to he could post his in yours.

Predictions for Metacritic score? Its at 88 now, doubt it changes much, my final guess is 87.

I'll just leave my thoughts here that I posted in another thread.

I actually stopped to read all the reviews (yeah, slow friday here at work), and I'm kinda worried that, one way or another, all reviews mentioned lagging issues. On online play I can understand, but GamesRadar, who gave to lowest score until now, blamed it all to the lag, even on local multiplayer.

I also had lag problems with local multiplayer with the demo, but I blamed the demo itself, and expected the final version to handle it better. It get harder when it's 4 players and lots of projectiles on screen, even without itens. I believe some of you may have experienced this as well.

Seem this I realized the problems that IC would bring.

I still hope they find ways to patch this. Local multiplayer with lag is inexcusable.
