I'm still gonna keep my precious 3DS version. Not looking forward to getting the Wii U version. The characters in the 3DS version look sexy without the outlines. :p

Seriously, I am so impressed with the character detail and my Lord I may not have a Game Cube adapter but by far the Wii U Pro controller is 100 time more precise and responsive than the 3DS. The scrubs online stood no chance.

So far haven't played more than 2 laggy matches out of the 90 some I did in For Glory today. Game feels so great. But I have to admit, I have some complaints...

Still, this is the best Smash game since Melee and I hope they keep polishing it with tweaks and balance updates.

Already got mine, Mega Man and Bowser Jr. look great in HD and the music is good too. the online play still sucks though unfortantley, too much lag.

Honest Trailers did a rather hilarious roast of our favorite series. I'd embed it here, but I'm afraid it might offend the mods. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUvBYs5bVcM
"Raise your hand if you knew who Shulk was before Smash. Congratulations, you are now Japanese."
I remember bombarding the comment section begging them to do a Honest Trailer of Smash Bros., I figure they would wait until release of the Wii U version. I was right :)

Edit: Just one thing, LUCARIO IS NOT A DAMN CLONE!

It's funny because Xenoblade wasn't even released in Japan. I don't do my research.

Sadly, my local Wal-Mart didn't sell the GameCube adapter, so I'm stuck with the next best thing I own, the awkwardly awkward Classic Controller (not the Pro one).... :(

Game is great though! ^_^
You know what? The Classic Controller isn't as bad as I thought it would be.... It's actually a great compensation to the fact that none of my local VG shops was selling the adapter.....

Unless you live in Europe... You got Pokémon ORAS and Smash Wii U before us, it ain't even fair for us to wait...

It's a Nintendo game that got a 9.8 out of 10 on IGN.

So much for the Call of Duty / Halo getting those ratings as well.

So are we going to see better Wii U sales now that people can buy Smash for Wii U?
There will definitely be at least a temporary boost.

BTW: What time zone is the home page's countdown for Europe set to? It doesn't look right.

I've already fought like 300 for glory 1v1s lol. It's seriously beautiful. the wii u will definitely sell now, i'm sure of it. not only because of smash, but when the next zelda and main title mario game come it'll boost sales dramatically.

also anyone who wants to smash with me send me a request i'm literally smashing all the time. NNID: zbot09

Lurking in the darkness.....
Warning: this post contains a lot of rambling.


Welp. Now I gotta go buy a Wii U. I hope the winter cold doesn't bother the Wii U too much (at least bother it less than it bothers my laptop), I generally leave my computer/game room a little on the chilly side since electronics seem to heat up so gosh darn much. The heat from electronics tends to force shut downs on my electronics in the summer if I'm not careful and ignore heat management. Thank goodness for windows and fans.

I look forward to seeing how Meta Knight does in SSB4, haven't heard any big complaints about him just yet.
Lucario looks more fun with his aura gimmick making a larger difference.
I look forward to seeing the buffs that R.O.B., Charizard and Link, and other "bad" characters obtained.

I look forward to playing against you guys!




On a side note I hate exclusive Amiibos.
I'll go get Meta Knight! Best Buy exclusive? Damn, that's out of state.
Well maybe I can get Lucario! Toys R Us exclusive? That's out of state too!
Damn, I got pretty unlucky with those exclusives. My 2 most wanted Amiibos are unable to be obtained.... Well I suppose shipping is an option, I just like dealing with the drama that goes in with mail when you're in a house with other people.

At least I can get Shulk, the last exclusive. I'd rather get Link and/or Toon Link (I like link but getting 2 of him is a bit overkill and it's hard to decide which one), Little Mac, and Fox McCloud before I get Shulk.
That's not including the other characters fighting for my attention that aren't even announced. R.O.B. (Nostalgia for NES and my introduction to video games), Falco, Charizard.
Also add in Ike, Greninja, Robin for characters I like just about equally as Shulk. So It's rather unlikely I get Shulk.

Meh, I'll just stick with Fox + Link since they are available right now...... but that does make me tempted to get Marth, while he's tied with Pit for 2nd bottom tier of the Amiibos I want, he would complete my Melee Main Trio.
Captain Falcon (aka "Face of Smash" imo) and the Mii Fighters are my bottom tier wants for Amiibos.

Bah, if I was super rich I'd buy all the Amiibos. There's literally at least 20 I would like to get. That would be $260 for just Amiibos. I hate having to choose between my favorite characters. But hey, good thing that there's that many characters I love right? :bubblebobble:

Meanwhile I'll be stuck with the intentionally worse and lesser version. Better than nothing I guess.
Don't hate the game if you haven't understood how to truly grasp the foundation of the game (meaning tech skill, knowledge, creativity, experiment and so on).


I played the demo and the new one (friend bought it yesterday) I went to his house to play it. The game has slower movements (character and game in general), great graphics of course, pretty good cast of characters, over the top effects that are annoying, at times fast movement but rarely, blast zones farther, nerfed damage ratios, Wi-Fi pretty good, hit stun more worse than Brawl (which is the pinnacle of a head shot towards Wii-U 4).

The game is nothing special, only newer features and graphics is the only thing that's grasping my attention to buy the game and kind of some of the new cast characters.

Um, ok? I'm not even hating the game. I love Smash 4, I just want to own the Wii U version because it has a lot more things compared to... hardly anything on the 3DS.

But whatever man.

Your mom wants you to buy a video game console?
Are you sure that's your mom?
Well she doesn't want me to buy a Wii U. I already own almost every Nintendo console ever so she probably thinks I might as well get a PS4 or something non-nintendo.

You wrote and I quote " I'll be stuck with the intentionally worse and lesser version."

A better way to write your displeasure would be 'I wish I could get this game' instead of 'intentionally worse'.

Also, you might as well not even bother buying the Smash4 but good luck man, some people are now modding the new characters into Brawl and soon enough everything will be modded into Brawl, yes! Long live Brawl~
