I had the hope of seeing people blasting off. I was not dissapointed
Can't wait to try a HeptaKO during 8 PLAYER CHAOS

The way they echoed his 8 PLAYER CHAOS voice reminds me of the Smash Bros 64 announcer lol

Pretty awesome he's doing this commercial!

I like the Wii U commercial. Especially since they're keeping the "Settle it in Smash" line.

This commercial is a good commercial in my opinion, as many people who aren't all caught up in smash news might be convinced to buy it when they hear about 8 players.

Why couldn't they use that same filter on the announcer's lines in the games? It would have been so much better.

But I'm glad they kind of strayed away from the cringe-worthy acting we usually get in commercials like these and focused mainly on gameplay.

That's it, if Nintendo decides to run any more in-house Smash tournaments, or decide to have an official presence at EVO or APEX next year, they NEED to have Xander on commentary. His voice is the embodiment of energy and hype, he's perfect for the job. Get him on the mic next to someone like D1, and it would be magical :D

Better than the 3DS commercials.

Commercials are always better with teens instead of kids.

This commercial is actually pretty good. It shows a realistic situation with their realistic target audience, and brings the hype without going overboard and actually shows off the game. Good job, Nintendo. I think we've got a winner here.

I think it's an awesome commercial. Better than Brawl's, slightly better than Melee's and almost as good as 64's.

I'm glad they did the live people blasting away thing like they did with the Japanese commercials. Did the US 3DS commercials do that? I forget cuz those were pretty cringeworthy.

The annoucer brings the HYPE.
I like how they start.
Look two fighters, then 4 fighters, then wow 6 fighters and finally the chaotic 8 player Smash.

A vast improvement from the 3DS commercials, i see they adapted the IRL players + KO explosion thing from the JP commercials

And i am in lorve with the "settle it in smash" tagline as well

It would be more hype if they just got some actual players showing off 8 person smash, some actual tourney announcers, and an actual crowd of fans and just got the footage from that.

I'd unironically love if a commercial was just this but with some post editing. 406


Or if they just changed the announcers voice to sound like the official smash announcer.

"Super Smash Brothers: That Ain't Falco for Wii U!"

well, to be fair, did they need a super catchy and epic commercial for smash?

nah, just a public notification suffices lol
