Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS

 

It has been 6 years ago, and now it's time for the next generation of Super Smash Bros., and this time, a portable edition is available for the first time, and amongst other new features, feels like everything clicked.

For 3DS, or cleverly also known as Four 3DS, is the first edition available which I have been playing more or less for 1.5 hours each day for a month now. The roster having almost 50 characters, and the vast amount of stages, music and trophies means that the content is bigger than ever.

Familiar gameplay will be recognized by veterans of N64, Melee or Brawl where your objective is to smash opponents out of the stages. The online connectivity can range from being playable towards being unplayable, but it's addictive to encounter strangers who especially stick around longer for more matches.

The connection does not end there, because the Wii U version can also link with this in order to transfer Mii Fighters most of all, a new personal way of customizing 3 specific fighters towards your own liking, using clothes which can be collected plus of course your own Mii, or the ones of others.

Exclusive towards Super Smash Bros. for 3DS is a mode called Smash Run, which is inspired by the City Trial from Kirby Air Ride, where in both examples, you must collect stats and fight it out in the end using that which was collected.


As far as content and gameplay go, both are outstanding and offer deep amounts of replay value. The core gameplay in particular will be interesting to keep playing because for the first time, Nintendo has decided to bring out balance patches, which will make the tournament scene also more notable.

Super Smash Bros. for 3DS is one of the best multiplayer games of 2014, one of the best found on the 3DS and will be enjoyed most of all portably on holidays for example, because unfortunately, the superior version has also arrived around the world by now.

Rating: 9.0
