Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U exemplifies the best the console —heck, Nintendo itself- has to offer. The overall experience has a trim and polish that is exceptional even by Nintendo's standards, and while there are a few nitpicks that longtime fans of the series might find, it's hard to argue against this being the best game in the series to date. There's never been a better reason to invite a room full of people over to your house.

Titles that will mark the history of video games, we find perhaps 3 or 4 per generation of consoles. It's very little, still happy, but it's the price of skimming. For many, Smash Bros. on Wii U will be part of this race, that of the venerable, of those who will be talked about by the fire to our grandchildren.

It's not just an exercise in fan service - it's an example of what happens when a company that really cares about putting out a truly great product does just that. Kudos, Nintendo.

Super Smash Bros for Wii U fixes everything disappointing about its predecessor and is a phenomenal game in its own right. While I miss the Subspace Emissary story mode and the Amiibo feel a little underused, the rest of the game is exploding with content and the core mechanics are near-perfect. Get this game at the earliest opportunity and gather your friends—Smash Bros on Wii U is now the undisputed king of party games.

If any game in the "Super Smash Bros." series has ever been the go-to game to play with your group of friends, this new Wii U version will replace it. A new "Super Smash Bros." game is the only suitable successor to a previous "Super Smash Bros." The king is dead, long live the King.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is a bit of a flawed masterpiece. The core fighting game is the best it has ever been, expertly balancing approachability for newcomers and intricate depth for hardcore fans. If the core Smash Bros. experience is all you are after, then the Wii U's iteration is a no-brainer.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is an excellent fighting game and the best Smash Bros. game. With smooth online play, crisp graphics, diverse roster of characters, and imaginative stages, this game is the reason people play games. It's fun for the entire family but is challenging enough to push you to achieve greater heights. Play it. Love it.
