Ever since I saw some previews of this game, I've been dying to check it out. When I heard it was also coming out on the 3DS, I was even more ecstatic! When I went to the event known as SmashFest (a one-day event that took place at specific Best Buy locations where you could try the game well before it is to release), I got to try the game myself. Though I wasn't exactly a fan of having to use the Wii U Pro controller instead of the good, old GameCube controller, I still look forward to this game's release sometime around Christmas 2014 for the Wii U version and on October 3rd, 2014 for the 3DS version.
I've always wondered why Nintendo never thought about a portable version of the Super Smash Brothers game before until they came around to making this. Guess I can't say they haven't thought about it anymore, can I? I am, without a doubt, stoked to see Nintendo making a version of this game for the 3DS that appears to be just about as good as the Wii U version.
There are a ton of characters to pick and choose from in this game. There's anyone and everyone from Mario and Luigi to Little Mac from Punch-Out!, your own Mii characters and the female Wii Fit trainer from (well, what else?) the Wii Fit series! I'll admit that I think some of the character choices are a bit lame, such as the female Wii Fit trainer, but I could most certainly be wrong on the character's moves.
The courses to pick and choose from are great, though some have very distracting backgrounds from the course itself actually moving while you're trying to battle your opponents. That can be a heck of a distraction and make gameplay more difficult.
Since I'm fully accustomed to playing the game with a GameCube controller, trying out the Wii U Pro controller due to it being our only option was a challenge for me since I'm not used to the button layout or just about anything with the controller. I'm sure Nintendo will allow many different controller types to be used during gameplay with this: probably just about anything from the GameCube controller to the Wii Classic controller to the Wii U Pro controller (of course).
All in all, this game looks to be a (*chuckles*) smash hit. The game appears to be a great addition to the Smash Brothers series in addition to a wonderful addition to the catalog of games for the Wii U and 3DS systems. I'll most definitely be getting a copy of the 3DS version once it comes out, and (if you want) you're welcome to battle me online.
