Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS review: knockout king

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS (yes, that’s its actual name) is what those in the business call ” extremely fun”. It’s an incredibly varied, accessible and detailed fighter with more than 50 characters, lovingly crafted to look and feel like the games they’ve been pinched from. Pikachu squeaks when it launches a lightening bolt. Link of Legend of Zelda fame yells as he whirlwinds towards Mario, and Sonic whizzes with the gusto of his Sega Genesis days. Super Smash Bros. is, most of all, a nostalgia trip down the long and storied road of Nintendo’s past and present successes. This game is a treasure chest filled with wonder and it’s hard for even the sourest of gamers to not relish in the insane four-player free-for-all’s that defines Super Smash Bros.. Quite simply, you’ll love this game.
