This game arrived on time and in perfect sealed condition

If you're getting your family a Switch, this is a good multiplayer game to get with it.

awesome, very intertaning and full of action and fun for my grandson’s

Pros: The World of Light adventure mode is fantastic. Not only is it really fun to play with the addition of a progression system with the spirits, skill tree, and unlocking more fighters, but it also quite long and will take you many hours to fully play through. I actually quite enjoyed the spirit system and the many different spirit fights seem diverse enough that it doesn't really start to bore me. Maybe the only problem is the varied difficulty of fights. Most fights are insanely easy after you have a decent full leveled spirit, even on the highest difficulty, but you can always purposefully handicap yourself by using a weaker spirit if that's your thing. But also some of the fights were so insanely difficult and unfair that switching down to "easy" mode still made the fight take me 30 minutes of replaying to beat (and I'm pretty decent at the game). Honestly it wasn't even a downside for me I enjoyed the challenge and it wasn't a necessary fight for progressing. Huge character pool this time around. "Everyone is here!" Not an exaggeration over 80 characters will be on the roster after dlc and counting Pokemon trainer as multiple fighters. Obviously some of those are just slightly different echo fighters, but the diversity is still great. Just quick unlocking characters by restarting, unlocking, and restarting again took a long time. All the characters look great and feel great to play and play vs, though I haven't been able to use all of the extensively yet. I'm not a pro player by any stretch, but the fighting mechanics feel fluid and the engine seems well polished. I love that the heavy characters have been buffed by having their lag time for aerials and landing reduced. I like them making perfect shield harder/different as it will give pros something to develop skill wise as well. Hopefully the pro scene will be able to make something of this game as smash 4 was a bit of a let down (won't even talk about brawl). They also made training mode better, and allow you to play the game while waiting for an online match, but many other parts of online are less than desirable. Cons: Online mode is kind of taking a back seat here. I was really hoping we would be getting a more fine tuned and more competition oriented online mode, but got the opposite. They made online mode a for fun system, which I understand is the direction Sakurai wants to take with the game, but I just don't understand why they couldn't have given their competitive community a bone here. Online match making no longer has a For Glory mode. There is simply casual mode with a matchmaking system that puts you up against someone near your skill level based on an elo system on a per fighter basis. It also matches you with some with a game rule similar to your own, but not exact.... this has made me go into what I thought was a 1v1 no items match into an assist trophy free for all nightmare. This is also going to continue to create debates as to what the "official" competitive rule set will be for 1v1 online play. Overall the game is a great experience and was definitely worth the purchase and worth the wait. Tons of replayablity and fun for all levels of players.

To get started this review will be aimed towards veterans, I will not be explaining what SSB is or how to play it. I will only go over what is different this time around so hold on to your seat. First things first, Here’s a pro tip for any Meta Knight mains, I need you to scroll to the top of the page, close Amazon and go back to For Honor where you obviously main Orochi (pls give Like if you got the joke) but really though. The first thing you want to do is go right into spirits mode, because you only get 8 or so characters to start. Any character you unlock in spirits mode will automatically join you in regular smash, however any character you unlock by triggering the “A new challenger appears” fight, will not be added to spirts. The best way I can describe this mode is a mix between Pokemon and Mario party, you and your opponents can equip spirits (that have replaced trophies) that can give you boosts like, improved jumps, stronger attacks, fire resistance, etc. And the ultimate goal is to equip spirits that counter your opponent’s. Although once you have your favorites leveled up enough it’s possible to just tank your way throughout most of the battles. Except for a few annoying ones. And get comfortable because this mode took me 15 hours to complete with only a 80% completion rate. I suggest you tough it out because the final act really makes the grind worth it. The entire Game has received minor graphical upgrades, as for the fighters themselves, all have obtained animation tweaks that give them more personality overall, Mario has a cooler down smash, Zelda has a new costume and can now throw energy beams with his sword at full health (A little inside joke for the Nintendo vets) Every part of the game really makes it feel like they put they’re heart and soul into it. The amount of content packed in here is astounding. Even the settings/rules you’re allowed to play with can be overwhelming at times, but don’t worry, you can save and name your custom rules so you can get back into the action quicker. Also be sure to take advantage of the ability to pick 2 stages and morph between them. Home run contest and target practice are gone, Because they had to save space somehow. But Here’s the real tragedy. I think all of us veterans know that picking the right color makes us play better, and some alternative colors where cut. Are they really expecting us Mario mains to go online and fight those Malakas Meta Knight mains without his fire flower outfit?! (AC fans where you at?) in all seriousness though, this game is a love letter too all the Smash fans that have been with this franchise throughout the years. Do yourself a favor. Buy this game and good luck online. If you enjoyed this review be sure to like, comment, and subscribe! Update; So they added 2 new DLC characters, Piranha Plant and Joker from Persona 5. Look up gsmVoiD to get in-depth look at both characters. And be sure to use P Plant’s neutral Special attack on opponents trying to get back on the stage if you like cultivating salt in amounts that the world has never seen. Also be sure to hit the bell icon to be updated all that is SSBU.

Best video game

Just buy it, it's a must have for any Switch owner

Just buy it. Buy it already.

I really liked the game, so I got it. Just because. It functions as if brand new two weeks later. Really great game.

Was I nervous about buying my kids a game that requires them to fight one another? Sure. But then I remembered they’re siblings, so… The game has all the familiar characters. At one point Pikachu and Zelda were wailing on one another with enormous swords. The levels are easy to navigate, the graphics are solid, and there was plenty of opportunity for them to grab loot and gain XP.
