With the release only one week away, several major gaming news sources have reviewed Super Smash Bros for 3DS, earning the game an average of 88 on Metacritic based on 24 reviews. The reviews generally praise the multiplayer offerings and fantastic roster and focus on Nintendo’s gaming history, though suggest that there could have been more in the way of singleplayer modes, and mention that since the screen is so small when a four player match gets spread out the fighters are sometimes hard to keep track of. Here are some of the review snippets from Metacritic, click the links for the full reviews:
While there are definite areas where Nintendo could improve on Super Smash Bros. in an inevitable sequel, this is the most feature-complete, compelling Super Smash Bros. entry to date. It stands right alongside Fire Emblem: Awakening and The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds as a game that every 3DS owner should play.
Smash 3DS is impressive and, for the most part, feels right at home on 3DS. The multitude of ways to play and awesome customization gave me many reasons to keep fighting – and I’ve been at it for more than 45 hours already.
At its core, Super Smash Bros. is both a loving tribute to Nintendo and a surprisingly deep fighter, and though it hasn’t changed much over the years, its appeal is strong as ever on the Nintendo 3DS. The solo experience is admittedly lacking, but as a multiplayer game, it remains a delight.
Stay tuned to Gamer Headlines for our own review of the game after it releases in Europe and North America on October 3rd, 2014.
