[pokepal148]

Ok then 9.0

[ObbyDent]

Aw. 

Just for you. <3

[Phil]

A!

[Stratos]

If online is good then 9.8. If online is poor 9.2.

[Triforce Hermit]

9.5 or 10.

[Veitch11]

I'm guessing a 9.6

So last night I was looking for a gift for my friend's birthday and naturally hit up places that sell videogames.  I encountered honest-to-God BUZZ for SSB at every store.  A Wii U game's release being an event?  Really.

Toys 'R' Us - clerk talking to a parent about Amiibo and SSB and how the two connect.
EB Games - seemingly every single person in line was asking about it.  When does it go on sale?  Will they still have copies beyond the pre-orders?
Willow Video (local chain) - I could hear an employee on the phone talking about when they start selling the game.  This place also had all of the Nintendo stuff coming out tomorrow - SSB, Pokémon remake, Gamecube controller, Gamecube controller adapter - on the shelf behind the counter with the sign "on sale tomorrow" next to it.

It was pretty cool.  Haven't seen that kind of anticipation for a Nintendo game in a long time.  Maybe Reggie's hopes for the title aren't as unrealistic as I thought.

I went to my local Best Buy Wednesday and they had a big Amiibo display and were completely sold out of Wii U consules

Well it's lost points with me. What good is it to customize your button layout when it switches back to default when you play online?

[Leo13]

I don't get it. Why this implied face palm?

Oh wait. Forgot my NinID & Smash Bros names are the same. Nevermind, points refunded.

Y'all know NWR only uses .0 and .5, right?

There's a first time for everything.

Normally yes. But Smash Bros Wii U is incredible it is going to cause an exception to the rule when it is awarded a 10.1 score.

I love it.

Neal,
Make it happen!

[WiiUIVLife]

As close as it gets... 9.5 out of 10.

[AV]

9.9 , online is rough but still amazing.


I ordered mine via toys' r us to get free ammibo and got free shipping so who knows when I'll get it, I got 3DS version so I'm good.

How rough is online? Is it just slammed or is it broken like on Wii?

[broodwars]

I think Smash Tour alone is awful enough to be worth removing a full point for, let alone the online play.

The game has so much content. If there's 1 more you absolutely hate and will never play to me it shouldn't hurt the score. Just ignore it and judge it off the modes you'll actually play that still leaves plenty of content.
The mode want designed for you and I, it was designed for my 3 kids that love Mario Party. Just give it whatever score you would have if that mode was completely left out.
Adding an extra mode should never hurt a score unless you're somehow required to play it

That is your opinion, some people look at the whole product not individual pieces. Look at Star Wars, as a whole it is an awesome product but putting Jar Jar Binks into Phantom Menace tainted that film, the movie is less enjoyable because he is in it and even though you can mute it and fast forward the parts he is in you can't unwatch this terrible performance nearly ruin Star Wars for an entire generation. So yes you can judge the whole product if it includes something you think is distracting and taken into consideration that development of said distraction took away from development of additional costumes, characters, stages, or modes people asked for, then YES it is a valid reason to dock the game a point.

If you want to unlock all the stages, you are required to play it at least 3 times (once for each board).
