Customer Ratings & Reviews

My son and grand-daughter loved the game! They play online together all the time. I've played it myself a couple of times, and I'm not much of a gamer.

Another franchise that I was never really into but I have always heard about it and have enjoyed watching others play this since first appearing on the N64. Looking forward to getting owned.

I've been playing Super Smash Bros. since the first one on N64 and this is the best yet. True, online play is a bit laggy, and there's not a robust of a museum section and there's not a ton of guidance or instructional training, but obviously, none of those things mattered too much. The fact that I was even able to get on and play with my friends was so much fun. The single-player mode is reminiscent of a well developed mobile game - i.e. way more robust than any previous single-player modes. It's everything you love about smash, with every character you could want and then some, plus a bunch of new elements, items, a huge number of stages, and a single player you could spend hours on alone. All of this considering they'll likely release DLCs and patches to add more and make things even better.

I really enjoy the nostalgia that smash games always bring. This is a significant improvement from the past few games. I eventually plan to get a Gamecube controller, but the pro controller is great and works very well in this game.

Was an incentive purchase for my young son. Figured he was just getting something instead of leaving with nothing. Turns out he actually knew a little about the game and soon had me competing with and against him thanks to the team up, battle royale play, and ability to unlock classic Nintendo favoritess as playable characters. Definitely a fun game adults can bond with kids over.

One of the best Nintendo switch games for a reason. Fun to play with friends or alone.

I had an exorbitant amount of joy relishing in this expansive library. All these iconic Nintendo and non-Nintendo characters are all at their full capacity in skill set. A must-buy for all longing for an all out brawl.

Great for the entire family. Everyone loves playing together. Love it!!

Such a great game! So nostalgic! A must for your collection!

Got for my son for a christmas gift. He's played it before and enjoyed it.

Grew up playing anything mario brings back memories

It is a very fun game, you can spend hours playing it and you will never get bored.

- It’s a solid game with intuitive rules. It’s easy to jump in, as a party game, and it can support eight people playing at once. You can tell someone how to play in about a minute, and they can immediately feel like they’re doing something. You don’t have to explain the inputs for a fireball before Bowser can breathe fire. - Fanservice. Nintendo has a lot of fans, and those fans have a lot of emotional investment in Link and Pikachu. Smashing people with your favorite character is entirely equivalent to owning an action figure of that character and fighting them against other action figures. Great game to play together with family and friends, online or offline.

If you love endless fun, get this game. Nothing else needs to be said.

It is a game you can play for many years with your friends or just by yourself. I have smash bros from 3DS. This one can play on TV and big screen, can't miss it.

Like fighting games? Like Nintendo characters? Have you been living under a rack and never heard of Smash Brothers? What can I say about this game that basically hasn’t been said. It’s a fantastically fun time playing as many of the characters you have come to know and love over the years. Use Zelda and beat up Gannon, or bowser, Mario, peach, ect. They added 6 DLC sightseers with pass one...and have plans for 6 more with pass 2 over the next year. They just keep giving you more options on who to fight with. You can play up to 8 players sitting in your couch ( if you have that many controllers) or play online vs any number of opponents too! Great game, tons of fun. Just buy it already!

I'm going to get the flaws out of the way first since almost all the other reviews already talk about how amazing the game is (which it is). The online, input lag (for competitive players), and world of light (subjective). Online matchmaking has gotten better from release date but is still far from perfect, games can be laggy (advisable to play via Lan) and the ranking system (GSP) is bad. The ranking system doesn't show you where you are at since it ranks you via where you are at from all the players in the game (few points to more points that higher you are) meaning you can't tell where you are at plus other problems that you should investigate further). For matchmaking ometimes if you are looking for a 1v1, you get a free for all or if you are looking for a team battle, the same thing can happen. I also wish there was a stage select since that means if you want a 100 percent chance to get a competitive battle, you will need to choose battlefield or final destination because if you don't, the stages get picked randomly and you might get a huge stage where somebody could camp you out. Input lag is 100ms although pro controller and gamecube controller lag are negligible so use whichever one you want. Finally, world of light can be repetitive and grindy since you're just battling characters with special smash settings (although the references are cool). Positives however make up for more than enough of the games faults. Gameplay is amazing being fast and fluid compared to the predecessor. Old air dodge mechanic from melee is back meaning you can actually go offstage now and really punish players and the roster is amazing almost all characters being balanced in the debut of the game almost all of them with different and fun playstyles. Lots of cool and diverse stages. Finally, the soundtrack is phenomenal. Smash encompasses easy to get into, hard to master so anybody can have a good time. Newcomers should not be intimidated and the community is amazing and helpful. Definitely recommend this game.

Tons of fun. Good game. Good with friends or at a party.

Son is beating the snot out of me lol. The joy cons are small. Good family fun. Makes me want to buy my own switch and unlock all characters to get my title as video game champ back. Just buy. It’s great even for the none gamer.

What could I say that has not been said about this game already? It's fun, it's PACKED with content, it's got the largest roster of characters and arenas of all Smash games, the controls are superb, the music is AMAZING, the "Story" mode is fun, challenging, and super entertaining, and getting the DLC characters (although raises the price of the game by a LOT) is worth it! There are just so many wonderful characters to pick now. I recommend it to anyone that can enjoy this type of party/fighting game, but serious fighting game players... not so much.
