Customer Ratings & Reviews

Keeping the nostalgic feeling of the previous Smash games yet bringing something new to the table with the story mode and spirits mode. Even if you don't have Nintendo online this game will still keep you busy on your own. Learning the different combos for each character is somewhat challenging (like all fighter games) but the payoff is wonderful as you can see Sonic pull off a combo against DK. This game is used to not only see who is right in a discussion but who also has to do the chores.

Kids love it Always been a huge fan of smash bros yup

grand kids love the fun playing Super Smash Brothers game.

Purchased this game as a Christmas present for my son and it kept him entertained for at least half of the 14 hour car ride home.

The concept is really fun, where you can duel using most characters in the Nintendo universe, each having their own unique abilities and powers. It was difficult for me to master the controls, though, especially using the standard joy-cons in handheld mode. I ordered a Switch Pro controller hoping this will improve my chances—I think the joy-con sticks may be just a bit too sensitive for this game. Also, I’m now at a point in the game where I feel a bit stuck—there is no way for me to progress without winning the next-higher difficulty battle, which I have failed after many tries, and no way for me to go back and improve my skills with lower difficulty battles. Perhaps platform fighting games are just not my thing. If you’re like me, it may take you some time and effort to advance in this game.

Kids love it. Strongly recommended for Everyone. It’s a very nice game for family gatherings and simple entertainment.

While everybody will focus on the roster or stage selection, which are definitely ample, I’ll just comment briefly on the nuances from a fighting engine side. Lots of little details that work well - neutral jabs have more combos, some timings have been tweaked for tilt and smash attacks, etc. The AI dodges better and can be harder to hit properly which makes the 8 or 9 cpu levels just a smidge more interesting. Definitely makes some characters more usable from a fight mechanic perspective. Great game.

If you enjoy casual fighting games, this has to be one of the very best ever. The game celebrates video game history with its HUGE roster of playable characters from different games. There are too many to list here but rest assured that you will be able to find a character to have fun with in this game. They also included a sizeable single player mode to go with the absurdly fun multiplayer mode that you can enjoy both online and on the couch with friends. This is a must have in any Switch owner's library.

This game has so many features, characters and Easter eggs packed in that I've been barely scratched the surface after 30 hours. Huge roster of characters for the price that took over 20 hours to unlock them all. The story mode can take least 20 hours to complete and it's a fun mode with a neat story line and objectives. Online is passable but I hope it improves. It works great in portable or docked. Frame rate is solid and graphics are great on both modes. This is a must buy for Switch owners!

Awesome game. And great graphic effects. Challenging and fun to play .beat buy was cheapest price and best service .

Fun from very start, no skill needed, my kids let their switch gather dust, but now they can’t get enough of this game. it’s exciting to see my kid unlock their favorite characters

I bought it for my Niece stationed overseas, she and her unit love it! It's a welcome distraction!

my son LOVES this game. Tons of characters. Easy to learn controls. Just plain fun

This game is so much fun for my 3 sons. They play it often and always laugh and have fun together.

You need to have at least one multiplayer switch game for when friends come over or you go to a party. I’ve never been a huge fan of Mario Kart and I had SSBM since we first got a GameCube. The number of characters and levels is worth it alone. There is plenty to enjoy if you’re by yourself, but don’t kid yourself, it’s a fighting game, if you aren’t into that kind of thing, look elsewhere.

My son likes the game and also he told me is really entertaining for adults too

I know my brother will love this game for Christmas

My son loves this game! He plays it all the time without getting bored.

Bought this game for my 10 year old. He loves it. I think you can play up to 8 players!

I am new to the Smash title. This game is so much fun for the whole family. The first time we played, there were three of us playing. Ranging in age from 20-58. Dad had never played video games other than Mario Cart, and Video Poker. He laugh till he cried while we were playing this game. It has become a weekly thing to get together and play this on the Switch. We have even added some more older family members into the fray. Definitely a crowd favorite whether you are a seasoned gamer or a first timer.
