I Don't Own a Wii-U
"Wii-U is a silly console for babies and has no games to play"
While I understand many people enjoy games that go to other consoles, such as CoD and some ubisoft games, those games are not all unique to THAT console. Is a Wii-U right for you? Have you been on the line? Have you been waiting for smash? Then why the hell are you reading this and not buying one. There are tons of games, and smash just tipped the scale.
Amiibo
Now let's start for real. Amiibo is quite easily the thing i was most enthralled with. You register your Amiibo, set it's skin and can even change it's move set, and level it to 50. How fast is the leveling? It took me about 1-2 hours to level my Link Amiibo. It's fast. But not too fast.
The difficulty these little guys go up to is horrifying. I am no pro, I've never planned to be pro, but damn, they put comps to shame. These Ammibo's learn your moves. Nintendo is literally getting one step closer to creating artificial Intelligence. Even when it's at level 50, it can still learn new techniques how to handle it's situation. So playing with the Amiibo with TONS of different characters is beneficial.
It gets tough around lvl 40. I started losing every match. It's painful to say, but if you're like me, you tend to have a style of play, and now i'm aware of it. Amiibo's will punish you for this. They are scary and difficult, yet when they're on a team match with you, it's great.
Also, pitting two Amiibo against each other feels like underground animal fight rings. It's glorious.
This little guy is the face of death.
1080 60fps
I don't think i need to say anything in this section except BEAUTIFUL. But let me go into detail saying more than "It's so good omagd." So firstly it actually caught me off guard at how smooth it was, I actually felt a little lost. Am I saying this is a bad thing? Heck no! Quite the opposite, it was so smooth i had to realize that all of my timing had to be adjusted ever so slightly. But i got the hang of it quite easily. The colours are great, and you rarely lose track of your character. Unless it's 8 man smash, then you might.
8 Man smash!
I've only played this mode on classic, where everyone bombards a "Small" stage and attacks everyone. It flowed really well, no lag or anything at all. My only problem was i lost where i was the first time, but i expected something like that. 8 Man smash is definitely a great way to include all the people at your party or get together to smash. Is it that same competitive feel? That "1v1 fox only no items final D" God no, i hated that personally. But it's nice, the giant stages really help it out and give you tons of room to use. Hyrule temple really feels at home in this mode.
Everyone be taunting. 8 PEOPLE BE TAUNTING
Smash Tour
I had no idea what i was getting into, and I got stomped. When they say all players move at one time, they really do. You roll your spinner, and when YOU are ready, move in a direction. Whether you were ready or not, other players will move around. Honestly haven't played much of this mode yet, but i have to say it is definitely NOT mario party, But, it has that "FUCK YOU!" element stitched in.
Custom Stage maker
This was my favorite thing to do in Brawl, although people didn't like the stages I used to make. But in this game, the stage maker is quite nice. Create your own platform shapes and more. While there are less options of things to choose from in this maker, there is more versatility. I've made a stage where if you smash someone off the screen to the left, there will be a cannon that shoots them back to the stage.
This. Just amazing.
Master orders and Crazy orders
-Still have not tried this mode. I apologize-
OVERALL RATING
Don't have smash? Get smash.
Don't have wii-u? Get smash. Then a Wii-U
Also Get yourself an Amiibo, they're what sold me on the game.
The hype is real.
