    Worth it and then some

    Product came in amazing shape and works perfectly. The game is a lot of fun, brings back memories of playing it on the n64. It looks great on the switch. And definitely worth the money. Its one of the games you need for the switch. You can change the opponent difficulty which was nice for me to get back into. And there's tons of characters to unlock! Hours and hours of fun ahead!

    Sora for smash please!

    To get started this review will be aimed towards veterans, I will not be explaining what SSB is or how to play it. I will only go over what is different this time around so hold on to your seat. First things first, Here’s a pro tip for any Meta Knight mains, I need you to scroll to the top of the page, close Amazon and go back to For Honor where you obviously main Orochi (pls give Like if you got the joke) but really though. The first thing you want to do is go right into spirits mode, because you only get 8 or so characters to start. Any character you unlock in spirits mode will automatically

    Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!

    i absolutely love this game. i don't have much time playing yet, but i have unlocked all the characters, and am working on the sprites. so far i personally like R.O.B. and ryu, but that is just my personal taste. i would recommend you start with dk if this is your first time playing. the only problem with this is that you need a nintendo online membership to well, play online. i love all the characters that they included. it's really cool seeing characters that i have played as before, ones that i have heard of like link, and ones that i have never heard of. i think it's kinda crazy that chara

    Everything you love about Smash Bros + a horrible online community

    I've been a Smash fan since N64 and I consider this version just as great as all the others. There's plenty of improvements/changes over the last Smash with everything you love about this game series: all your favorite characters and stages, single player content that is enjoyable in small doses, and it will still be your go-to game for local multiplayer.As others have already ranted plenty about, the real killer of this game is the online. The "preferred rules" concept is terrible. You frequently can't play the type of stages you want, you can't change characters between battles, etc. etc., b
