Super Smash Bros.
Whether you play Super Smash Bros. on Wii U or 3DS, you have subjected yourself to one of the best fighting game experiences created in 2014. Super Smash Bros. is a wonderful example of delightful chaos against vivid, dangerous backgrounds that are just as much a part of your battle as your numerous opponents. Ever since Super Smash Bros. first introduced gamers to a Nintendo all-star brawl on the Nintendo 64 back in 1999, it was clear the title would be a hit. Super Smash Bros. not only retains the authenticity and feel-good familiarity that keeps players coming back, but it also provides a ton of additional content and deepens combat with the ability to equip characters with stat boosters.
While the eight player game mode can sometimes err on the side of too chaotic, even in those moments the game feels unapologetically in tune with the entire Super Smash Bros. series in a way that feels welcoming to casual gamers and can still present challenges for the pros.
