I am a user of the first hour of Nintendo, finally, more precisely, of the console, the NES. And honestly, I have never played before Smash Bros Wii-U. Because between the NES of my adolescence and the Wii / Wii U, I passed on more consoles "adult" PC, PS3 and 360. And the children arrived. Not yet ready for DOC ... So, we go back to Nintendo.
So much mocked Nintendo to launch Wii-U using any excuse to go down Big-N (sometimes rightly) ... But let's admit one thing, more and more journalists are at least agree with that. If the Wii-U is not the most powerful current console, Nintendo knows how to do not only playing end, fun, but also to fully exploit its console, unlike third-party games that adapt quickly One or PS4 Eastern countries without means and accuse the console capabilities ... When they want to do it! And no pay DLC to go after games that are not always completed on their launch in many other publishers on competing consoles!
All this to say that we are dealing with a huge great game, maybe the big game of the year! Huge by its possibilities: content, publishers, characters, music, videos, patterns galore, incredible life, an exemplary flow (Ubisoft, among others, could take a leaf!) .. . and you can even play with up to 8 GameCube controller !!!
Not to mention the great novelty; clever use (not essential!) of Amiibos. They learn to be your way of playing and will play (saved in the figure) with or against you or fight alone and can learn from their defeats for stronger beings. Also handy to keep its "configuration" on another Wii-U.
Note that amiibo are used very quickly. There just has to pass on the gamepad when prompted. No need to leave the place like Skylanders ...
The only thing that can really regret is the lack of a main frame ... But is this really what we demand for this type of game?
And with nearly 50 characters, more or less nostalgic, and various environments, we are treated to a beautiful tribute to video games ... Not forgetting some old games playable bonus (and demo only) ... All for less 50! Competition could well be inspired a little!
Now the game is not recommended at least 12 years ... Well, personally I find a low limitation. You can see worse in some cartoons. See for yourself.
