Day 78 of 100 Happy Gaming Days: Super Smash Bros 3DS

I picked up Super Smash Bros 3DS on release day and played it for the whole week pretty much non-stop. After returning to SSB 3DS today to gear up for the Wii U version arriving in the UK next week I thought I'd write a little blog.

SSB 3DS has a variety of ways to unlock it's many trophies and characters, so it's really up to you how you want to approach the game. I spent the majority of my time in classic mode, painstakingly playing through it with each character, so I made myself a bit sick constantly repeating the same game mode over and over. By the time I had unlocked every character, which was surprisingly easy, I guess I just grew tired of it; but SSB isn't a single player game by any means.

The most fun to be found in SSB 3DS is in the games multiplayer modes. Sadly the online multiplayer is still a lag ridden mess, but playing with friends only or local multiplayer is where this game truly shines.

Battling with friends is nothing short of fantastic, especially during those nail-biting sudden death moments, and there's more customisation options than you can shake a stick at. The best match I've played was with my wife and sister, a 25 stock match, hammers only with 1UPS available. It was 40 minutes of sheer hell but it was bloody exciting; I WON!!!!  

The Wii U version is looking incredibly promising with the introduction of 5-8 player game modes, plus it looks absolutely stunning in HD...if only I could decide which bundle to get???
