![]() There are thirty-four stages, which sounds like a reasonable amount, but eleven of these are old stages returning from a past game and a lot of the new ones are a little underwhelming. What I was disappointed with, however ( and I’ve mentioned this before) is the lack of stages available. ![]() Game & Watch and Link all return (along with many others) and are just as good as always. Pretty much all of the new characters are very fun to play as (I shan’t mention names just in case anybody out there is still looking to avoid spoilers) and there are lots of returning classics Luigi, Bowser, Donkey Kong, Mr. I’m not unhappy with the selection of characters. But, I don’t mean to give a wholly negative impression. Brawl too and I was especially sad about the absence of Snake. A few characters have been dropped since Super Smash Bros. Certain characters feel like they should have been alternate costumes of others, rather than getting a slot of their own and, had this been done perhaps the more unique fan choices could have been used (although, it’s probably not that simple). This wouldn’t be much of s problem if it weren’t for my second point this game adds a nice new feature in adding extra characters as ‘alternate costumes’ for others ( Pikmin 3‘s Alph being one for Olimar), but I feel this is underutilised. Rool (from the Donkey Kong series) nor Ridley (from the Metroid series) have been made playable, which is a shame considering the high demand for them amongst fans. So, I’ll say that I was happy with the character selection, but there are a few downsides. ![]() I’ve already mentioned Pac-Man and Mega Man (two highly anticipated newcomers) but there’s also Animal Crossing‘s Villager, Wii Fit‘s Wii Fit Trainer and a nice big handful of Fire Emblem characters (which is nice, because I think it’s a series which could use some more recognition). I think the biggest aspect of Smash Bros. But, of course, with an event like this, there’s the risk that things will turn out to be all style and no substance… Could that apply here? Let’s go over the aspects of the series that have made it popular. When you have them along with icons like Mario and Sonic all together in one game, you can tell this is going to be a real ‘event’. This is also the first Smash Bros. to feature Mega Man and Pac-Man.
