Smash 4 Hype

For those of you who haven't been paying attention, Super Smash Bros. for the 3DS was released yesterday. 

Some initial thoughts:

Many new additions to the character roster which is always great to see. Also many of the older characters who felt weaker in the previous Smash (Brawl) have been given some updates and seem to be performing better than before. It's still too early really to say which characters are the best but there are definitely some who feel stronger than others (read: Bowser). I've been having a lot of fun with Ness (my old standby), Greninja, and surprisingly Pac-man.

The online mode is great, although a bit laggy at times which can ruin it. Either way it is still fun to be able to challenge others over the Internet. Custom moves are a new addition that seem to have some potential although I haven't looked into those too much as of yet. The most exciting thing in my opinion is the portability of this game. Being able to take your DS anywhere and play Smash is going to be awesome for sure. Overall I'd say 10/10 would play again.

I'm going to be doing some more in-depth game/character analyses in the upcoming week, but for now this is a general "OMG IT'S HERE! IT'S FINALLY HERE!" post.
