Super Smash Bros. For Wii U Bundle


Even more out of left field than yesterday's One Direction post might be seen as, here is the new special $100 bundle for the new Super Smash Bros! Yet another six years in the waiting, I was at GameStop waiting for about six hours before I finally got to hold my copy. And the game, as you might expect, is absolutely fantastic! Hell, a lot of you have probably already played this by the time I post this up... if you have access to Wii Us, of course.


I waited the extra month to get my hands on this, rather than the 3DS version, because I honestly didn't really care about having Smash Bros on the go. I was especially on board once I heard that this game would be compatible with a new Wii U adapter for Gamecube controllers, which is the only real way to play the game as far as I'm concerned. (Unless you're playing the N64 version, of course.)


Oddly enough, I found that the build of the new Gamecube controller included in this bundle felt a bit cheaper than older Gamecube controllers made during the sixth generation. The buttons feel fine and functional, but the plastic mold of the controller feels a bit cheaper than usual, and the wire is noticeably stiffer. A reliance on using molds for third-party controllers, or just working the kinks out from getting back to producing controllers that haven't been produced in seven years? You decide. It still functions well enough.


And as a bonus, I received this sweet cardboard championship belt from the GameStop employees while waiting in line! Unfortunately, it seems to be coming apart a little, but it's embossed! Hell yeah!
