Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is the fifth installment in Nintendo's popular fighting game series and was released exclusively for the Wii U in 2014. The game brings together over 50 characters from various Nintendo universes - such as Mario, Link, Pikachu, Samus, Kirby and Donkey Kong - in fast-paced multiplayer battles. Guest characters such as Sonic, Mega Man, Pac-Man and Ryu also enrich the squad.

In typical Smash Bros. style, the aim is not to reduce your opponent's life bar to zero, but to throw them out of the arena by increasing their damage value. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U offers an enormous variety of game modes, stages, items and customization options. Particularly noteworthy is the local multiplayer mode with up to eight players at the same time, which was possible for the first time on the Wii U.

The Wii U version scores with detailed HD graphics, smooth performance and numerous multiplayer options - locally, online or in teams. In addition, amiibo figures are supported, which players can use to train their own AI-controlled fighters. The game's depth, fan service and competitive nature make Super Smash Bros. for Wii U one of the console's most popular and most-played titles.
