    Still I can't wait to play it, I had it on Wii u and loved it. Put in 200 hours at least.

    Someone talk me out of buying this. I'm never going to play multi-player locally, I've never played a game in the series before and yet my finger is hovering over the buy it now button.

    No problem, it has the fewest new fighters of any Smash game, 11, half that when you take out the Echo or copycat fighters like Dark Samus, Ken, Isabelle, Richter, etc. The fewest new stages, 4. No Trophies. I don't know if other stuff like Home Run Contest is still there or Break the Targets. You did ask. ;)

    sligeach, what ever happened to you my friend. Its easy to manipulate statistics to suit your agenda. The game has more fighters than any other smash before, it doesn't have as many new fight but that's just because most are already their. Stop wrecken the buzz and if you haven't yet bought a switch than your actually using then please move on and buy a ps4. I've got one of those and it ticks all the boxes for you.
    CiDeRmAn is hosting another party and I bet your name is brought up during that evening. "what's the story with that Sligeach fella" they will say. "he used to be normal, till the nx was announced" after that he was never the same.
    The conversation rambled on, "the problem is, he's got these gigantic hands and he can't hold a joycon.
    " two years later and his right eye won't stop twitching".
    "I heard he even bought a switch one time and measured the thumb stick with a micrometer just in case the official dimetions were wrong and he could use it, but it wasn't to be."
    "2 years on and hes still not the same as he used to be. He used to be an elite Mario Kart 8 player believe it or not."
    "I heard hes from Leitrim of all places?" "so they say"
    And so the stories continued the the Evening. True story.

    Nope, we've better things to discuss, like Castlevania SOTN being ported to Switch or which Bomberman is the best.

    That's a who!? from me. :)

    I played an hour or so of this last night - it unlocked for me when I checked around 10pm. I'm still fairly crap, but it's fun. Unlocked a few characters, and played Spirit mode. I've only played handheld, but will hook it up to the dock later and use the Pro Controller.

    Another disgraceful character in SSBU. I doubt we'll be seeing Persona 5 on Switch, it's a PS4 exclusive. As far as I'm concerned they've wasted the 1st out of the 5 DLC characters. Nintendo are keeping things parochial as well by picking a largely Japanese character from a Japanese company. Have I played a Persona game? Of course not, this is Cloud all over again. Nintendo and Sakurai seem to have a different opinion on what SSB means compared to me.


  • Registered Users Posts: 978 ✭✭✭wexdevil


    Looking forward to picking it up, just reserved a copy in Argos, €60.


    I'll probably get the fighter pass at a later date once I see the rest of the characters


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,225 ✭✭✭blockfighter


    Getting it today. Won't get the chance to play till Monday. Disaster!

    A bit of an overreaction there, dude. :o
    Most people seem to be delighted at the inclusion.

    Anyone preorder the special edition and get an email from Smyths yet? Just wondering if I should go in or should I wait for confirmation that it’s ready.

    Question regarding the gamecube adapter.

    I have a few old gamecube controllers I would like to use.

    Has anyone had any experience with unofficial versions of the adapter that sell on ebay and amazon?

    I'm thinking of getting something like this:

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Nintendo-Wii/dp/B00RSXRLUE/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_63_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=2YYND2N1QEHCGFDPY5TE

    Has anyone had any experience with these adapters? I'm only wary because there was so much issues with unofficial chargers that I don't want to run into the same problem with the adapter.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,801 ✭✭✭iamtony


    Played an hour today and I'm impressed, the graphics are great. Sooo many stages to choose from. I've already seen the credits once and they are even fun:)


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,801 ✭✭✭iamtony

    You do know the switch is portable right?

    I have that one and used it on the Wii U for Smash and it worked great for that (and playing Gamecube games through the (hacked) Wii mode).

    Haven't tried it on the Switch but I am planning to pick up this device instead for the new Smash

    So what time is the tournament this evening:)


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,014 ✭✭✭✭Corholio


    Happy Smashing all, my limited edition from Nintendo probably won't be here until Monday/Tuesday.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,814 ✭✭✭TPD


    Picking it up from Smyths on the way home this evening, and I'm on call over the weekend so have to sit in the house. Not complaining :D Tournament on Monday evening I might head to.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,532 ✭✭✭WarZoneBrother


    Zero copies in my local Argos , amazing .. checked this morning too they must have ordered none

    Kinda the same boat, everything Smash related (game, console bundle, deluxe bundle with GC controller) are all up for pre-order for 11th-14th. Maybe no truck delivery this week (or the Smash stuff missed the window to get shipped to certain stores).

    Anyways, was heading to de big smoke tomorrow already so have a copy booked in Jervis.

    Now the hunt for a 4th controller; anyone know if the Smash Pro Controller is the tweaked one with improved d-pad like the Xenoblade one? Might be too early for reviews to see, don't see much point dropping €20 extra on one over a regular Pro if not!

    Was on my way to the store after work and got a text to say it was ready anyway. :) The limited edition is huge and comes nicely presented, well worth €95 with the GameCube controller, adaptor, and steelbook.

    I'm jealous, I paid 70 for the digital version last night, don't know what I was thinking.... Oh wait I do, I was drunk and though I'd be playing it at midnight not realising it would take 4 hours to download:mad:

    Haha.
    Sadly I'm out of the country since this morning till Sunday night. Got a mate of mine to pick up my physical copy from Smyths today that I pre-ordered. I didn't have time to get to Smyths myself. Won't see him till Monday. Hence, disaster!
