Just came back from Best Buy Smash Fest, oh my the wii-u version of smash bros is so sweet to look at, and I'm in love with the pro controller just like i thought i would be! I let my competitive nature get the best of me, especially with the huge crowd behind me getting so hype and commentating the whole way, i picked Mario my 1st play and Dk the second, won both matches. Initial impressions for these two are they feel right at home with brawl yet much faster and combo capable. I think Sakurai nailed it when he said its between melee and brawl.
As for the smash fest itself, wonderful even, lots of street passing going on, casual convo, and of course smash bros hype once the game started. only issue, at least at this store in Ohio, the line was poorly controlled, and thus people attempted to skip ahead in line, but i guess that happens in ANY line. If you're going satuday 12- 5 GET THERE 2 HOURS EARLY! i showed up and 1 1/2 early and was already 20th in line and it quickly blew up. by 3:40 we already had 200 people in line.
But it's SO worth the experience!
Oh AND best of all they're giving away coupons for $30 off a 3ds, 2ds or Wii-u. So that plus the mario kart bundle with the free game!! sweet deal if you're waiting for a great deal!
