These days, it's quite common to hold Super Smash Bros. Melee in high regard, given its prominence in the competitive scene and popularity on the internet. But disregarding Super Smash Bros. Wii U is a mistake: it's a game absolutely worth your time, containing an enormous amount of content.

Seriously, now that every character has been released, take a look at that roster. There are characters fans never dreamed would appear in the same game together, let alone a Smash Bros. game.

That Super Mario, Sonic, Megaman and Pac-Man are all playable, is nothing short of incredible. And that's not factoring in other fighters like Ryu, Cloud, Shulk, Bayonetta... the list goes on.

On top of that, Smash 4 manages to strike a balance between the speed of Melee and the more accessible Smash Bros. Brawl. It may not have the skill ceiling of the idolised GameCube title, but for the vast majority of players it's absolutely the best version of the game ever released.
