The demo is open to the public! It came out on Friday guys and gals, so in case you hadn't heard you can grab it now, totally free.
For those of you who don't know what smash brothers is..... wtf the fuck is wrong with you? These games are awesome! It's just a bunch of Nintendo characters violently beating the shit out of each other!
Now of course this is a demo, so not all of the content is avaliable, there are only 5 playable characters; Link, Mario, Megaman, Pikachu, and the villager (What the hell is he from?) only one stage, and the only game mode is a two minute kill fest, but this is a really solid demo and it makes me feel that the game is put together well and will certainly be worth the money.
The demo does allow you to play with your friends, provided your friends are nearby. So that's pretty cool, and it does show an online mode that would presumably allow you to play with anyone in the world, and one would hope inviting registered friends to a match is somehow worked into that.
There is also supposed to be some means of connecting it to the wii u and using the gameboy as a controller. Which I guess would be kinda neat to do once just to see it, but I feel like in general if I went to my friends house to play the wii u with him, I'd want a damn controller. Though I suppose if you didn't have a second controller (or third or whatever the required number is) then being able to use the DS and play with your buddy would be nice so you wouldn't have someone left out.
There is a limit of 30 times that you are allowed to launch the demo, but considering that the real game is out in October, I don't see too many people actually using up all of those before it hits shelves. And if you do use up all 30 plays, then I think the demo served it's purpose quite admirably.
My favorite character thus far is link, which is unsurprising, cause I used to love him in both melee and brawl and he's pretty much unchanged, which I can get behind. Fox will be in the full release which is cool cause I liked fox. Marth will be returning but sadly not his bigger, better brother Roy.
All things considered I'm definitely looking forward to smash brothers. If you're on the fence, grab the demo and give it a whirl, if you're already on board the demo will give you a little bit to play with while you wait, and even if you don't think you'd like it maybe give it a try anyway, after all it's free.
This doesn't get a rating, cause it's just the demo.
