Super Smash Wii U’s online modes offer lots of match types to play with, from tense 1-on-1 showdowns without items, to 2v2 faceoffs in Team Smash, with up to two fighters playing from the same console. Just like in Mario Kart 8, getting friends together can be a little bit of a hassle involving text messages because Nintendo’s system doesn’t allow for notifications. But once you’re all set up, you can launch private matches with friends and unleash characters with customized movesets, or watch other players’ strategies through handy replay and spectator modes. Sadly, eight-player Smash doesn’t make the cut online, but four players is more than enough for a good brawl.
