Super Smash Bros. Wii U reviews start trickling in – here’s some preliminary scores

By Stephany Nunneley

Super Smash Bros. Wii U releases soon, and some websites have gone live with review scores.

The list of scores below isn’t very large, as many sites are still waiting for the online component to go live. A few have already reviewed the single-player but are waiting to apply a score – others are just waiting until Friday for the full thing.

Still, the links below should get you started. I went ahead and posted links to the “in progress” reviews for your reference.

As always, all scores are based on 10 being the highest unless noted.

Super Smash Bros. Wii U arrives in North America this Friday, November 21 and on November 28 in Europe.
