I didn't know what to expect coming in (I avoid trailers, but even though I saw 6's I still had zero idea of what it was about). A really colorful, detailed film set in a creative world. Fair warning: it will tug at your heart strings. This is unrelated, but it was very cool to walk into Best Buy and see a blown up character from the film greet me!

This is probably one of the best controllers ever made--behind the GameCube and 360 pads, of course. Though I have no scientific backing, I've heard the rubber on this is much stronger than that of the black controller and doesn't wear out as quickly.

The gameplay is the best it has ever been for Smash, and the eclectic mix of modes -- online, 8-player brawling, and a Mario Party-esque game board -- ensure many lost hours.

Smash Bros. for the 3DS is faster than Brawl, and smoother than Melee. The handheld's analog nub can be inaccurate at times, but not enough that it will deter you from jumping into an online match.
And those online matches are fantastic. Hardly any lag, unlike Brawl. Hopefully future updates add more options to the online mode with friends, but most people won't mind thanks to the plethora of single player and local multiplayer options. If online play is a deal breaker, you will be pleased at the ability to play with friends.
The only negative to take away from the experience is you will notice your analog nub start to become loose from hammering on it so much. I don't play to hard with it as I have a deft touch after years of Smash, but it is still starting to feel loose from the nearly 10 hours of time I've put in. That could be a major issue if you plan on playing a lot, and one that does have me slightly worried.
Anywho, this is the best iteration of the series (that may change when the Wii U version comes out), and all fans of the series need to pick it up. If you're on the fence about it or new to the series, you'll be able to jump right in at your own pace; it's not a punishing fighter.
