"A series full of cute childhood nostalgia that you can pound the living sh*t out of." ~ Honest Game Trailers - Super Smash Bros.
Script []
From the company [Nintendo] behind the Wii and the other Wii [Wii U], comes a series full of cute childhood nostalgia that you can pound the living sh*t out of.
Super Smash Bros.
Prepare for the franchise that's either the most precise fighting game of all time, or a mindless button masher that an angry chimp with stump hands could play. Or both? Duke it out in the ultimate party-game franchise. There's the one you played in diapers [Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 64], the one you suck at [Super Smash Bros. Melee] - No, trust me, you do! - The one everyone hates for not being Melee [Super Smash Bros. Brawl], and the one... I'm still... playing... as we... speak [Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]. [Plays as Robin while fighting Dr. Mario, Luigi, and Diddy Kong on Bridge of Eldin]. Yes! Right, the trailer! [Clears throat].
Select your character from an ever-expanding roster that began as a Nintendo hall of fame, then grew to include third-party stars and now showcases the absolute bottom of the barrel. Raise your hand if you knew who Shulk was before Smash. Congratulations, you are now Japanese. Test your skills at dozens of creative and dynamic arenas before picking Corneria. Or throw skill out the window by turning on items where you'll lose to bunch of wacky random bull**** like this [Mario kills Luigi with the super scope], or this [Mario hits a bumper], or this [Draggoon kills King Dedede], this [Mario kills Donkey Kong with home-run bat], or this [Fox hits Jigglypuff with golden hammer], or the entire premise of Brawl [Smash Ball]. It's like they were trying to make that one unfair! Ugh!
Enjoy the best multiplayer experience since flip-cup where you can beat your friends and ruin your friendships at the same time with moves like taunting, pausing, stealing lives, messing with the announcer, or picking Meta Knight. So smash-it-up in some of Nintendo's most original titles that may feature the same, tired old characters and settings, but is the only chance you'll ever have to make Yoshi poop Samus off a cliff!

Reception[]
Honest Game Trailers - Super Smash Bros. has a 97.9% approval rating from YouTube viewers. Alex Fitzpatrick of Time called the video "hilarious." Patricia Hernandez of Kotaku also called the video "hilarious" and praised it for highlighting "how silly the game is." Ron Duwell of Techno Buffalo wrote that "As always, deep down inside, you can tell that the reviewer likes the game he is playing, knowing how little skill it takes to win once items are turned on, but he takes the time to poke fun at the other games in the series too." However, Duwell also conceded the video was "not the show's best entry." Owen Hibbert of Entertainment Buddha observed that "No one likes to talk negatively about their favorite games, but these honest trailers help us to realize the real imperfections."
