Is that smash really that good ?
Like if you should have only 1 game that would be it ?
it is by far one of the best party games around. mario kart and party are great too, but they're way slower if you have more than 4 people and you're switching between people. i mean, if you're throwing a party at your place? everyone loves smash, even those that never play video games. and 8 player local play? has no equal as far as I'm concerned. and this one has a built-in tournament so no need for pen and paper XD.

but if it's just you by yourself, there are definitely better choices

I personally think that smash bros ultimate is a great game. . . but i got boring after smashing those gamecubeController buttons for 5hours. for fast rounds and stuff its great fun... but for long gaming periods it is just not enough for me. sad i know ^^ octopath traveler has my vote.

Have you tried playing against someone else yet? Or the four players mode?

I had no idea. Tells you how much I need to play the original game
To be fair, I think the digital version might be DLC while the physical version is stand-alone.

its [...] smashbros for the switch, [...] not the game of the year for me
I hear what you're saying, but I don't understand. That's an oxymoron if I've ever heard one.

No Diablo 3?
I don't think games from 2012 are eligible for 2018's game of the year.

Smash got released today though, so it may get a lot of votes due to hype alone too. Or by people... finding the game early... ;P
I have no idea what I'll vote for yet, there are so many good games, but then again I haven't played all of them.
People already ready know the game since it’s a port. So not just hype alone. Just more content.

Your opinion, not mine. I do think it is overated since it is basically the same game each time with extra characters. Not saying it's bad but since it just a copy paste job i don't think it should deserve all the praise it gets. Again, just my opinion.
So you think people should rate it lower and not enjoy the game as much since you think it’s overrated? You want them to change their opinion?

You don’t think highly of it, fine. But I don’t get the overrated comment, and criticizing people for thinking great things about it and having fun with it.

Did i state anywhere that people should change their vote ? I just gave my opinion hence why i said lastly it's just my opinion. Where was i criticizing peoples' opinion then ? I gave out my opinion, somebody quoted me on that and i said why i think the way i do about the game. I don't see that as criticizing someone's opinion

Despite the flaws I liked Brawl Subspace Emisary and was disappointed the next game after it didn't have something like it.
