Technically, this is the second portable version of the franchise. But let's be honest: The 2014 3DS version was a watered-down experience. This is the real deal. I've been playing SSBU during in-between moments in my day, and it's everything I've ever wanted. On Saturday, I found myself waiting at an art gallery for two hours, wishing I'd brought my Switch the whole time. On Sunday, an hour-long train ride to Queens felt like nothing while I was playing through SSBU's new adventure mode. Even at dance practice, I was able to play 1v1's with friends while stretching.

Hardcore players will likely want to invest in the retro GameCube controller that's being released alongside the game, but playing on the Joycons wasn't a terrible experience. It's missing that an important C-stick, but it's fine for short, casual matches, like playing a game with a friend when you're waiting for a flight.
