Over the past few years, Nintendo has been making leaps and bounds to recapture the hearts of older gamers. Through titles such as The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD and the returning of older and rarer titles to the eShop such as Earthbound, Nintendo may be trying to strike a chord with the hardcore audience who may have passed on the Wii U the first time around.
Continuing this hot streak, Nintendo just released the highly anticipated Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, providing yet another reason for gamers to join the Nintendo Treehouse. Well, TheFineBros — famous for their REACT series on Youtube — decided to have some fun with this, showcasing the big N's latest blockbuster to the harshest of critics: teenagers.
The video pits the six participating teens against one another in a 1v1 knockout tournament, with the top three facing off in the finale. With a mixture of seasoned veterans to brand new players, the clips can spark a chuckle in the slightest Nintendo fan.
This is not the first time the Fine Bros have showcased Nintendo related gaming to their viewers. Earlier this year, the brothers showcased Nintendo's first console, the NES, to another group of teenagers. More famously however, was the hilariously that was Kids React to Game Boy this summer.
Here's to more from the film-making duo, with hopes for more Nintendo related reactions to come.

Nice to see a few people who have played Smash before...
No knees 0/10.
That screenshot of the 4 teens is pretty creepy. Mostly because the second teen is staring directly at the camera(aka your soul).
Welp,here comes another barrage of comments towards teens who don't all know their video games.Anyway,it's good to see a Smash Bros. episode from Fine Bros.
This is more painful than the N64 one, because they were just falling and not doing anything. They should at least figure how to jump instead of just falling in every gap.
The only thing that's hard to watch in this one is their Smash Bros skills leave something to be desired. Other than that, STILL better than the reaction videos for Gameboy and NES.
I'm terrible at Smash, though I'm happy to know not as cringeworthingly so as these guys. It was a fun watch, except for the fact that few knew what they were doing
I knew exactly what was going to happen to poor Charizard the second it was picked. Flare Blitz SD for days.
This was hard to watch.
I facepalmed many times.
I like the highlights and the girl's hair.
... shrug
The sad part is that the only reason several of those people won any matches was because their opponents threw themselves off the stage multiple times.
This reminds me of kids at my school. Everyone talks big, but only about five of us know what the heck we're doing... out of the entire school... /facepalm/
Man, you guys are so critical of other people sometimes. Not all of them are good at games but I bet there's something these kids are good at that I'm terrible at. And so what if they suck? At least they had fun.
I enjoyed the cringiness until the very last second when one of them asked to play COD...
And this just proves how much Charizard sucks.
No Maisie Williams? Whatever.

I, for one, liked the video and was great that they got to play one of the best Wii U games ever. You people need to lighten up.
They seemed to have had a lot of fun which is all that matters
"Lets play COD I'm good at that!"
I feel bad for these people...
As a teen, my gaming experience hasn't been tainted by countless generic FPSs, mobile gaming, etc. Give me Zelda, not Call of Duty; Mario, not Angry Birds.
Reading from this comment section, I'm too scared to watch the video...
These videos are never entertaining. Skipping it.
hey guys, we can have this discussion without name-calling and insults, thanks. If what you want to do is be horrid to others, take it elsewhere, thanks! :3
I quite liked that Everhet was able to combo with ZSS...
It would have been better if they would have instructed them how to play first. A simple "jump", "attack", "special", and "don't fall off the level" would have went a long way. I'm not jumping on someone's skill level, they all had fun. I just wish they would have gave simple instructions first.
I absolutely cannot stand the "kids/teens react" videos.. I mean, after watching the teens struggle with an NES I kinda lost faith in humanity
Also watching children not able to figure out how to put a Gameboy cartridge into the Gameboy was hard to watch..
This is why I always explain the controls in advance to someone who has never played a certain game before...and then give out an internal scream of frustration when he/she later admits that he/she wasn't paying attention to a certain part of my explanation.
Still, that was a tough break with the golden hammer at the end there, a self destruct to which many other quality players would've also fallen victim.
I always think these videos are fun.
One of the kids is pretty damn good.
