Previously Take

An 83 average from its 475 true believers. A fighting game with party style — technical, flashy, and best played against a real human. Play it solo first. The multiplayer will still be there when you're done. Released in 1999 and aging better than most games from last year.

About this game

Super Smash Bros. is a crossover fighting video game between several different Nintendo franchises, and the first installment in the Super Smash Bros. series. Players must defeat their opponents multiple times in a fighting frenzy of items and power-ups. Super Smash Bros. is a departure from the general genre of fighting games: instead of depleting an opponent's life bar, the players seek to knock opposing characters off a stage. Each player has a damage total, represented by a percentage, which rises as the damage is taken.
