Summary
Super Smash Bros is a very popular fighting game for the N64 that took the videogame world by storm in April of 1999. Developed by the team who brought us the Kirby games, Hal Laboratory, you fight as one of twelve classic Nintendo characters against other Nintendo mascots. You fight on stages that are based on the games of these mascots.
Gameplay
Smash Bros is very easy to pick up. It's a fighting game, but it doesn't have traditional fighting elements, well at least for that time in 1999. The combos that are excuted in traditional fighting games like Street Fighter, King of Fighters, and Mortal Kombat are quite difficult and require long button combinations. Smash Bros on the other hand, only needs a button and a tap on the analog stick to perform a special attack. The controls are great and very simple, and yet it remains highly addictive. This game is for eveyone. It's not intimidating to play like a complex 2D fighter. Children who aren't hardcore gamers can put their hands on a controller and actually put up a fight. That is how simple the controls are.
