Super Smash Bros. Video Game Series Review

The Super Smash Bros. series is a series of Nintendo crossover party fighting video games and my personal favourite series.

They have had releases on the Nintendo 64, GameCube, Wii, 3DS, Wii U and are about to get a new one for the Switch. There have also been fan games and mods as well as a PlayStation knock-off.

The gameplay of the series is usually really well made and easy to learn while also being fun although some things such as techniques or character attacks are sometimes unbalanced.

The Super Smash Bros. series adds characters, stages and music from important and popular Nintendo series and even adds special guests from other companies.

The Nintendo 64 version adds characters Mario, Link, Pikachu among others, adding 12 game heroes with 4 of them being unlockable, Mario and Pokémon are the only series with 2 characters and the Mario series also has 2 stages. It polygonal graphics that look retro and nice to look at and the sound effects when a character is hit are nice to hear. The game starts the series off with a single player arcade-like mode where you fight a number of fighters in a certain order, the usual multiplayer fighting mode, a training mode and 2 mini-games.

The GameCube game Super Smash Bros. Melee adds loads of new characters and stages, with some villains joining the players, there is also a tournament mode, adventure mode and an events mode where you complete certain tasks. This game has strange controls but like always is fun and easy to play.

The Wii game Super Smash Bros. Brawl adds even more things including a full story mode with cutscenes and a plot as well as online play. The game is slower than the others and characters fall over for no reason but the music in this game is epic.

The 3DS and Wii U versions were released around the same time and have the same characters but have different stages and game modes, the 3DS version was useful for playing when not at home but the Wii U version was superior with most other things.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for the switch is coming out soon it is bringing back a lot of fan favourite things and adding loads off new fan favourite things. The Switch will also be portable as well.

The fan games for some reason often add none-video game related things but they are still fun, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale has differences in the way it plays which actually makes it less fun than smash bros but the idea was good.
