The amount of detail that has been shoved onto all of the game’s character models is fantastic – some of them it would be hard to differentiate from FMV models.

An exotic cocktail of entertainment for Nintendo fans, who will slurp up every last drop, and if you want to talk about longevity, I’ve had this game on import for about six months and I still haven’t finished it.

Everyone that owned a Nintendo 64 must have had the hottest multiplayer game ever, Super Smash Bros. It was a multiplayer game that starred most of the Nintendo franchise characters that would battle each other in environments from their respective games.

In 1999, Nintendo released a game on their Nintendo 64 system that, some would say, both saved the machine and brought along a new approach to the fighting genre. That game was Super Smash Brothers, a crazy 1-4 player smackfest starring many of

Honestly, what hasn’t been said about Super Smash Bros Melee? Not much. This game has been the hot topic game of the GameCube ever since it was announced at E3 2001. The first Super Smash Bros (on the N64) title was a breakaway hit that captured the

Super Smash Bros. Melee (SSBM) is at first glance often mistaken for the Super Smash Bros for N64, but once you peel back that upper layer, there really is a whole new world waiting underneath. Just wait and see...
There is an extremely high amount of

While it surely won't appeal to the Tekken heads, it's a great fit for those who swear by Samus and die by Donkey Kong.

When Super Smash Bros. first arrived a lot of us were skeptical. Could a fighting game really be any fun with only cute Nintendo characters to duke it out with? Many people originally thought it was doubtful and the cartoony look of the game had even

With 25 characters and 29 stages, and only half of that available at start, you have a fighting game you’ll be spending lots of time in. With almost 300 trophies available, you’ll be spending lots of time trying to gather all of them as well.

The original Super Smash Bros. was a runaway hit on the Nintendo 64. Great graphics, sound and game play mixed in with a chance to beat Luigi to a pulp with Mario is a premise that could not lose. That¹s why Nintendo was quick to announce at last

While the game might not be the greatest single player adventure we’ve seen this year, it very well may be the best multi-player one.

It's a button-masher in the best sense of the term, and even people not normally interested in fighting games should check it out. While its raison d’être is multiplayer, soloists can’t ask much more.

We?ve all dreamed of it coming true but could only imagine it. All gamers have wondered what would occur if characters from different games crossed paths and battled each other. Only one game has made this actually happen and it became an instant

There is no doubt about it, the Nintendo 64 suffered from lack of fighting genre games and the ones that were released were less than stellar hits; they had clunky animations, old and tired gameplay, bland characters and unimpressive graphics. In the
