Super Smash Bros. (video game): Difference between revisions

'''Super Smash Bros.''' is the first entry in Nintendo's insanely popular series of Nintendo's hit [[Super Smash Bros.]] series of crossover platform fighting games, and made its humble beginnings on the [[Nintendo 64]] in 1999. Developed by HAL Laboratory with Masahiro Sakurai at the helm, it began life as a simplistic four player fighting game as a result of Nintendo wanting to cash in on the fighting game market. But due to knowing that it would be hard to stand out among genre giants like ''[[Street Fighter]]'', ''[[Tekken]]'', and ''[[King of Fighters]]'', Sakurai gave it a hell of a hook: the game would be star various Nintendo mascots, ranging from household names like [[Super Mario Bros.(franchise)|Mario]] and [[The Legend of Zelda|Link]] to relative unknowns like [[F-Zero|Captain Falcon]] and [[Earthbound|Ness]]. Nintendo didn't have high hopes for it, but it would prove to be a smash hit among the 64's install base, leading to the birth of a genre juggernaut.
