Classic Game Room presents a CGR Undertow review of Super Smash Bros. from HAL Laboratory and Nintendo for the Nintendo 64. Released in 1999, the game matched an unorthodox approach to fighting games with a brilliantly basic concept, pitting 12 of Nintendo's most adored characters against each other in a no-holds-barred battle royal. A stark contrast to traditional fighters, Super Smash Bros. boils complex button-combination combat down to a much simpler and more accessible mechanic, essentially relying on just two buttons to engage opponents. This video review features video gameplay footage of Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 64 and audio commentary from Classic Game Room's Derek.
