Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "I’ve been known to hold some pretty controversial opinions about video games as some longtime Link-Cable readers will undoubtedly know, but I think this one takes the cake. I honestly believe that Super Smash Bros. Brawl is a better game than Melee. I know, crazy right? Brawl is often considered a dip in terms of quality and some even go as far as to call it the worst game in the series, but I have to disagree. Now before we get into my mad rantings I do want to point out that I’ve played TONS of Smash Bros. in my life. From the Nintendo 64 to the Wii U I estimate I’ve put about 5000 hours into the series, and all that time has only solidified in my mind, that Brawl is the better game when compared to Melee."
A mix of first-party and third-party GameCube games should be available on Nintendo Switch 2's app.
All of the Super Smash Bros. games are incredible, but which one stands as the mightiest of them all and has the best modes?
To me smash brows Melee is my all time favorite. I can't tell you how many hours I played that game between friends and family. When I was a kid, my parents couldn't afford a gaming console so I had to go somewhere that had an arcade like setup with the only difference being instead of arcade cabinets, they had big screen crt TV's and gaming consoles setup. I would go with my friends on special occasions after school or with my family on the weekends.
I would meet and make new friends at that place as we were all gamers and we also brought our game boys and would trade pokemon. I don't think those places exist these days but back then, it was easy to meet like-minded people and have fun for hours.
Well, I’ll add my extremely subjective ranking too. I won’t include the 3DS version as I don’t owned it. I did play it for a few minutes though.
5. Brawl.
4. N64 Smash
3. Ultimate
2. Wiiu Smash
1. Melee
Sakurai's views on cutscenes (and how quickly they'll be shared online) haven't really changed that much in 16 years.
It is only better when hacked and turned into Project M. Yes, the visuals and larger roster are great, but the tripping mechanic and overall slowness of it really kills it.
Either way, Smash 4 is best.
