The Evolution of Super Smash Bros.
With all the excitement surrounding Super Smash Bros. Switch, it's almost hard to believe the series is quickly approaching its 20th anniversary. What began as another Mario spin-off on N64 has grown into one of Nintendo's most beloved and popular franchises, as evidenced by the wild reaction fans had when the company unveiled the upcoming Switch installment.
Take a look back at the evolution of the Super Smash Bros. series, from its first game on N64 all the way through the most recent installments on Wii U and 3DS. While there have only been four proper installments in the series thus far, you can see just how dramatically it has changed over the course of the past 19 years, going from a simple, pick-up-and-play mascot fighter to a star-studded celebration of Nintendo's history.
