VGChartz - Analyzing the impact of Super Smash Bros. Brawl's launch on Wii's hardware sales. Super Smash Bros. Brawl was the most eagerly anticipated Wii game before its release, with hype for the title being built with official daily updates from Nintendo for over a year. When the game launched it accumulated a massive worldwide first week total of 2.7 million, making it the biggest opening week ever for a Nintendo title on a home console. In addition to selling a massive amount by itself, Wii hardware sales also increased by 53% during the week of release. In the Americas the Wii sold 93,000 more consoles than the previous week, both Japan and Europe also experienced hardware boosts with the release of Super Smash Bros. but not near as large. So can the large increase in Wii hardware sales seen the week Super Smash Bros. released be attributed to people buying the Wii to play the game, or is there another explanation for the increase in sales?
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.
Fighting games and music have a long and storied history together. Here are five of the best fighting game stage themes throughout video game history.
Tekken Tag Tournament 1 Arcade OST - Nina Williams
Street Fighter 2 - Ken stage, Ryu Stage, Vega (Claw), and Guile
Street Fighter Alpha 3 - Karin theme
Tekken 3 Arcade OST - Hidden Characters Theme
Super Street Fighter 2 - Fei Long CPS1 version (found on Hyper SF2 A.E.)
Tekken 2 Arcade OST - Kazuya and Devil theme
Marvel vs Capcom 1 - Strider Theme, Ryu, and Roll
Should be some tunes from the first Mortal Kombat in any list tbh.
I really like the use of Mozart’s Dies Irae in Wolfgang Krausers stage in Fatal Fury 2.
