Super Smash Bros. Brawl/Melee Screenshots Comparison

Super Smash Bros. Melee was never really a graphical powerhouse however it did manage to run at 480p at 60fps and feature some really advanced physics (for its time). With the extra grunt the Wii is pulling in the question is now if will we still be seeing 60fps with great physics? Or if that has been dumped for eye candy. Smash Bros. fans shouldn't take it lightly, 480p at 60fps plus widescreen should be a given for this title.

On topic:
===========

This game will be fun for those who enjoyed the first series, like I did on the 64. It still won't make me buy a wii for just one game, (that I wouldn't play all the time anyway) but it's certainly not going to stop kids, girls, and softcore guys from picking it up.

What's significant is that this is akin to comparing an XBox 1 game to the 360 or PS2 to PS3. Ridiculous when you really think about it, yet fans of the console will find it compelling. Plus, people forget that the human eye can only see 26FPS so the whole "fps" thing, while nice, is a little misleading on a whole.

However that aside its nice to see a significant difference in character detail, textures, etc. From the vids I have also seen a vast improvement in stage design.

And in regards to part of Shadow Flare's comment. Hey at first I thougt this game (N64 days) was crap. I thought the controls were lame (simply cause they were the same for every character). Then I tried it and had a load of fun. It was the most untraditional fighter I had ever played...and that was what I loved about it. It took the conventional way of the fighting game genre and brought it to a whole new level. Yes the controls are the same or evey character, but that allows you to be able to "pick & play" any character. This is Nintendo's whole philosophy...easy to play, hard to master. Anyone can pick this game up and play it, but its still is hard to master.

I thought I was good at Melee, then I saw vids on youtube of "pro" players and...wow I had no idea you could do what they do with the characters I thought I had mastered.

My advice is to at least try it. Thats the least you can do to a AAA title.

Yeah, there are the most noticeable differences between Fox/Old Fox and Zelda/Old Zelda. :)

nice musics

Starfox for the Wii please!

I think this game will totally own the Wii console market.

[sumfood4u]

Yes!

[The_Firestarter]

I think it's really funny how Kirby and Pikachu look almost exactly the same in both games. lmao Can't do much to visually enhance them, huh? Just better lighting and AA-filtering. Otherwise, you can't add better textures.

Fortunately, some characters look A LOT better in BRAWL. The Super Smash Brothers games were always loads of fun. :) BTW, why didn't they show Solid Snake!? He was in the first trailer. wtf?

[ChickeyCantor]

since when was Snake in other smash games?

[bootsielon]

Maybe they are CGI cut-scenes, or resolution enhanced pictures. I'll wait for the game to judge. Regardless, it's the same game again...

[ChickeyCantor]

SSB never had CGI.

Let me tell you, for all the games that have only caused murmurs over crowds, this is the one to truly watch for. Super Smash Brothers has become more than a cult classic, it is a hit. I like the refined textures, and as far as polygon counts go, this is one of the first games on the Wii, in my opinion, that is a clear step far beyond what was done on the Gamecube. Wii gamers truly have something to get really excited about.

[ChickeyCantor]

cant believe someone disagreed with you because what you say is true, smash bros is a hit and its play value lasts long for years.

the idiot who disagreed with you probably never played the game.

SSB brand it's not "GRAPHICS"... it's totally gameplay and multiplayer. But the new installment look expectacular on my opinion... and one of my wanted game this holiday along with an Wii.
