Memory Lane: Super Smash Bros. [GamingUnion.net]

GamingUnion.net writes: "The original Super Smash Bros. was a seminal title on the Nintendo 64, a deviously clever idea from Masahiro Sakurai: bring all of Nintendo's staple franchises and characters together in one game, and make them fight each other. Some would say Super Smash Bros.'s success inspired Nintendo to create increasing numbers of spin-offs and mash-ups, running some of their core franchises into the ground in the process. Fighting purists would argue it doesn't even belong in the genre. Ultimately, none of that matters to those of us who spent countless hours and wasted summers squeezing a shocking amount of depth from this one-of-a-kind title."
