Quick Play- Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 64

Here is a section that i want to try out and I'm going to call it Quick Play. What Quick Play will consist of will be games of the Fighting and Racing Genre. Quick Plays will not get a rating but will be a game that i generally do like.Quick Play games can be picked up and played with a few friends or alone. Something that can be played without the story and could be put down after a few rounds.Something like...


That's right I'm using a small session that i was able to get into with the original Super Smash Bros. Now here is what i thought.


Super Smash Bros. puts a very interesting twist on the fighting genre, because up to this point in gaming history most if not all of the fighting games consisted of warriors of some type that have mastered a certain fighting style and are thrown into a tournament of some type and they had to win it, or they were Fighters on a journey to find and defeat another fighter that they did not get along with for some reason.  

Smash Bros redefined the genre and did not give you a true story and instead just threw you into this world that made it appear that you were a toy and just simply being played with by a person with a rather impressive imagination. Aside from this you were also not a massive muscular man fighting with another. You were Nintendo characters! Characters that you don't expect to ever be in anything even remotely similar to this, but it works it is very hard to explain but it works. If i had the time and a few more people to play with i could easily lose 2-3 hours playing this game. Also yes the move sets maybe a little better in later installments but if you are able to remember the release of this game and the first time that you played it. Believe me it is completely worth the replay on nostalgia feel alone.

I would have to say that i love this game and i enjoyed the time that i was able to play it again,and it is certainly a game that could be quite a good time with other competitive people. It is definitely a game that can be picked up and played easily by anyone. For example after about a 2 minute conversation with my eight year old nephew he was able to complete the first 4 fights and figure out most of fox's break the target level in the 1P Mode. This game is fun and introducing it to a new generation was the highlight of the experience. Super Smash brothers is a definite must play if it is in your collection. I might have a biased opinion on this game so my rating is not going to be included on this one.
