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.
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
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.

Sakurai's views on cutscenes (and how quickly they'll be shared online) haven't really changed that much in 16 years.
*shakes head*
i wasn't so much comparing the graphics, as i was thinking why would anyone want to play this? The graphics are alot better but dayum, lol what the hell is with that game
The graphics from Kingdom Hearts 2. They look nice.
Im sick of these stupid videos, theres like 3 for Killzone just today what next Killzne vs this or maybe madden no Metal Gear...wait! Killzone versus God!...and KILLZONE LOOKS BETTER AND GOD CREATED IT!!!OMG ROFL LOLLERSKATES XBOTSSSS!!!!.......Lame enough is enough
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. :)
