"Super Smash Bros" on Wii U is easily one of my favourite games of the past 10 years. So I'm super excited to be making this series on it right here! Leave a comment letting me know which character you'd like to see me play as next! :)

Super Smash Bros., known in Japan as Dairantō Smash Brothers, is a series of crossover fighting games published by Nintendo, featuring characters from established video games. The gameplay differs from traditional fighters for focusing on knocking opponents out of the stage instead of depleting life bars. The original Super Smash Bros., released in 1999 for the Nintendo 64, had a small budget and was originally a Japan-only release, but its domestic success led to a worldwide release. The series achieved even greater success with the release of Super Smash Bros. Melee, released in 2001 for the Nintendo GameCube, becoming the best-selling game on that system. The third instalment, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, was released in 2008 for the Wii. Although HAL Laboratory has been the developer of the first two titles, the third game was developed by a cooperation of a number of different developers. The fourth and fifth instalments. Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, were released in 2014 for the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, respectively. The 3DS instalment was the first series title to be released on a handheld platform.

The series features many characters from Nintendo's most popular franchises, like Mario, Fox, Link, Kirby, Samus Aran and Pikachu. The original Super Smash Bros. had 12 playable characters, and the roster count has risen to 26 characters in Melee, 39 in Brawl, and 51 in 3DS/Wii U. Some characters are able to transform into different forms that have different styles of play and sets of moves. The games also feature non-playable Nintendo characters, like Ridley and Petey Piranha. In Brawl, two third-party characters were added, Solid Snake and Sonic the Hedgehog. Two additional third-party characters, Mega Man and Pac-Man, appeared in 3DS and Wii U, while Solid Snake was removed from the line-up.

The series have been well received by critics, with much praise given to the multiplayer mode experience. All five games have been directed by Masahiro Sakurai.
