Super Smash Bros.-serien
Den første version af Super Smash Bros.-serien blev udgivet til Nintendo 64 i 1999. I de forskellige spil kan spillerne vælge enten at spille mod hinanden eller sammen dyste mod andre karakterer. Flere af spilverdenens mest ikoniske Player Two-karakterer er med i serien herunder fanfavoritterne som Luigi fra Super Mario Bros. og Ken fra Street Fighter. Oprindeligt var spillet produceret på et lille budget og var udelukkende tiltænkt det japanske marked. Efter at have solgt over en million eksemplarer i Japan fik Super Smash Bros. dog en verdensomspændende udgivelse.
Bag alle versioner af Super Smash Bros. står den japanske spildesigner Masahiro Sakurai. I de første udgivelser i Super Smash Bros.-serien kunne spillerne kun vælge fra karakterer fra Nintendos egne spil. Men det ændrede sig i 2008, da karakterer udenfor Nintendo universet blev introduceret i Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Mange crossover karakterer udenfor Nintentos eget karakterkartotek er sidenhen blevet tilføjet til Super Smash Bros.-serien.
Gennem årene har Super Smash Bros. solgt over 75 millioner spil verdenover. Det seneste spil Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (2018) vandt adskillige priser herunder en 'D.I.C.E. Award for Fighting Game of the Year' i 2019.
The first instalment of the Super Smash Bros. series was released for the Nintendo 64 in 1999. Across the games, players can either fight against one another, or compete together against non-player characters. Several of the gaming world’s most iconic second player characters feature in the series, including fan favourites like Luigi from Super Mario Bros., and Ken from Street Fighter. Originally, the game was produced on a small budget, and it was only intended for the Japanese market. However, after selling over a million copies in Japan, Super Smash Bros. was given a worldwide release.
Every instalment of the Super Smash Bros series has been directed by the Japanese game designer Masahiro Sakurai. In the first couple of entries for the Super Smash Bros. series, players could only choose from a cast of characters appearing in Nintendo titles. All that changed in 2008 when third-party characters were introduced in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Many crossover characters from beyond Nintendo’s vast catalogue have since been added to the Super Smash Bros. series. Over the years, Super Smash Bros. has sold over 75 million copies worldwide. The latest game, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (2018), has won multiple awards, including a D.I.C.E. Award for Fighting Game of the Year in 2019.
