Best N64 Fighting Game

5 Rating: 5, Useful: 2 / 4

Super Smash Brothers is the best N64 fighting game. The 4-player battle mode is the best, you can have teamed battles, or free-for-alls. It also has 8 popular Nintendo characters, plus 4 hidden characters. Each character has their own board and there is a hidden board too. The graphics and sound are good. The only bad thing is it slows down in 4-player mode because of the limited RAM on N64.

It kept ME laughing!

My friends and I love Super Smash Bros.! We had a Nintendo party and I brought this game over to my friends house. They played it nonstop for 3 HOURS! We had a lot of fun having incredibly stupid contests and multiplayer tournaments. I'll admit, it get's boring after a while with only one player, but with two or more you can go on forever! The characters are great, and sometimes the idea of Mario and Pikachu squaring off is so funny I play just to see it! It's a great fighting game too, because the characters jump really high and do flips and have tons of moves. I used to kind of stink at this game, but with practice any body can master it! I think Kirby is the best character.^-^

this game is the best game on earth!

This game has really disappointed me. I've heard from so many people about how cool this is...so I got it. I got tired of it in about 3 hours! And normally I don't get tired of games until after three MONTHS! And as if that's not bad enough... they put annoying and disgusting little Pokemon characters in the game. (The are also the worst, die in one hit) Donkey Kong 64 is so much better. I suggest you get that instead.

The least amount of replay value in an N64 game ever

I just have to say one thing first: There clearly are not enough buttons on the N64 controller to make a decent variety of moves. Instead, in this game, there are about nine moves, most of them useless because they do so little damage. This alone makes this game so incredibly boring after two hours that I have to wonder what the creators were thinking when they made this game. Even multiplayer mode loses its appeal pretty quickly, because of the limited amount of moves. There are also a few too many items, and it really makes it less fair that you can use a big baseball bat or a lightsaber or a beamgun to help you win. Also, considering that the gameplay wasn't good enough, the fighting environment takes a new approach at trying to add lots of detail and affecting play, but most of the battle grounds are far too plain for what it is trying to attempt. But I will say that the game has incredible graphics, each character and scene developed beautifully. I also like that in practice mode, you can change the speed of the characters movement so it seems like slow motion. You can make the characters go at normal speed, or one-fourth of it, making for a great amount of Matrix-like suspense. The two challenge rounds are also a challenge, maybe too great a challenge, especially with characters like Yoshi, who don't get a jumping boost, but an egg to throw. The bottom line is, this game is simply a rental, because that is about the amount of time it will take you to get sick of this game. If there were more buttons on the N64 controller, and the game had more play modes, this game could have been pulled off very nicely, but for now, it's just a short rental.

this game rocks

super smash bros is an incredible game. the graphics are nice and simple the controls are great. this game may not be the best n64 game but it's definitly in the top 10. you can chose all your favorite nintendo characters and they all have unique moves. you start of with 8 characters but when you accomplish certain things you get new characters like luigi and captain falcon. super smash bros appeals to any age(i'm 14 and this is one of my favorite games).there are a good selection of stages with a lot of variety.

The object of the game is not to kill the other person but to knok him of the stage far enouph that he won't be able to jump back to the stage.

the game has 5 dificulty levels: very easy, easy, normal, hard and very hard. which makes the game more chalenging as you get better.

there are also 24 mimi games or bonus stages you can play without having to play a i player game. each character has 2 different bonus stages.

the part where the game really eccels is the multi player mode which is so incredibly fun. there is no game that equls super smash brothers as a multiplayer game.

overall this is a great game and a must in every n64 game librarie

Awesome game for N64!

Wow! This game is so cool! A fighting game with 12 great nintendo characters! They are ... Starfox(my fave),Mario, Donkey Kong,Yoshi, Samus,Pikachu,Kirby, and Link. And don't forget the 4 other characters that you have to unlock! They are Jigglypuff, Luigi, Captain Falcon, and Ness. With Fighting games, you usually think that there is going to be blood and gore and stuff, but that's not the case here.This game can be played by all ages.It basically just has cartoon violence in it, nothing major.The characters have different attacks and can use all sorts of items. It has great replay value and can be played with up to 4 people.While it may take a while to master, this game is great and is reccomended to anyone. Also if you liked this, then you'll really like Super Smash Bros. Melee for GCN. Trust me.

Why can't we be friends?

I convinced my cousin to rent this game back when it first came out because we were crazy about pokemon and I loved the commercial for it.

When we first played it, it was hard. The controls were hard and there were too many moves to remember. But once you get around the learning curve, which only took a day or 2, the game is a great ride.

The thing about the game is that it has everybody's favorite Nintendo characters in one game. It doesn't even skip on the moves. You can throw Link's boomerang, Samus Aran's morphing ball bombs, Mario's fireballs, Jigglypuff's sing, and many other characters moves. The graphics for the game were excellent at the time and still look better than any N64 game except Mario 64.

Not only do you have every characters special moves is that almost everybody has their own level and music from their game. You can fight on a Pokemon Center, the Great Fox, Brinstar Depths, or in Dreamland to name a few levels. The only characters that don't have their own level or share one with another character are Ness, Captain Falcon, Jigglypuff, and Luigi. It also has weapons from each characters game. The Bo-ombs, Ray Guns, Poke Balls, Hammers, and others. If you don't like items then you can turn them off which is another cool feature.

Another thing about the game is that you have to unlock half of it. You have to beat the game with everyone which makes you appreciate each character's strength and weaknesses. Yoshi doesn't have a triple jump so you have to play to that weakness while Kirby has about 7 jumps which a strength. You have to learn to take advantage of your enemies weaknesses. If you see Samus charging up be ready to reflect it back with Fox.

The best thing about this game is that you have to unlock half the things yourself. You have to unlock characters and levels. It is fun, especially since the single-player is great fun.

What do you do after you unlock everything? Play multiplayer mode of course which is the best part of the game. You and up to 3 friends or AI duke it out in a free-for-all. Don't like playing by yourself, you can set it to teams with up to 3 teams(red, green, or blue) and fight that way. You can play by lives or by a time limit. You'll never get tired of this game and be popping it in every so often for years to come.

Fun, Strategic, and Fast

This is the best fighting game I've ever played and best for multiple players. There are 8 regular characters plus 4 secret ones, each with over a dozen different moves. There are 8 regular battle arenas (themed after the 8 characters) and 1 secret one. Starting with three basic moves and playing with another novice, you can master all of the characters and all of their moves. This game is unfortunately rigidly divided by skill, and good players will consistently beat worse ones. I recommend this for everyone, especially those who enjoy games that require quick descisions.

Great!
