Super Smash Bros. Melee
Super Smash Bros. Melee is a 2001 crossover fighting video game develop by HAL Laboratory and publish by Nintendo for the GameCube. It is the second installment in the Super Smash Bros. series. It features characters from Nintendo video game franchises such as Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Star Fox and Pokémon, among others. The stages and gameplay modes reference or take designs from these franchises as well. Melee includes all playable characters from the first game and also adds characters from additional franchises such as Fire Emblem, of which no games had been release outside Japan at the time, in addition to new stages and gameplay modes. Like other games in the Smash Bros. series, Melee’s gameplay system offers an unorthodox approach to the fighting game genre, with a counter that measures damage with increasing percentages, representing the knockback the character will experience, rather than a depleting health bar seen in most fighting games.Description
Starting off with 14 characters (an additional 11 are waiting to be unlocked), the game has a pretty standard premise. Let Nintendo’s stars beat on each other until the timer runs out. However, a lot of emphasis is put on knocking opponents off ledges while avoiding the same fate. And in typical Nintendo manner, there are quite a few power-ups to assist you in the melee. But the actual combat isn’t as intricate as in other fighting games. However, the ultra-cartoony layout of the many, many arenas sometimes adds a strategic element not usually found in similar titles. Super Smash Bros. Melee’s strength lays in the mayhem created in four-player fights. And the camera does an excellent job of positioning itself so all combatants are constantly visible. Also, Melee sports some of the best visuals seen in a Nintendo product. All the characters are highly detailed, and the movements of each are smoothly infused with personality. Moreover, Donkey Kong lumbers and Princess Peach fights with grace. As the multiplayer mode is the key reason for this game’s existence. But the single-player mode is decidedly weak. Also the game features an adventure mode that plays somewhat like an old-school, side-scrolling Mario game. However, sadly, despite its good looks, its gameplay is rather uninspired. This game is clearly at its best when there are two or more players with controllers in their hands.Pros:
- Fantastic graphics and sound keep the action upbeat.
- Many new characters and other goodies to unlock.
Cons:
- Single-player experience is comparatively weak.
- Too cute for a few folks.
- Adventure mode is boring.
Arrived super early and it came with everything not one issue with the game or case ….
My copy had light scratches, but with a game this old, I’d be surprised if there was someone selling one in perfect condition. This is a great throwback to the time when I had a GameCube, I just recently bought a Wii because I missed the nostalgia and excitement of Super Smash Bros Melee and a few other games I also recently purchased (Star Wars:Rouge Squadron, Jedi Knight:Jedi Outcast 2, etc.) SSBM is from the dawn of perfect video games, where all the content came included in the game, and you had to unlock it through progress, instead of the latest paid DLC trend.
Nintendo takes 26 cute characters and pits them to the death on an arbitrary stage in the middle of the nowhere.It sounds like a silly idea, and it’s likely that the guy that pitched it may have been laughed at. But here we are 12 years later, and I know more people that play this game seriously than its successor.Great for parties. Great to pick up if you like technical games. Great to pick up if you like classic games.My last point is unarguable. This game is a masterpiece.
It’s a classic game and it is only on the Game Cube, and well worth it.
ðŸ‘
This is by far the best gamecube game there is, always good to have a working copy. :)
Thank you! Melee was perfect condition, works great. The case was too. Got it same day.
If you ever wanted to beat the living daylights out of Mario, Link, Ness, Fox McCloud, and all the other over-rated characters Nintendo refuses to shut-up about, this is your chance. Well, this and the other Smash Bros game for Nintendo 64. Then there’s that NES emulation ROM game floating around on the internet…This has to be one of the best fighting games on this system, if the announcer doesn’t bother you. For God’s sake, Nintendo, why can’t you just give people the option of turning voices off?!!!!!The graphics are amazing, the gameplay is releatively simple so you don’t have to learn a lot of button combinations, there is a great selection of characters with lots of unlockables, you can earn trophies of past and present Nintendo characters, and the mini-games … well … the mini-games kinda suck. At least they’re not essential to winning the game.You can play as Mario of course, along with Link, Luigi*, Samus, Princess “Peach Toadstool, Bowser, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Captain Falcon, Fox McCloud, Ness, the Ice Climbers, Kirby, Pikachu, and Zelda. Yes, Zelda is finally playable on a U.S. Nintendo system, and she can turn into Shiek when you pull down on the control stick and press the B button simultaniously. If you intend to buy this game and want to find out for yourself who else is unlockable, don’t read the very last paragraph in this review.Except for in one of the special matches that don’t earn you anything, defeating your opponents is not about draining their ener.
1 BILLION STARS!!!!!!!!!!! BEST GAME EVER. Game in perfect condition with artwork and manuel.
Frankly, one of the best (and most addictive) video games I’ve ever played.If you don’t know (or didn’t play the first Super Smash Brothers on the N64), this is a fast-paced cartoonish fighting game where you can control (and beat up) characters from Nintendo’s other games (such as Mario and Luigi, Link and Zelda, Kirby, Pikachu, Samus Aran, and lesser-known ones like the Ice Climbers). Its cute looks and deceptively simple controls (punch/kick, special move, jump, and block/throw) hide a surprisingly complex fighting game that will please players of any skill level. It’s probably too confusing and fast-paced for little kids, but I’d heartily recommend it for anyone above the age of 10 or so.There are three vastly improved single-player modes: straight fighting (much like the single-player from the first game), an “adventure” mode where you fight your way through various levels, and a series of fifty challenging “event” matches to test your skills. There’s also an endurance mode (fight up to 100 opponents in a row) and a highly entertaining home-run contest.Of course, the game is at its best with a group of people — it supports up to 4 players duking it out at once, which is an absolute blast. You can also play on teams, and include computer-controlled fighters of various difficulty levels. There are dozens of characters and stages to fight on, and almost every aspect of combat can be adjusted (such as how much damage your characters do, how fast the game runs, and whic.
