Super Smash Bros. Melee

From PAGE Ain't a Gaming Encyclopedia.

Super Smash Bros. Melee (Japanese: 大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズDX, Dairantou Smash Brothers Deluxe) is a fighting game released for the Nintendo GameCube, shortly after its launch in 2001. It is the sequel to 1999's Nintendo 64 fighter Super Smash Bros., and builds on that game's broad appeal and involved multiplayer mode, while improving overall quality and adding new features.

In keeping with Nintendo's strategy of emphasizing its back catalog, Super Smash Bros. Melee features a great deal of retro touches, evoking the "golden" 8-bit and 16-bit eras. It stars a large assortment of well-loved characters, including Mario, Link, Samus Aran, Pikachu, Yoshi, and Donkey Kong. Like its predecessor, Super Smash Bros. Melee is an easy-to-learn, hard-to-master game that, while being child-friendly, has a nostalgic charm and depth to adult gamers.
