I still have this classic. And every year I and my good friends will get together to play this, and in conjunction with this, play Mario party, and all the classics on the N64. It's too fun, and I miss these glory days of simple, but all too fun games.

I was in fourth grade when this game was released and I remember everyone I knew being so hyped for it! Absolutely loved it! Countless multiplayer matches and the single player was pretty fun too!

loved it when it was releases, loved the commercials, loved the game play, still do, was overjoyed when it came out on wii shop channel

I remember when the commercials first played for this game on TV. I wanted it so bad. I remember getting it and playing it basically non-stop with my 2 sisters. Such good memories, if a much simpler time. Sure, being a kid isn't all perfect... but those moments huddled around the TV just enthralled with the game, I'd never give those up.

I believe this game was the very first game I ever had, and my god did I play it a helluvalot! I still have it to this day and love it! Excited about the new smash bros as well but that means buying a wii u.... Lol

I never had a N64 as a kid, but I remember my neighbors who were a bit older having it and I watched them play it and I couldn't believe how cool it was. I also played it in the early 2000's at the Nintendo center in NYC which was awesome. Sometimes I wish I was a little bit older to experience these things, but then again, growing up with the GameCube was amazing

I had so many sessions on this with my 4 flat mates who I was living with at the time. Some great memories of a fantastic game. Good to see the series continues to go on strong. It just shows that 6-buttons aren’t required to create depth in a fighting game. This has the classic Nintendo feel of easy to pick up, hard to master

My personal favorite game on the N64. This title epitomizes local multiplayer and I remember playing it for hours on end. Great video!

how do i remember this game? well i remember playing it every afternoon with my friends, sometimes with my little sister also. Free for all, team battle, this game was a blast!!! super fun!!! you never get tired of it and after having been playing it for hours you just want to play more!!! i remember the crowd shouting your name (pikachu was my char), that was awesome or when the crowd shouted 'AHHHHH' because you had saved your life by miracle. So many good memories. My favorite N64 multiplayer game, along with mario party 2 and turok 2.

Has to be one of my most played games of all time. I remember it getting middle-of-the-road reviews at the time and I always thought this was one of the best and most influential games of the generation. While it's slower and more simple than later entries, it still holds up as a party game.

This game is so damn expensive. Never drops below $40. It's hard for me to justify for such an old game but I still want it.

oh man the hours i played this with my brother and friends. Starfox was my main

Loved it as a kid. Spent hours and hours playing it with my friends.

I had no idea how to peg it and I never rented it until sometime in 2000 after I finally played it in a Sears. I didn't even know what it was but I knew I had to have it. When I finally realized it was SSB I went home grabbed my allowance and went straight to Blockbuster....

I played hours byymyself and friends and we loved it I still love it after all these years

I would have loved to see you delve into the competitive aspect of the game, I respect the angle you approached due to the nature of your channel... For me personally, this is one of my favorite games of all time. I played this on release (6 years old) till today and I did not figure out about competitive play until 2011. It is another world entirely. All that being said, I respect the hell out of you glenn. The N64, in retrospect, is one of the weirdest most offbeat consoles to cover and I think you did this game justice, contextually, to your channel.

I played this with some friends last weekend and will be doing the same this weekend, along with some mario party. I just noticed last weekend how much heavier this N64 cart is compared to many of the others that I own (I own 20+ N64 games). You mentioned the superior sound effects.

Ness all the way. I had this weird thing where I HAD to be 4th player every time I played this game.

Cool video!! I don't own this game but I borrowed a friend's copy of this game about a decade ago and it a joy to play. I eventually got Super Smash Bros Melee on the GameCube and Super Smash Bros Brawl on the Wii.

That’s an awesome set of games to get in one hit!

i have really cool memories playing this game. i remember being about 9 or 10 when i first tried it, my mom rented it from blockbuster at the time, and i just remember sitting on my couch, playing it and letting the 3d graphics excite me, because for some reason i thought 3d stuff was very cool back then, and this was in about 2007 i believe. after 5 years, i didn't play it again until i was 15 and had revisited some old friends from my past who i haven't seen since like third grade, which is when i moved somewhere else. all four of us just sat on a couch at this arcade and played this game, and i kicked everyone's asses lol. but not seeing them and playing this game brought twice the nostalgia so it was a dandy old time. and over the past few years since then i rarely go back to that arcade and play this game, but every time i do i have a blast, and personally i consider this game my top 5 in best nintendo 64 games definitely!

Loved the review, just wanted to note that high level tournament play on this game in fact really does depend on combos :) Also the japanese version has some different attack properties, & I don't have to remember much I still play this game weekly :) and its one of the few games from the n64 that still has a strong community and is still played competitively!

I had to go to summer camp at the local YMCA each year so my mom could work, but there was an N64 there and the 20 or so kids would trade off playing 4 player matches on Smash. Was a mess, but was so much fun. At the time I hated having to go each day. Now that I'm old and grey I'd go back in a heartbeat.

The first time I ever played this game I was about 10 years old. There was this kid I met and we played games in his basement. That’s when I was first introduced to n64 cause I never heard of it before and this was the first time I ever played super smash bros.. to simply put it.. I was amazed and in love with this game since then.

Great review, Glenn. I always like the simplicity of this game, I would name more reasons on why I think this game is so good, but you pretty much named them all ;)

nice review good depth and transition at the beginning, and i like this game but honestly play the gamecube version almost exclusively now with rare exception the wii version but never the n64...great for the time but limited compared to the newer additions to the series....but it was the one that started it all so gotta give props on that end

I still play the hell out of this game whenever I can (I play it either on my console or an emulator). Still one of my favorite games and I love the franchise in general.

The game that became so popular that it had sequels that were probably not intended, Super Smash Brothers. I never had this game but a friend of mine did. I remember the countless hours we spent playing this game and being so excited when we unlocked something (and being frustrated when we lost to each other). I also remember being the only one to beat Jigglypuff's break the target bonus game and by doing that I unlocked the Sound Test (which blew our minds). My character choice is Luigi.

Haha, as a nintendo 64 collector and a big smash bros. fan, I clicked on the video I second I saw it posted! I've never played on a nori-mini pad, seems interesting though. Yup! SSB4 coming closer and closer. I really do wish Nintendo some day will HD remake both melee and the original with the added feature of online play. Nice video like always though! :)

Never played this one but my lord do I enjoy the Gamecube version ! Cheers for this info on how the idea was born also Glenn :-)

I love Smash Bros.! I have fond moments of playing with family and friends! Heck I still break this game out every now and again. It may not be as robust as the modern installments but it did lay the foundation for them! I can't wait for the new ones on Wii U and 3DS!

I never owned this game back in the day, but did play it many times at my friend's house. Recently, I actually bought the game from that same exact friend for $5 which was given to him by his older brother before he died. So this game is special to me. My only gripe about it is that to jump, you have to either use the C buttons or hit up on the joystick which doesn't always feel comfortable.

Oh this game, me and my buddy would spent our entire day(literally) playing this. Those were the golden age of gaming.

Countless hours around the TV with friends ;) and later in life I did play on project 64 client. I got really good with Mario back then playing online

What flaws were you referring to?

It's probably my favorite in the series. Sometimes limitations are good. The other games, especially Brawl, are really unbalanced due to having too many characters to test and not much time since they were rushed in an attempt

Every time I'd unlock the extra characters and level they would erase and disappear. I wonder why.

Ah... Super Smash Bros. I remember getting this game on December 1999. Back then, I only wanted the game because there were Nintendo characters in it (I was and still am a nut about this). But it happened that the game is so much more than that! The same thing happened to me when I got Super Mario Kart on the SNES. It a huge Nintendo fest but also a landmark game. I'm looking for a Mini Hori Pad for this game (according to Smash competitive players, it makes the game even more interesting)!

What do you think of the upcoming Super Smash Bros. U and the weird inclusion of the Wii Fit Trainer?

So I played this in the community center growing up in the nineties. This game actually got the thugs and pushers off the streets and into the house to smash it out. Win keeps sticks and the other three rotate. It was truly nice

I got it for Christmas and it changed everything. We played it everyday for hours all 4 of us and onto the Gamecube version and also Project64 and Dolphin. We got crazy good at it definitely changed the fun we had on that console and we didn't play any other fighting games after that. We got around 8 people into it from total noobs to skillfull addicts ordering pizzas and just having a blast with friends. Being able to play as iconic Nintendo characters made it.

You should check out Smash Remix as well!

Yup played it many times

This is easily one of the top 5 games on the console in my opinion. I still play this and the other smash bros games every so often with a group of friends and am amazed how many people my age love this game. Super smash bros is the best fighting game of all time. I wish more fighting games would copy the smash bros system for doing moves with the different directions and A and B button presses rather than the memorized button combos that typical fighting games use. My best character has always been samus.

I didn't really get into Smash Bros. till Melee came out. I played the original of course but never really got into it. Still a lot of fun but I prefer the advancements that Melee and Brawl offer over it.

The only character I ever used was Captain Falcon because all you have to do is line up that one punch 👊 "show me your moves"

An absolute classic and one of the few 64 games that I have complete. I still remember the commercials that played when this was coming out and the song that played during it. I will say that while this game is good, I think that GC version pretty much outshines it in all aspects, so I never really bother playing this version. However, this is a fantastic game and was groundbreaking when it came out, and still is really.

yeah the GC is still the best in the series but this is the roots of the game which is why i love it :) obv I'm an n64 fanboy too :)

I still have it but I cannot unlock any of the hidden characters for longer than a play session. Something's wrong with the battery, I think. Everytime I unlock a character, it gets erased when I restart the console.

I played this game more than all other fighting games combined, excluding the sequels which I played about as much.

good memories

I found out about this game in 2004 or so. Lived in a small mobile park. My neighbor had a 64 and all the kids said. We are going to his house play smash bros. I was like wtf is that, I was like the 3rd grade. I went to his house, I remember seeing the cover and was tripping out because it looked like mario beating the shit out of pikachu. Anyways we will play for hours. Everyone wanted to be kirby....a couple years went by I got a 64. With no games. My neighbor lend me all the games he had which were like maybe 25. He actually gave them to me. Had all the games for a while and he told his grandpa that he wanted them back. So his grandpa came knocking and I gave all the games back except for smash bros and goldeneye. I actually gave back another copy of goldeneye that didnt work. He later moved and I played the shit out of smash bros 64 all summer. Love that game.

I wish I still had a copy, they go for $60 used on eBay or Amazon.

The Nintendo 64 didn't have enough 'fighting' games, but who cares about the fighting games, when we got many classic wrestling games for the system. Much better then the standard fighting game, in my opinion.

I originally bought the Japan version long before this was announced for the US after reading about it in a magazine. I quickly recognized how brilliant the concept was to a tiring fighting game market (even growing up on MK and Street Fighter) and how much I gained new favoritism for Capt. Falcon and Fox. I also recall how disappointed I was when I finally saw the US version's release and NOA's odd decision to mockingly remove the awesome sharp, smack-ish SE of the original Japan version. No idea why the US one fetches for so much more... this is where it all began!

Meh... never ever considered Smash Bros (any) to be a 'fighting game'. They're their own genre really. More like 'Party Brawler' or similar. They're good at what they do, but definitely do NOT scratch the itch of wanting to play an actual fighting game. For that, Killer Instinct Gold is the best fighter on the N64 with Mace & Fighters Destiny up there too.
