Teens Look at Original N64 Super Smash Bros!

Seriously, the N64 was not that long ago. I mean it's old, I understand. But it was 1996 - 2003. It first released 18 years ago. That's old. But it was still on the market two years into the Windows XP era. Only eleven years ago you could still buy them new and games were still coming out. For a system that young, any kind who is sixteen should know it as a major game console from when they were young. And it would have lingered on in homes for many more years.
I remember game systems that were out when I was five. It's crazy to think that a major video game platform from when I was five would be unknown to me. I can't imagine how that could happen.
Especially one of the caliber of the N64.

In my hey day with that game, I would have nailed them all
My favourites were Yoshi, Pikachu and Ness
My favourite punching bag was JigglypuffI must have clocked a few hundred hours on that game.

The most disappointing thing about that video was the lack of special moves. Still good though.
Instant rivalry, just add Super Smash Bros.

I'm Link, sometimes Samus, and Captain Falcon is okay, but I preferred Ganadorf on Melee. He wasn't quite as fast, which made him easier to control. Same moves, but stronger. On Melee, I OWNED with Roy, although I could use Marth pretty well too.

I'm talking about the original & greatest version. Not to mention the only version that I owned. The glorious Nintendo 64.
The Game Cube was kinda cool but didn't ever have the same appeal as the N64./threadjack

See, I still think Melee is the greatest version. Brawl isn't bad, and I haven't played the newest version, but the original, while great, was limited in the scope of things you could do. Melee had all the same characters, and more.

Agreed. Melee was the much better version both in game play and additional features.
Also Kirby ftw.

True, but in a 4 person FFA I generally played the troll and denied edges to the rest of the players. Also the ability to capture and spit out opponents over the edge was fantastic. He was so slow and unusable by most people that they never gave him a second thought when it came to an actual game.

His ability to turn into an undefeatable brick and drop quick is a great way I've found to KO people.

Ness and Pikachu were good characters all the way back to the original. They are among the harder characters to use though. But Ness has the home run bat on him at all times...
-
Ness is the only one I'd play since I'm a huge Earthbound fan.

Have you played SSB? He's good, but it takes more work to just get functional with Ness than any other character. He's insanely hard to use!
-
Just saying...

Don't think so. I played one on the N64 and one on the GC. Didn't enjoy the SS series at all.

You are one of a few. That is the classic game to play together as a group, especially when your parents don't let you play FPS...

It's okay to fight from the third person but not from the first? That's a bizarre rule.

No, it's not okay to simulate real war fighting with gore but cartoony fighting with no gore is fine. It has nothing to do with perspective of the camera...

FPS doesn't mean that, it just means the perspective. There are cartoony FPS. We used to play the South Park FPS on the N64, it was awesome and totally cartoon and no gore... you killed each other with chickens and nerf guns and fart blasts.
