For those times when you don't want to worry about landing well-timed cross-ups, reversals and cancels (there's a lot of fighting game terminology), Super Smash Bros. is the fighting game that's there to help you unwind after an intense session of 1v1 fisticuffs.

Nintendo's titanic arena brawler isn't for simpletons, it just opts to add depth in other areas besides intricate combat mechanics that better suit its modus operandi.

Even since its humble beginnings on the N64, Smash has always been about giving Ninty fans what they want - a single haven where all of its creations come together to beat the snot out of each other without requiring that you play a game of finger Twister in order to win.

Item pickups, unlockables and local/online multiplayer are where Smash's longevity lies. It's a digital theme park for all ages where no two matches are ever the same.
