Game Overview/Synopsis
Smash Bros is a fighting game series which features a host of different characters from various Nintendo games.
While the games feature a single-play mode and a multi-player mode for several players, esports matches are typically one versus one.
Unlike other fighting games, the levels are sprawling environments, which can sometimes interact with the characters in different ways.
There are currently two major Smash Bros games that are played competitively – Super Smash Bros Melee (a Gamecube game launched in 2001) and Super Smash Bros for Wii U (launched in September 2014, also available on the 3DS handheld console). A new title for Switch – Smash Bros Ultimate – launched in late 2018.
Smash Bros has become an unlikely competitive esports game over the years, with a dedicated playerbase and Nintendo getting to grips with the scene. It’s expected that Nintendo will more closely embrace competitive gaming going forwards.
