|  No surprises here, fans of the first Super Smash Bros. will be
thrilled with this installment of the series. Actually, any Nintendo fan will be happy to
see their old favorites again on the GameCube; just about everyone is back: Mario, Donkey
Kong, Link, Kirby, Yoshi and others. Also expect to see Poké Balls with Pokémon
favorites inside, like Charizard, Lugia, Entei and more. There are over a dozen all new
stages based on hit Nintendo games, and expect them to be more animated than the first
installment. The graphics are just incredible -- they no longer seem computer rendered,
just silky smooth, ultra fast animation. There are also a number of new game modes,
decision matches that judge how well you battle, a tournament mode that can handle up to
64 entrants, and new rule options to spice up normal play. Super Smash Bros: Melee
won’t be changing the way we play games or create a new video game star, but it will
be an awesome fighting game for the GameCube launch and be our first next-gen look at our
old Nintendo favorites.
