The Most Ambitious Series in Gaming Started Today Over 2 Decades Ago

Released on April 26, 1999, for the Nintendo 64, Super Smash Bros. offered a fresh take on fighting games.

While it initially appeared to be a simple fighting game featuring beloved Nintendo characters, no one could have foreseen its lasting impact and how it would eventually unite some of gaming’s most iconic figures.
