A brief history of the Smash series.

      Back in 1999, Nintendo made Super Smash bros, a budget title that would feature 12 of Nintendo's all-stars in an all out battle against each other. This game was only released in Japan at first, but due to its huge success, Nintendo released it worldwide. Since the game was such a success, Nintendo decided to work on a new title for its upcoming console, the Nintendo Gamecube. This game, known as Super Smash Brothers: Melee, would be released in 2001 as a launch title for the Gamecube and, like its predecessor, had huge success. Super Smash Brothers Melee ended up being the most selling gamecube game, selling over 7 million copies.
      After 7 years, Nintendo finally released its final game in the series, Super Smash Brothers Brawl. This game would include playable characters from series outside of Nintendo, such as Solid Snake from the Metal Gear Solid Series, and Sonic from the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Unlike the other 2 games though, Brawl was pushed back many times since developers needed to finish it and didnt think it was ready. To coupe with this though, Sakurai Masahiro, the man behind the project,would update The offical site every weekday with new information about the game until its release.
