"Nearly nineteen years ago Nintendo released the seminal game, Super Smash Brothers for the Nintendo 64. In addition to the three sequels that followed, there has been a slew of clones that try to live up to Nintendo’s flagship party brawler. Although these clones aren’t as popular in the mainstream, they all bring a uniqueness and special charm to the Smash formula that has spawned a group of niche players. The games, of course, being: Rivals of Aether, Brawlout, Brawlhalla, and PlayStation All-stars Battle Royale. (although, PS All-stars’ fanbase has since dwindled) There are certainly more, but these all have unique mechanics that stand out from each other and the original." -- PlayStation Enthusiast
NetherRealm confirms its Mortal Kombat franchise has sold over 80 million copies in the last 30 years, and here's how it competes against other fighters.
Don't care what anyone says, Smash isn't a traditional fighting game. May as well call Powerstone and Playstation All Stars fighting games. They're more of an arena fighter /party game.
Including Smash Bros in a list of fighting games, is like including GTA in Racing games.
While Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale didn't get the best review, there are still some aspects of the game that deserve some credit.
Though PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale is a bit of a cult classic, it could have been a big hit if it launched in 2022 instead of 2012.
It wouldn't have mattered, Sony would've rushed it out and left it to die. More so now than before with their focus now being on SP narrative driven AAA games.
Oh, but somehow Smash Bros. 64 made it work?
It just couldn’t compete with Smash Bros. and it wasn’t a free-to-play game like Multiversus.
I think it released at the right time. It's just after the success of Smash and Multiversus, it's finally time for a sequel.
I'd be all in on a remake or remaster of the original. I enjoyed it because I didn't sit there and compare every aspect to SSB. I just enjoyed it as it was.
Sony should make part 2 and dump a good amount of money on it. Scrap super only kills and it's bound to succeed.
Smash Bros is more of less a clone of the Outfoxies anyway
I liked All-Stars on Vita. Having that on the go with P-4 and Gravity Rush really really made the Vita worth it. Brawlout on Switch has been nice too.
All I can say is that I hope Sony is planning on a PS All Stars 2. So much potential for greatness in that sequel if it’s done right.
Um, it seems you have forgotten Kung Fu Panda: Showdown of Legendary Legends...
There are alot of gamers here that live up inside Nintendo's @$$ and they only come out to aid the defense force or troll. This is from another website "it doesn't matter if it has iconic characters or not, the fact remains Smash Bros. is not the first of it's kind. Even the whole crossover fighting concept didn't start with Smash Bros., as King of Fighters had that first too." Smash Brothers ISN'T ORIGINAL. Disagrees don't change facts or history.
