Super Smash Bros. - released in 1999 Probably one of the most successful franchises that has ever existed, Super Smash Bros. was, in a way, Nintendo's version of the Marvel Vs. Capcom series in that it's a clash of characters from different worlds (however the style of fighting is quite different.) Players were able to pit Mario against Link, or Donkey Kong against Pikachu. Super Smash Bros. came out of the left field, gamers were stoked (and for good reason!) Super Smash Bros. is also available on the Wii Virtual Console, and it was met with two sequels which improved on the formula, Super Smash Bros. Melee on the GameCube and Super Smash Bros. Brawl on the Wii.
