Super Smash Bros. Brawl 2008

Is it still worth playing?

Nintendo's 2008 platform fighter for the Wii, directed by Masahiro Sakurai. Players knock opponents off the screen, with a damage percentage that rises up to 999 percent and higher percentages sending characters farther. Each character has four unique moves plus smash attacks, a Smash Ball grants a Final Smash, and items and Assist Trophies enter the fights. There are 39 playable characters, 25 at the start, and 41 stages, with four controller types, from the GameCube controller to the Wii Remote. Modes include All Star, Boss Battles and Events, up to four players locally, and a side scrolling adventure called The Subspace Emissary. A Stage Builder lets you make your own stages. It brought the first third party characters to the series, Solid Snake and Sonic. A damage percentage that decides who flies off, with four control schemes, still makes a match easy to start today.
