Could Super Smash Bros have worked in arcade centers in 1999?

The original Super Smash Bros game is considered to be a multiplayer fighting classic fir the N64 from 1999. Ever since its release the original Super Smash Bros game had managed to reach over 5.5 million copies in sales. In fact, Super Smash Bros became the fifth best selling game for the N64 game that Nintendo had made due to its overall popularity between ‘99-‘01. As a fighting game Super Smash Bros was one of the most innovative titles within that genre that Nintendo had ever made. The gameplay for Super Smash Bros looked and felt like something that would have been a huge attraction in arcade around the world in 1999. Super Smash Bros provided multiplayer gameplay that allowed up to four people and included the some of the most iconic Nintendo characters of all-time. The idea of having an arcade release Super Smash Bros in arcade centers prior to its N64 release sounds appealing.

But then again Super Smash Bros being a N64 console exclusive is one of the few factors that contributed to its success following its release. However, the fast paced fighting gameplay and non-stop action along with the chaotic atmosphere in Super Smash Bros made the game seem like one that would have worked in arcade during 1999. An arcade version of the original Super Smash Bros game may not have been as much of an attraction as its successor Super Smash Bros Brawl from ‘01; mainly because Smash Bros Brawl was considered to be more iconic in general. One of the main reasons why Super Smash Bros Brawl would not have worked in arcade centers in the early 00’s is due to how gaming was starting to change. By the early 00’s arcade centers were starting to decline in popularity and online gaming was began to surge in popularity around the mid 00’s. But there is no doubt that not having an arcade release of the original Smash Bros game was a missed opportunity by Nintendo to some extent.

Retro Gaming 00’s- Mortal Kombat: Armageddon (2006)

When most people think about the Moral Kombat series from back in the day they think of the arcade trilogy that was released between 1992-1995. While we did get Mortal Kombat IV in ’97 the game did not seem as popular as the three preceded games within the set and felt less popular than Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance from 2002. In fact, when it comes down to memorable MK games from the 00’s Deadly Alliance was one of the few games that stood out along with Mortal Kombat Armageddon from 2006. The intro for Mortal Kombat Armageddon alone was something that would arise the interest of those who have been fans of the MK series since ’92. As far as the roster for Mortal Kombat Armageddon is concerned there were over 60 different characters within the game from just about every installment within the MK series prior to ’06. Similar to Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance players had more than one fighting style in which a majority of characters could battle each other using weapons. As far as new in-game mechanics are concerned Mortal Kombat: Armageddon was the first game within the MK series that allowed players to create their own fatality.

Also, Mortal Kombat: Armageddon had included story-like gameplay through Konquest Mode where players got to control Taven who was the main protagonist while his brother Daegon was the main villain. Players had to use Taven in order to put a stop to his brother diabolical plans as he aligned himself with other high profile villains within the series such as the Black Dragon Clan & Shinnok who was the main antagonist in Mortal Kombat IV. Also, the Kreate-A-Fighter Mode was also a first within the MK series and was a pretty cool feature along with inclusion of mini-games. Despite, receiving a positive reception from critics and fans alike Mortal Kombat: Armageddon is a game that is often overlooked; the Mortal Kombat series was not as popular during 00’s as it was during the 90’s or even the 10’s decade. Either way, many people would agree that Mortal Kombat: Armageddon was a game that deserved to be remastered in high-definition. But then again, games such as Mortal Kombat IX & X were titles that ended up becoming more popular than Armageddon overall. While Mortal Kombat: Armageddon is considered to be an underrated classic from the 00’s the game will never be on the same level as the installments that we got during the 90’s or the 10’s decade as far as popularity is concerned.

As we have all heard Nintendo plans on shutting down the Miiverse for the Wii-U.  Whether or not shutting down the Miiverse is not much of a question considering the fact that Nintendo has discounted the production of the Wii-U altogether.  If anything the discontinuation of the Miiverse on the Wii-U would make people want to buy the Nintendo Switch even more.

In terms of sales some might argue that the game could have been much better than it was.  In terms of worldwide sales Xenoverse Chronicles X came close to selling over one million units worldwide for the Wii-U.  


If Xenoblade Chronicles X could sell to close to one million for the Wii U just imagine how it would do for the Nintendo Switch.  Recently, the idea of Xenoblade Chronicles X coming to the Nintendo Switch was discussed by the owner of Monolift Soft Tetsuya Takahashi.  While Monolift Soft is mainly focused on the release of Xenoblade Chronicles II they are also aware that many people did not have the chance to play Xenoblade Chronicles X since the Nintendo Wii U did not do too well in terms of overall sales.  If Xenoblade Chronicles X was released for the Nintendo Switch then there is the possibility that it could be overshadowed by the Xenoblade Chronicles II.  However, its still something that Monolift Soft should make s prior after Xenoblade Chronicles II is released for the Nintendo Switch.
