Super Smash Bros. Melee is a crossover fighting game released in 2001 for the Nintendo GameCube. Developed by HAL Laboratory, the game pits characters from all the major Nintendo franchises - including Super Mario, Legend of Zelda, and Pokemon, and others - against each other in combat. Melee enjoyed and still enjoys vast popularity; for the casual player, it serves as an excellent multiplayer party game, while more serious players engage in single player challenges or compete in tournaments; Melee is widely considered the best Super Smash Bros. title for competitive play.
