Talk:Super Smash Bros. (video game)

From Dolls to Trophies?

In SSBM and B, all the characters come to life from trophication by being touched, in SSB however, characters come to life from plush-like dolls, as shown in the opening sequence and the 'Continue?' screen. Why the change? Also, what ever happened to the characters turning in motion at the bottom screen? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.211.217.224 (talk) 07:40, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Image

I feel that the image should be replaced with one that shows off the game's four-player mode. - New Age Retro Hippie (talk) (contributions) 18:00, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

I'm cool with this if a good image is found. TheStickMan^[✆Talk] 01:49, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

I can't find one with Ness in it though :( - New Age Retro Hippie (talk) (contributions) 07:16, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

I wouldn't say he's necessary. JaeDyWolf ~ Baka-San (talk) 10:04, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

He's necessary to meee. - New Age Retro Hippie (talk) (contributions) 11:51, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

A move of this page to Super Smash Bros. (Nintendo 64)

I don't feel that Super Smash Bros. on 64 is anywhere near noteworthy enough to hold onto the main title of the article. As we do with Castlevania (video game), The Legend of Zelda (video game), and Metroid (video game), we should disambig this and move the series page to Super Smash Bros.. - New Age Retro Hippie (talk) (contributions) 14:22, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

Is there something wrong with Super Smash Bros. (video game)? If this page ends up getting moved I'd prefer that it get moved to that. TheStickMan^[✆Talk] 17:16, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

• (Copying my reply from WT:NIN) - Per convention, I think it should be Super Smash Bros. as the series article, Super Smash Bros. (series) as a redirect to Super Smash Bros., and Super Smash Bros. (video game) as the N64 game article (with Super Smash Bros. (Nintendo 64) as a redirect to Super Smash Bros. (video game); period-less titles (such as Super Smash Bros (series)) and abbreviations (such as SSB64) can be redirects as needed. ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 15:39, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
  • Because of the possibility that the upcoming Smash titles will be simply "Super Smash Bros." to a lot of people, I've come to feel that calling the N64 game "video game" could have some confusion. - New Age Retro Hippie (talk) (contributions) 19:54, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
    • I don't think there's any need to worry about that yet. As far as I've seen, Nintendo is set on the "for 3DS/Wii U" stuff being part of the "official" title. TheStickMan^[✆Talk] 20:17, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

I just noticed this again, myself. The proper convention with WPVG is the franchise name gets to carry the un-parenthetical article title ... that is, Super Smash Bros. represents the entire franchise and all five games, with Super Smash Bros. (video game) being the N64 version. I think this makes better sense now that the new games' full names have been locked down as Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, so there's no need for the "Nintendo 64" addition. --McDoobAU93 18:40, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

Citations

I tend to nitpick about this, but Gameplay needs several additional citations. Tezero (talk) 03:37, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

Characters

The "Characters" section says there are 12 of them total, but does not list all of there names. Should I include a sentence doing so? I think it would make it more convenient for the reader if we did that, so they wouldn't have to go to another page to get that information. Thoughts? Triforces (talk) 21:32, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

Legacy

I added the total number of copies sold for Super Smash Bros Melee/Brawl -- if anyone wants to talk about that edit, let me know, please. I also sourced both the sales figures. Thank you. Triforces (talk) 21:45, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
