Melee two years later with 2008’s Brawl winning the series a whole new host of fans thanks to the Nintendo Wii.
 
In 2014, the series moved to the Nintendo 3DS for the first time and was ported to the Wii U. Each of the games was a critical and commercial success with its vast roster of popular characters, colourful arenas and exciting fighting styles.
 
Creator Masahiro Sakurai, who has been a pivotal driving force in all Super Smash Bros. games has been confirmed as returning to the series for its new installment on the Nintendo Switch.
 
After he expressed a desire to retire, fans were concerned about how his lack of input would affect the title. There was no need to worry, however, as he later confirmed that he would indeed be working on the game.

Mario and Link are back and there are some new additions to the character roster, the most notable being the Inklings from Nintendo’s very own Splatoon.
