You'd think I would have used the word "Smashing" like a MILLION times in this video, but I didn't say it at all! I know, contain your shock. I felt there was no better time to talk about Smash Bros. than right now, when the hype for the new games is hitting a total high. Smash didn't really hit it's peak until Melee though, so I'm curious, how many people out there started with Smash 64 like me? I also recently just surpassed 10,000 subscribers. Thank you guys SO much for following and supporting me, and there's nowhere else to go now but higher!
***** I started with the N64 game as well, the N64 is what really introduced me to games as a 4 year-old. This game and Super Mario 64 were the greatest, I always was horrible at both and my cousin always beat me at Smash, but heck I was too busy having fun just looking at the random stuff that would happen on screen now and then to care.
yesiamthebaker I agree, AntDude and Caddicarus are my favorite UA-cam's and Reviewers. You guys just got such an amazing sense of humor and are good at reviewing (duh), 10/10 - IGN.
Hey CJ do you ever plan to review the Smash Bros games yourself, I would love to see what you can do for the games if you were to review them, including the 4th coming soon to our region
cjszero01 Oh alright that's fine, when do you think will be the right time? Shortley after the Wii U version releases so that way you can do a Month of Smash?
You're really getting into a groove with this new format. I'm liking it a lot. As for Smash, well yeah, like you said, what else needs to be said about it. Between the 3 games (and now the demo of the 3DS version) it is easily the series that I've put the most time into over the years. I was obsessed with the original when it came out. Heck, I remember bringing the manual to my grandmother's house one day (couldn't bring the console) and tracing the entire thing. Like every single image. I do agree though, after playing Melee and Brawl, this one lost a bit of it's luster. There is just so much more to those ones, it can be hard to go back sometimes. But oh-ho-HO am I pumped for the new one. I've been playing the demo pretty much nonstop. It feels so good, and what a freaking roster! I genuinely feel like this one is going to be the epitome of what Smash was always meant to be.
Actually the "Toys coming to Life" Story does continue. It gradually becomes a story about growing up and how society wants you to stop playing if you get older, "and do adult things" (Master Hand chained by Tabuu, which... well the name is obvious)
Melee was the first game I got for GameCube on my 8th birthday and I and everyone else loved it. So glad I downloaded the first game in the series for virtual console.
I was astounded when I first found out that Luigi was an unlockable character in this game. Little did I know that Luigi had a huge fanbase and would eventually achieve a status even greater than Mario. I love it!
I really love your reviews. Your sense of humor is unique and I really feel like your videos have a higher quality than most of the overrated channels that have 1,000,001+ subs. (See what I did there?) I've been watching your vids since you did Let's Plays on Sonicdude22 (I think that was the channel name, correct me if I was wrong) and I remember being scolded by my mom when she found out that I watched videos with swear words, for I had been too young and "innocent" at the time. Keep up the good work! P.S. I love how you read and respond to your fans, while some of the UA-cam big shots either don't care or just have way too many comments to read all of them.
I hate to say it, but I don't think I could get too much out of this installment since I started with melee and played it so much that I still get burnt out on it pretty quickly.
The 5 best things about Super Smash Bros: 5) It's a crossover fighter game! 4) Kirby looks so cute with those hats! 3) The way how the announcer says: "SUPER SMASH BROS!" 2) Captain Falcon and Ness receive more love in this game. 1) The commercial is so funny. The 5 worst things about Super Smash Bros: 5) Only 12 characters and 9 stages. 4) Why there's no F-Zero or Earthbound theme stages? 3) Why there's *TWO* Mario theme stages?! 2) *False advertising:* The "Peach's Castle" stage is not really a castle. It's just an ugly looking tower. 1) Luigi's voice is terrible because it's just a high-pitched version of Mario.
The brand new game franchise where you can pick your favorite character from one of these games and beat the shit out of computers, friends, employees, pedestrians, whatever the fuck you want.
I LOVED Smash 64 as a kid, and I still do today, it was one of my very first video games and I had a TON OF FUN playing it, it may be the first game in the series and it didn't have much going for it, but it was still an EXCELLENT start to the series and it helped set up the bar for future installments, Smash 64 deserves A LOT of credit for giving us this glorious series and I couldn't ask for much better start. I also think this game has the BEST version of Classic Mode, I always LOVE going through Classic mode in this game because it a lot to offer in terms of gimicks the mode had to offer, can't wait for your next reviews AntDude:D
There's 2 mario stages because luigis mansion wasn't a thing and i dont think the mario missing world was gonna be in smash 64 so the extra mario stage is for luigi
Was not mentioned in the review, but there's Break the Targets and Board the Platforms that aren't just exclusive to the 1 Player gauntlet.And besides trying to beat your own records, Luigi is unlocked through doing them. (If that's wrong, name the right character)
My good old childhood memories were rekindled. I had an interesting history with this game as it was the first game I asked for and was denied by my parents because it was "violent". Funny thing was the fighting was not why I wanted it, I wanted it because it had my favorite Nintendo characters. I had to wait until late 2000 to finally get the game.
Great video, Dude! And I don't know if you watch game theory, but they made a really good point talking about a growing child playing with toys and that's what Smash Bros from 1 to 4 are about. Maybe you should check it out and maybe change your opinion about Taboo's concept haha
I used to play Super Smash Bros 64, and I never once used the bat for a charge attack/never seen one playing against family... I can't believe I never knew that....
You want to get technical sure, the baseball bat is just an item for smash, but it falls right in line with all the basic extra type stuff thats in the game. The place where it shines creatively, is with the series items,if it where just generic general purpose items, that'd be preety lame.
I dunno... Nintendo is still dominating the local multiplayer scene, especially with the switch. You've got games like: Minecraft Any of the Smash games Kirby Air Ride Surgeon Simulator CPR New Super Mario Bros. Super Mario 3D World The NES library for Nintendo Online Nintendo Land Wii sports (still alive, yeah) Mario Kart (MK8DX ESPECIALLY) The Insult Simulator series Timberman vs. The Escapists series Mario Party Etc. Sure, some of these are third party, but Surgeon Simulator is an ESPECIALLY good example, because local co-op is its main selling point. And if I had to include that, I had to include other indie games as well. (That and it's one of my favorite indie games of all time, up there with The Stanley Parable, which is coming to consoles very soon OMG) EDIT: Added another HUGE example
Reactions to smash in a nutshell: 1998: Woah, i can now play as mario while fighting a gorilla, a electric rat and a space fox, im in! 2018: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAHH!!!!! MORE STAGES, AMAZING GRAPHICS, MORE WEAPONS, MORE BOSSES, MORE GREAT MUSIC, AN ADVANCED ADVENTURE MODE AND MORE CHARACTERS LIKE A FAT KING PENGUIN, A FLAT CALCULATOR LIKE GUY, A FLIPPIN PLANT AND A DRAGON BALL Z LIKE DOG THAT CAN DO A KAMEAHAMEAHAAA, I'LL TAKE YOU'RE ENTIRE STOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looked through the comments, didn't see it, so I guess I'll just be, y'know, THAT GUY... ...You gonna do the Kerfuffles when they come out? Regardless, awesome job and I gotta agree with the final verdict, 64 is still fun to go back to now and then, but it just doesn't hold up for very long, like an hour maybe before someone goes 'wanna go back to Brawl?'
You'd think I would have used the word "Smashing" like a MILLION times in this video, but I didn't say it at all! I know, contain your shock.

When will you upload part 2 (Melee)? You are like my favorite reviewer so please make and upload in the next week? :D
yesiamthebaker I agree, AntDude and Caddicarus are my favorite UA-cam's and Reviewers. You guys just got such an amazing sense of humor and are good at reviewing (duh), 10/10 - IGN.
Melee n00bs:
"WHY U MAKE MELEE BOX FALL!? WHY NOT BRAWL!? IM UNSUBSCRIBING!!!!!"
In my book, that was intentional!
Ah, the good days, when you could say n00bs and xx n00bery xx
I love ya AntDude, I'm really glad you decided to make UA-cam videos
That darn auto focus. Fantastic PAWWWWWWWNCH!
Hey CJ do you ever plan to review the Smash Bros games yourself, I would love to see what you can do for the games if you were to review them, including the 4th coming soon to our region
WreckitFinntheSonic
I would like to, I want too, but I've got some other videos to work on right now.
Markiki Madness
I don't main just one character, I main as many as I can.
cjszero01 Oh alright that's fine, when do you think will be the right time? Shortley after the Wii U version releases so that way you can do a Month of Smash?
WreckitFinntheSonic
Hopefully something like that.
One time i was playing melee and it said "challenger approaching". The challenger was taking a long time to load, and then my GC quit on me😂😂😂
I had to restart my game😂
fancykat here’s an F for not being able to add the challenger to your collection of fighters
I trust you, because you're on the internet.

I love how he puts the games in. 10/10, perfect.
I love that feature from the original N64! Choosing the direction your cartridge faces when you put it in. I’ve always been an upside-down guy myself.
that commercial was every nintendo charachter turning thug life
Talking about "Beating out a Kid"
Kirby is LITERALLY a baby.
that doesnt fucking matter if Kirby is top tier and is being argued AT THIS MOMENT to be banned
Swift_Heracross oh wow lol
does a baby eat EVERYONE???NO (only if it's brain dead)
KIRBY is more often speculated as a type of amoeba.
Game Theory = speculation
Yeah right
why has it never been stated that master hand is actually glover?
Probably because it doesn't have any balls.
Because he isnt
6:00
"Something the series has never gone back to."
Melee opening?
You're really getting into a groove with this new format. I'm liking it a lot.

The Home Run Bat is from the Mother\EarthBound franchise.
that girl
It's not, but okay.
@@hypotheticaltapeworm it is, but you're an idiot
But the bat isn't original, it's from Earthbound...
its not the same, it may have taken some influence from it, but it is from Smash
Ness was a secret character though and his smash attack uses a bat as it is
The Homerun Bat is a weapon that Ness can equip in Earthbound.
Ibn Khairuddeen (ابن خير الدين الألباني) the game still considers it from smash. According to the trophy, that is.
Dipper?
Ever since you got the facecam goin', your jokes start to remind me of jontron, PBG and caddicarus..... And i love it XD
that's because he has copied a lot of their gags lol ;)
i thought the same thing! the whole throwing the game upside into the wrong console is sooooo jon tron

Actually the "Toys coming to Life" Story does continue. It gradually becomes a story about growing up and how society wants you to stop playing if you get older, "and do adult things" (Master Hand chained by Tabuu, which... well the name is obvious)
These days Nintendo pretty much is the local multiplayer market.
7:57 AntDude says the f-word?!??? 😳😳😳
He cussed more in his old videos, he's very PG these days.
@@PaperBanjo64 joke
I've been inserting my games into the consoles incorrectly this entire time...
How have you been inserting them..?
4:40 that subtle diss on Melee😂😂
Great video man, can't wait for the next parts, and congrats on getting 10,000 subscribers (for the second time in your youtube career!!)
Waiting on you to make a list of the best 90s video game commercials.
Melee was the first game I got for GameCube on my 8th birthday and I and everyone else loved it.
So glad I downloaded the first game in the series for virtual console.
I was astounded when I first found out that Luigi was an unlockable character in this game. Little did I know that Luigi had a huge fanbase and would eventually achieve a status even greater than Mario. I love it!
Could you PLEASE start the Ratchet and Clank future reveiw series? I'm dying to see it.
My God this his style hasn't changed.
smash bros 64 was released in 1999
"You can trust me, I'm on the internet."
I really love your reviews. Your sense of humor is unique and I really feel like your videos have a higher quality than most of the overrated channels that have 1,000,001+ subs. (See what I did there?) I've been watching your vids since you did Let's Plays on Sonicdude22 (I think that was the channel name, correct me if I was wrong) and I remember being scolded by my mom when she found out that I watched videos with swear words, for I had been too young and "innocent" at the time. Keep up the good work!
P.S. I love how you read and respond to your fans, while some of the UA-cam big shots either don't care or just have way too many comments to read all of them.
Wow still good for a 2020 video
I hate to say it, but I don't think I could get too much out of this installment since I started with melee and played it so much that I still get burnt out on it pretty quickly.
“Oh right, the Wii U can’t play GameCube games..”
Absolute fucking gold.
The 5 best things about Super Smash Bros:
5) It's a crossover fighter game!
4) Kirby looks so cute with those hats!
3) The way how the announcer says: "SUPER SMASH BROS!"
2) Captain Falcon and Ness receive more love in this game.
1) The commercial is so funny.
The 5 worst things about Super Smash Bros:
5) Only 12 characters and 9 stages.
4) Why there's no F-Zero or Earthbound theme stages?
3) Why there's *TWO* Mario theme stages?!
2) *False advertising:* The "Peach's Castle" stage is not really a castle. It's just an ugly looking tower.
1) Luigi's voice is terrible because it's just a high-pitched version of Mario.
7:11"Captain Falcon is skilled at collecting prize money"..... That's the best quality in a man.
The brand new game franchise where you can pick your favorite character from one of these games and beat the shit out of computers, friends, employees, pedestrians, whatever the fuck you want.
I think the best thing about smash 64 is those hardcore sound effects. theyre so HARD
I LOVED Smash 64 as a kid, and I still do today, it was one of my very first video games and I had a TON OF FUN playing it, it may be the first game in the series and it didn't have much going for it, but it was still an EXCELLENT start to the series and it helped set up the bar for future installments, Smash 64 deserves A LOT of credit for giving us this glorious series and I couldn't ask for much better start. I also think this game has the BEST version of Classic Mode, I always LOVE going through Classic mode in this game because it a lot to offer in terms of gimicks the mode had to offer, can't wait for your next reviews AntDude:D
There's 2 mario stages because luigis mansion wasn't a thing and i dont think the mario missing world was gonna be in smash 64 so the extra mario stage is for luigi
I was wondering what he was like a couple years back and I can assure you his energy is the exact same luv u ant dude 😘
What a 'Smashing' Success AntDude! :D (Sorry! As you didn't make the pun in the video, I had to do it in the comments)
he did in the description thoo~
Fantastic video!!
I have great memories of the first game.
Luigis face looks less of "I don't want to be here" and more "I'm going to f**k you all up and you know it".
I love it how you put the cardrige or the CD into the console
If your watching this in 2018 you know that the green guy never returned
I remember always trying to do a cool pose with the taunts in time for the bonus screen to freeze it at the end of the first match in classic mode.
Aww, baby Ant. Remember when he would do a swear?
The Falcon Punch is from An F-Zero TV show
Pyro4275 Nope, that came after
*Falco...PUUUUUUNCH!*
Man, that never gets old.
Was not mentioned in the review, but there's Break the Targets and Board the Platforms that aren't just exclusive to the 1 Player gauntlet.And besides trying to beat your own records, Luigi is unlocked through doing them.
(If that's wrong, name the right character)

I'm watching this before the nintendo direct HYPE!!
My hype literally cannot be contained! Great review as always.
Great video, Dude!
And I don't know if you watch game theory, but they made a really good point talking about a growing child playing with toys and that's what Smash Bros from 1 to 4 are about. Maybe you should check it out and maybe change your opinion about Taboo's concept haha
About the 10th time I watch this video and just now I realized you forgot Banjo-Tooie in the local multiplayer games list in the beginning. XD
Ahh yes the video where he drops the F-bomb
Lol your ending gags are so HILARIOUS XD whether they're intentional or not;)>
Ant: and!!
UA-cam: here you go a subway ad
Me: ok
Subway ad: 5 dolla sandewich
This game I played with my brothers all the time.
Bringing back the random fighting characters from the original demo game would be a good idea for ultimate
I used to play Super Smash Bros 64, and I never once used the bat for a charge attack/never seen one playing against family... I can't believe I never knew that....
LOL! I had to sing that creepy song from the comercial for my 5th grade consert! XD
I love this Super Smash Brothers game!
Just search super smash bros. 64 and a really good vid comes up by antdude!
I want to buy a load of old Nintendo 64 and PS1/PS2 games because games nowadays are all about DLC and Microtransactions
Okay.
Thank god! You pronounced Sakurai correctly.
EDIT: Hang on what, did ANTDUDE just swear? Noice.
"And leave it to Nintendo to make it socially acceptable to beat up [...] a small child"
You mean Kirby?
Home Run Bat is from Earthbound, which you say you haven't played. You need to do this if you still haven't yet. I think you'd appreciate it.
this video was uploaded the day super smash bros for the wii u was released in japan.
rugrats scavenger hunt was my favorite
Ness is thirteen at the least, I have no idea why everyone thinks he's like 10
Blame the Japanese voice acting where everyone will sound like a girl until they turn 30 something.
+cronical246 Not that a thirteen year old is that much older than someone at age ten. Still children all the same.
cronical246 Kerry si literally a baby.
cronical246 Kirby is literally a baby.
The thing is that while he's implied to be around 10-12 in Japan, the stated age of 13 came from the US manual.
Finally someone reviews these games In honor of the new games
...I swear, the original dudes became the wireframes in brawl O.O
*P A W N C H ! !*
The Falcon Punch Came from the the F-Zero movie
this guy sure is a dude, and he does review things- fine by my books.
ok.
I drank water right when you drank water and I stopped when you stopped.
yeah.
You want to get technical sure, the baseball bat is just an item for smash, but it falls right in line with all the basic extra type stuff thats in the game. The place where it shines creatively, is with the series items,if it where just generic general purpose items, that'd be preety lame.
I dunno... Nintendo is still dominating the local multiplayer scene, especially with the switch.
You've got games like:
Minecraft
Any of the Smash games
Kirby Air Ride
Surgeon Simulator CPR
New Super Mario Bros.
Super Mario 3D World
The NES library for Nintendo Online
Nintendo Land
Wii sports (still alive, yeah)
Mario Kart (MK8DX ESPECIALLY)
The Insult Simulator series
Timberman vs.
The Escapists series
Mario Party
Etc.
Sure, some of these are third party, but Surgeon Simulator is an ESPECIALLY good example, because local co-op is its main selling point. And if I had to include that, I had to include other indie games as well.
(That and it's one of my favorite indie games of all time, up there with The Stanley Parable, which is coming to consoles very soon OMG)
EDIT: Added another HUGE example
would it be cool if for smash bros. ultimate they recreated that original smash bros 1 commercial
retro ant dude
I got a Smash Bros. Ad before watching this.
Coincidence? I think not.
Isn't the homerun bat from earthbound/mother 2
Yeah, I thought so.
2:43 well tectonically Kirby is still a baby so.....
The home run bat is from EarthBound
Reactions to smash in a nutshell: 1998: Woah, i can now play as mario while fighting a gorilla, a electric rat and a space fox, im in! 2018: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAHH!!!!! MORE STAGES, AMAZING GRAPHICS, MORE WEAPONS, MORE BOSSES, MORE GREAT MUSIC, AN ADVANCED ADVENTURE MODE AND MORE CHARACTERS LIKE A FAT KING PENGUIN, A FLAT CALCULATOR LIKE GUY, A FLIPPIN PLANT AND A DRAGON BALL Z LIKE DOG THAT CAN DO A KAMEAHAMEAHAAA, I'LL TAKE YOU'RE ENTIRE STOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4:38
Subbed
Looked through the comments, didn't see it, so I guess I'll just be, y'know, THAT GUY...
...You gonna do the Kerfuffles when they come out?
Regardless, awesome job and I gotta agree with the final verdict, 64 is still fun to go back to now and then, but it just doesn't hold up for very long, like an hour maybe before someone goes 'wanna go back to Brawl?'
What dude I put over 3000 hours on this game with n64 party’s we used to love this game
This is the 64th episode of AntDude...coincidence? Maybe
I cannot count how many times I’ve barely beaten my cousin in Smash 4 JUST because I got lucky with the Home-Run Bat
DID ANTDUDE SWEAR?????????????
Antdude:Are ya out of your fucking MIND???!!
-antdude 2014
0:28 2 Words:
*Sonic Shuffle*
Putting the game in wrong like jontron I approve
Isn’t the home run bat from earthbound. You know. SMMAAAASH
People constantly shit on the N64's control stick, but did anyone ever look into how that thing was built?
Ah Melee, the game that everyone bought a Gamecube for. Can't wait till next time!
I hope we get a new intro like these in ultimate. 4 didn't even have one, I think.
is it weird that this is my favorite smash game?
4:49 Fail
9:03 Double Fail
