Back in the N64 days, I had a group of friends that would enjoy regular 4-player games like Goldeneye, Beetle Adventure Racing, The New Tetris, WCW/WWE, and so on and so forth, and Super Smash Brothers was a staple.

When the Gamecube version came out, I picked it up ... and unfortunately no longer had that circle of friends to enjoy the experience with, so, as nice as that game was, I never truly "enjoyed" it as much as I could have.

I picked up SSBB today, and I can tell from the get-go that online play (for me anyway) was EXACTLY what the doctor ordered ... I just need to get to practicing and learning the new characters and levels, and I should be back in form in no time.

Now pardon me while I go play through the single-player mode.
