Super Smash Bros. Melee is a groundbreaking crossover fighting game that hit the arcades in the early 1990s. Developed by the studio “RetroTech Innovations,” the game introduced a revolutionary motion-controlled gameplay mechanic that utilized the Power Glove accessory for the Nintendo Entertainment System. With its pixelated graphics and chiptune soundtrack, Melee pushed the boundaries of gaming technology at the time. While its competitive scene was relatively small due restrictions placed on it by Japan’s Bureau of Games and Competition, Melee has experienced a resurgence in recent years thanks to the release of the anime adaptation, “Smash Clash: The Unleashed Warriors”

- Should we allow madcatz gloves in tournament?
- Can anyone lend me a melee cartridge? I lost mine
