I don’t think I need to tell anyone that I do not condone piracy of the game. So hopefully you already have a disc that you’ve had around for the past 20 years or so…otherwise you’re going to pay a pretty penny (unless you buy a Japanese version). US discs hover around $60-$80 used on eBay at the time of writing this. Japanese copies sell for a lot less than their US counterparts. Otherwise it’s pretty much exactly the same as the US version, albeit for character names and a different title screen the character balances are identical.

It’s the Japanese version but it works just fine on both my region-unlocked Wii in the US and with Slippi, and I can change the language to English in the Options menu. I assume everyone reading this has a legal copy of the disc. If you’re new to Melee, there’s plenty of tutorials out there to get you started. Brawl, and have never played Melee, please know Melee is a more fast-paced, technical game, with more advanced gameplay mechanics that will take some time getting used to (which is why the competitive players love it so much). If you’ve played Smash Ultimate, SM4SH for Wii U/3DS, or Super Smash Bros. A Note If You’re Coming from Smash Ultimate ⌗ Let’s get this game set up on your Linux machine (and maybe your Steam Deck?) so you can start playing the game online with others…with rollback netcode! The process really isn’t that complicated, but this guide should give you some tips on how to get the best experience. I won’t spend this article on my fascinations with this game (although I may do that in a separate post) let’s get right to the point.

The game I will cherish to time indefinite.
