The acclaimed fighting game franchise has brought characters from a multitude of video game franchises since 1999 and received massive critical and commercial reception. Fowler said that he would be happy if he could just throw all the characters into a battle Royale. The licensing issue is holding a Smash Bros. adaptation from seeing the light of day. The franchise has drawn in characters from other franchises, such as Street Fighter and Mega Man. Fowler would be willing to do the legal work before the project ever gets off the ground.
It feels likely that Super Smash Bros. will get a jump on expanded media in the near future. It feels like a solid setup for a film franchise or TV series to have a large and diverse cast on hand. Who wouldn't want to see Toon Link get stomped in by Steve from the game Minecraft for a few hours? It will be interesting to see how that will take shape, given the video game adaptation boom has a fairly solid split between live action and animation at the moment.
The sequel to Sonic the Hedgehog is in theaters. Let us know if you think an adaptation of Super Smash Bros. would work.
