Super Smash Bros
I was working at a game shop a few years ago when a kid walked in and asked me for a copy of Super Smash Brothers 2. I quickly snatched a copy of Melee off of the shelf when he chimes in, “No! That’s the first one…” My coworker then stepped in explaining that the first one was for the Nintendo 64. He had no idea what that was.
