I've only ever prominently played the N64 game, so it's certainly my favorite. I poked a little into Melee and Brawl at some point, but I was never really big into them. The new one is okay, but I feel it's hampered on the 3DS version simply due to the small size of the 3DS. Played a few serious rounds of it at a local competition for it and while it plays well, the controls aren't great to me. Hoping the game fairs significantly better on the Wii U, the one I have pre-ordered lol
