Look up Sonic Shuffle, Crash Bash, Fusion Frenzy, Viva Pinata Party Animals, etc.
Look up Crash Team Racing, Diddy Kong Racing, Sonic and Sega All-Stars, etc.
Then, tell me why this is such a big deal. We get one of these PSASBR threads every time I turn around and in the end, nothing gets accomplished. Whoever makes the thread gets a 100 replies and at the end of the day, the game is still coming and Nintendo fans still have the option of totally ignoring its existence and still having a blast with Super Smash Bros. Is it a copy? Fuck yeah, it is. Everybody knows it. Even the guys that say "Oh, it's different because...." If it wasn't a copy, you wouldn't have to come up with reasons why it's different. Doesn't matter. This has happened before and it will happen again. It's cool. Successful franchises spawn "clones".
