This time of year is good to catch up with old friends. If you're an Xbox fan, you're probably getting reacquainted with galactic warrior Master Chief in his new adventure,
Halo 4. If you're a Nintendophile, you're probably frolicking with Mario on your new Wii U.
It's not an original idea: Nintendo has been pitting its lovable characters against each other since 1999's Super Smash Bros. As you'd expect, All-Stars lets up to four players choose their favorite personalities and pound on each other until one is left standing.
The technique is a change from most fighting games. Most of the time, kicking or punching your opponent doesn't do much damage. Instead, each blow adds to an attack meter; build up enough energy and you can unleash three levels of truly deadly moves.
