Chinese Smash Bros. knock-off released on mobile
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Mobile, News | 37 Comments
Yesterday we heard about a Splatoon clone from China that recently hit mobile devices. Today, a second Nintendo knock-off was released: “Pocket All-Stars Smash Bros.”
Unlike the Splatoon ripoff, the Smash Bros. game isn’t a complete copy at least. Nintendo characters are used, but it’s card-based and turn-based. Players can level up characters, and buying things is a part of the gameplay as well.
If you’re interested in seeing what Pocket All-Stars Smash Bros. is all about, view the video below for gameplay.
