Which Nintendo console first featured a Super Smash Bros. game?

The Nintendo 64 was the first Nintendo console to feature a Super Smash Bros. game.

The original Super Smash Bros. launched in Japan on January 21, 1999, before reaching North America and Europe later that year. Developed by HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo, it introduced the crossover fighting concept that brought characters from series such as Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Kirby, Pokémon, Metroid, and Star Fox into the same battles.

The Nintendo 64's four-controller support made it a natural home for Smash Bros.'s signature four-player matches. The next console entry was Super Smash Bros. Melee for the GameCube in 2001, followed by Brawl on Wii in 2008. The Nintendo DS was never a platform for a mainline Super Smash Bros. release, which makes it an especially plausible but incorrect distractor.
