Amtrak encourages Smash Bros. tournaments to pass the time on your next train ride.
To promote its trains as the ideal way for gamers to travel (a marketing approach that once included a branded Nintendo DSi) Amtrak suggests bringing a CRT for a “Smash Melee tournament,” as spotted by X user Smyles.
The suggestion is meant to highlight train amenities like power outlets, “loads of elbow space,” and complimentary Wi-Fi, but encouraging passengers to bring “an entire dual screen monitor setup” could ignite a TikTok trend Amtrak may regret.
