With rumors of a Melee HD coming to Nintendo Switch, Did You Know Gaming takes a look at some facts, secrets, Easter eggs and history of Super Smash Bros Melee! SSBM was developed by HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo for the Gamecube. The game was preceded by Super Smash Bros for the Nintendo 64 (N64), and followed by Super Smash Bros Brawl for the Wii, as well as Super Smash Bros for Wii U and 3DS. This series is a crossover of Nintendo characters, including Mario, Donkey Kong, Link from The Legend of Zelda, Samus from Metroid, Ness from Earthbound, Captain Falcon from F-Zero, Yoshi, Kirby, Star Fox and Pikachu and Jigglypuff from Pokemon among others. Through our analysis of the game, its gameplay and its beta, we hope to show some of the more interesting facts we found and have its history explained.

It's crazy that Sakurai to this day doesn't look like he's a day over 25.

Adrian Castillo Benjamin Button?!
Hazel Ninja look up older photos, he looks younger than ever!
Iwata also looked the same for the most part. We thought Nintendo made Iwata ageless, but we were wrong.

Always thought it was weird that the DK Rap said 'Hell' in the E for Everyone Donkey Kong 64 but they changed it to 'Heck' for the T for Teen Melee.
Elmo9001 They ended up releasing another version of DK64 with the heck replacement.
Rare are a British studio and hell isn't really a swear word outside of the US. I guess Nintendo never realized it until after it released. It's also fixed in later releases.
I still can't wrap my head around hell being a swear in the states, it's just baffling
Go to hell is basically the same as fuck you.
Disney got away with saying it in movies like 101 Dalmatians, and The Hunchback of Norte Dame, so who's to judge?
"sakurai was concerned about filling the game with too many Mario characters" PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT
Poolfrog Weeaboo Emblem Awakening best waifu simulator 2k17
Poolfrog yeah way to many fire emblem characters
+Poolfrog If you disinclude Yoshi, Wario, Donkey Kong, and Diddy Kong, there's STILL more Mario characters than Fire Emblem characters. And if you complain about Roy and Lucina being clones, Luigi and Dr. Mario say hi.
We still have far more Mario people than FE people.
comicking428 True but the difference is monotony. At least not every Mario character has a sword
I think that every Smash Bros is awesome.
Emi Cheese You are the best human ever
I agree. they're all fun, though I personally favor 4. but hey, melee is fast, brawl has the best adventure mode, and 1 has saffron city!
What? You actually like all of these well made games? Unbelievable
-a Melee only Fox main
Go fuck yourself
Henrique Buarque True each one is perfect in their own right.

2019: Lel
"he fainted from exhaustion and had to be given an IV at the hospital"
JESUS CHRIST SAKURAI YOU ALMOST DID THE SAME FUCKING THING WITH SMASH 4! GIVE YOURSELF A BREAK PLEASE!
And people are assuming Smash 5 will come out without knowing all the sacrifices this guy makes for every installment, nothing but true dedication. Should give the guy a break and port Smash 4 for the Switch.
Hence why it baffles me that some people STILL have the guts to say he's lazy or things of that nature. It's not frequent, but I see it from time to time. There's a lot of things people might disagree with, and that's perfectly their right, but this man is anything but lazy.
More and more people are gonna take a smash 4 port to the switch because WII U WAS MISSED BY A LOT, and add ice climbers and 3ds content to go along.
he isnt lazy it's the unrealistic time constraints that lead to stuff like this, too many companies trying to cater to shareholders
who said I said he was lazy? I was agreeing with giving him a break.
Did you know
people are capable of liking Melee even if they don't dabble in the competitive scene?
Poolfrog Are you on smashladder? Wanna play marth dittos on netplay sometime?
Poolfrog Because casual is unbearable without the L Cancel.
The speed is immensly slowed down, the end lag and stun lag is horrendous. The gravity is like mars.
millieman76 I find it strange that a game that is so loved for its controls is popular by an exploit/advanced technique
To be honest, upon release Melee was still in the relative infancy of the internet. So most people actually played it with real friends and were oblivious to a "competitive scene".
I checked this on Snopes and it was false. The last known Melee player was tragically wobbled to death in 2011. Some say thet a casual player exists out there in the wild, but scientists have yet to find conclusive evidence.

1:14 COMMITMENT.
Literally the best man to work on any video game. Definitely a Gaming God.
Sakurai didn't want to put Wario in because he said there would be too many Mario characters.
*looks at SSB Wii U*
WHAT?!
If Melee had Wario playable, there would have been 6 Mario characters (8 if counting Yoshi and Donkey Kong) out of 26, whereas SSB4 has 9 Mario characters (12 if you count Yoshi, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong) out of 58, which is a much smaller fraction of the total number.
Solibrae i Never count diddy as a mario character considering his first game was dk game
I don't think DK/dk count, but Yoshi does.
That would've been ~27% (7/26) in Melee, and ~17% (10/26) in Wii U.
Yoshi does NOT count as a Mario character. He's a Yoshi character. Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong are DK characters, and Wario isn't a Mario character. Proof: www.smashbros.com/en_US/fighter/series.html
VergeOfVertigo You may know, but you’re not everyone.

*adds 6000 Fire Emblem/Sword characters*

Did you know that Shogo Sakai was one of the lead composers for Melee. Sakai also worked on the entire soundtrack of Mother 3, and you can really hear some of the similarities in the instruments he uses in both soundtracks.
Mother 3 and melee had amazing music.
Mish Koz Mother 3? You mean nintendo 64 right?
Because Ive never heard about Sakurai involved with the development of mother 3.
I call bullshiiitttt
+millieman76
Learn how to read.
MOTHER 3's soundtrack is by far the weakest MOTHER series soundtrack...it's such a bummer that Hirokazu Tanaka and Keiichi Suzuki weren't available to work on it due to other commitments. The soundtrack isn't bad, but it's nowhere near as memorable, beautiful, or timeless as MOTHER's and MOTHER 2's. It really made that game feel very separate from the other two games, so instead of feeling like a cohesive trilogy, it feels like a game and its sequel, and then this other game that is also kind of tacked on. The story of 3 is amazing, but its music simply doesn't do it justice. Nowhere near enough musical callbacks to the first two games' soundtracks.
I understand your point, but I think it being non-cohesive is more of a strong point. Think about it; Mother 3 takes place hundreds of years after Earthbound, on an island literally called the Nowhere Islands. In that case, it *should* feel sort of disconnected from the first two games.
I'd also argue that songs like Happy Town?, Mind of a Thief, His Highness' Theme, and of course the Love Theme are all just as memorable as songs like Polyanna, Onett, Fourside, or The Place.
Swear. While some are complaining because of "this not being in the game" or "that's not there...". Meanwhile, Sakurai is working so hard on the game. to where he puts his health at risk just to "please" the fans. But for what? More complaining?
That poor guy needs a long break after all that work.
I agree with this comment so much! Sakurai really needs a rest!
Gamer Dan or better yet, retirement, I don’t care if we don’t get any more games just retire Sakurai!
He needs a break from Smash Bros after Figthers Pass 2
Jesus, this game series was actually killing Sakurai. But I swear it would never be the same if he didn't have something to do with it.
Austin Mendoza However it's time for a new director for the series if you ask me because of Sakurai's stupid and insane logic when it comes to certain things (ex. Letting Lucina be a separate character because small difference in abilities equals character slot according to him), his extreme bias to certain franchises (ex. The amount of Kid Icarus content in Smash 4) and extremely dumb decisions (ex. removing story mode from smash 4)
There is nothing wrong with making filler characters in fighting games, after all, they can be done in days compared to a character made from scratch (Lucina is also a fan favorite). Filthy casuals can never let go with "bias" can they? End of the day you played the game and you forgot about the Kid Icarus trophies. How it is extremely dumb to remove story mode when it wasn't the big deal and it costs time and money? See? Only people like Sakurai can direct this games, foolish nerds like you would make the game a mess.
If I had any reason to want to see Sakurai step down as Smash-director, it'd be for his sake, more than that of the game. Smash Bros is just great. That's not to say it couldn't be better, or that it's unthinkable that another director could perhaps do certain things better, but nobody can deny what outstanding games have been produced under his watch. Even if Sakurai does hand over the job to someone else, I'm sure he'd still be involved *somehow*.
Juan776 Brawl's story mode was one of my favorite things about the game. I get why it was cut, (Although Sakurai chalked it up to some stupid shit about being posted online.). It was way better then that shitty board game, master and crazy orders, and the trash that is the new classic mode in Smash 4. Considering Smash is a cross over series a decent story mode makes a lot of sense. It took someone with Sakurai's work ethic and mind set to make the series but not all of his decisions are good ideas.
Brandonious15987 as someone above me say, he has great ideas and bad ideas, after all he is a human, and human make mistakes every once in a while, but I don't want him directing the game not by his bad ideas, but because he is going to die if he do another game, the game industrie need more people like sakurai that give his soul and his body to his creation, we can't lose someone like him just for over working himself
I miss the old Mang0
Jonathan Sandstorm I miss the old m2k
Straight from the go Mang0
winning EVO Mang0
I MISS THE OLD UA-cam
I hate the new Mang0
I was literally just playing Super Smash Bros. Melee.
Mario Denu Nice! XD
ok?
Don't you mean
No items
Fox Only
Final Destination?
Kojima and Sakurai should do a collaboration for a new game
Forever Zero considering they was friends at the time
This is the last Nintendo game to had the N64 era art style, as in the Gamecube era give the characters a Pixar makeover.
Sakuri logic:
-there's too many mario characters
-adds more Fire Emblem characters
*Job well done*
KingN641994 Well, in a way, the FE characters fighting each other is a crossover in itself since the franchise is made up of multiple universes.
KingN641994 there's more Mario Characters than Fire Emblem characters sooo
KingN641994 Should've added Metroid characters.
There's still more mario characters and it makes more sense with fire emblem. Each game has a different universe that doesn't cross over with others so you need to add main characters from an entirely different game.
*cough* We need Bandana Waddle Dee *cough*
wow, i actually learned alot about a game i thought i knew everything about already
Yes because Melee is Cancer
Hey, Gamecade, do you like Smash Brothers 4?
nah shrek superslam is the best
Agustin Leguiza "Let me attack a fanbase by generalizing a community as toxic, even though I am toxic myself"
finally they have sukapon in smash ultimate...what a wait
*AS AN ASSIST TROPHY*
Sakurai is a legend. He works so hard, and I feel so bad for him. I hope he takes a break when developing Smash for the Switch.
Being a workaholic is essentially _expected_ in Japan, which is not good at all. It’s dangerous for people’s health, sometimes even causing deaths.
Can't tell you how much we played this in high school. Some of the most fun I'll ever have playing a video game.
Did you play with items?
Final Destination? Fox only?
Did you know: A skilled Roy can beat any Fox.
The day M2K beat Mike Haze with Roy, I bet every Roy main's dick/vagina exploded in joy.
Did you know solid snake is the son of Dr EggMan and that is why he hates sonic in super smash bros brawl .
The funny thing is I am not joking .
Neo Machine I'm scared
Neo Machine except a skilled fox
i honestly do not think that a person who mastered every attribute of roy to perfection could beat a person who mastered fox to the point of perfection.
I think I heard somewhere that Leif from Fire Emblem Thracia 776 was considered for Melee, but was replaced by Roy to promote Binding Blade. Don't quote me, though.
worries about putting guns in the game...
puts in Solid Snake
Trey Garrett except Snake's moveset comprise of Explosives. Not a single gun was used in his moveset.
the tranq gun.
LionHeartXII That's PM.
Oh yeah, that was PM.
LucarioShirona X What about his side special and final smash?
Man, it feels so weird watching casual Melee after being in the competitive Melee scene for so long.
+Landon Wilson what competitive scene?
+JGmon a competitive scene that existed for over 10 years
The name you should know Probably longer than they've been alive.
Landon Wilson going to EVO?!
+JGmon Pretty sure he just threw the whole rod lol
Really bothers me that they never even remotely considered Diddy Kong for Melee :^( He's not even a trophy in that game.
it was because of Rare rights at the time.
I have a feeling Ayumi Tachibana has a chance to be in Ultimate since Sakurai seems to be going back to old ideas for Ultimate and Ayumi would make sense for a Nintendo retro rep
It would be interesting to what they could do for her moveset
I love how both ditto and sukapon are now in smash ultimate.
5:20 - Banjo, a Rare owned character, drifted permanently out of...
HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!!
Did you know i was the latest addition to the roster? Best late addition to any game in history.
Ganondorf whatever makes you feel better, Captain Falcon
Colour of Madness hello, 911? i just witnessed a murder
When you can't win a tourney but your own SON manages to best you at every turn.
Ganondorf too bad your moveset is a Hylian Knockoff of Captain Falcon
Wait, did you just say Captain Falcon is your SON?
Melee will always be a part of my past but also a game I admire from several angles. You can tell just by looking at the intro how much hard work was put into this game.
Thanks for making this video for such an awesome game!
Gawd I can’t even imagine how legendary Wario would’ve been in Melee.
i love Smash Bros. Melee
4:20 Well, that’s a bit creepy.
Ayumi Tachibana getting in and subsequently leading to an official localization of her game would have been a real delight.
I'm so addicted about learning about development process of games. XD
especially games that were a huge part of my childhood.
I'm a simple man, I see melee in notifications, I click
justinsaber32
I'm a simple man, I see "I'm a simple man" jokes, I comment
Squirtle master you came to the wrong hood
Seems like you're also too "simple" to come up with a unique comment.
MinimiMax that roast is awesome I'm stealing it if you don't mind
MinimiMax won't disagree with you there lol
I really liked when they had cooperation between companies for when they included solid snake, and sonic. I remember when that was announced so many kids were excited to be able to play as other characters with the likes of Mario and Link.
iamfuturetrunks You mean unlike now when they announced Mega Man with the first trailer, then Sonic and Pac-Man, and then Ryu, Cloud and Bayonetta?
Bayonetta isn't Nintendo?
Mr. Anonymous no
TheMaestroChannel Yeah but Solid Snake...
It's great to hear Norm narrate one of these.
Last time I was this early Mang0 was still a God.
Yeahyuuhhz
=D7
Ah, my first video game. It holds the the most special place in my heart when it comes to video games
Did you know the only real way to play the game is NO ITEMS FOX ONLY FINAL DESTINATION?!
That meme
I disagree, fox dittos would be much more exciting on stadium. Or better yet a falcon ditto on yoshi's
Any character, any stage, items on.
pew pew pew pew HAIYAAAAAAAAAH pew pew pew pew
*Marth is coming
*Marth destroys fox
Melee's music, competitive scene, mechanics and memories are the things that define it. It's my favourite smash game ever!
New appreciation for this franchise. The work, time and dedication that goes into the things we like often go right over our heads.
Fun Fact: Both Ditto and Sukapon appear in Ultimate.
Due to the graphic nature of this comment, viewer discretion is advised.
I like Melee.
*gasp*
Due to the horrendous war crimes that the following comment may contain, we urge the viewer to cease reading on.
I’m more of a brawl guy.
So glad to see Norman get some exposure, his channel is amazing!
Great to have Norm narrating. One of my fave UA-camrs!
"Dad can we have your character in the game?"
*Calls Sakurai immediately*
Now that's one bad ass father
Kinda cool that Sukapon is now an assist trophy in Smash Ultimate
We need more videos narrated by The Gaming Historian. Fits him so well.
Okay, most of the time when I watch a DYKG video, they talk about stuff everyone already knows. This one has alot of really interesting facts that I've never heard of. Great job, DYKG.
nice to see ditto made it into ultimate!
They got Ditto to work now!!
It's crazy that they worried so much about what characters were popular in the west, when it's because of Smash Bros. that Fire Emblem is as popular as it is now, and there's a huge demand for Mother 3 to be localized.
Finally! I've been waiting years for this video
THAT AIN'T FALCO!!!
Anthony Nguyen Happy Feet. WOMBO COMBO!!!
WHERE YOU AT!? WHERE YOU AT!?
Anthony Nguyen GET YOUR ASS WHOOPED!
That up-smash. OH! OH! OH! OH! OH!
MY DICK HURTS!!!
Remember when DYKG promised to do an episode about Half-Life and Bioshock around two years ago? I still do. Come on, there's plenty of cool shit in both.
Thank you for this video.
It's great to see new informations about an "old" epic game :)
I would honestly love for Sakurai to come out and explain what characters he really wanted to put in the games and give us details on what their move sets would consist of.
I'd play the hell out of Ayumi Tachibana. Seeing a Japanese school girl beat the shit out of Mario and Donkey Kong would be wonderful.
5:19 “Permanently” We’ll see about that...
My guy went so hard on the Melee intro that he fainted🤣 RESPECT!✊🏽
Melee will forever be my favorite childhood game.
I don’t understand workaholics but Sakurai not only takes the cake, he takes the everything. Seriously! ONE DAY OFF OF WORK IN YOUR WHOLE PROJECT!?
I still don't understand how would Sukapon have worked as an item. He should be playable tbh.
Super Smash Bros Melee brings back so many good Memories
1:08: That is the most majestic thing I have ever seen.
so... many... yoshis...
When are you gonna do a video on Warhammer 40,000 video games?
And if you need a narrator for it.... *hint hint*
40K Theories Who should be the narrator, Jontron lol
"Banjo drifted permanently out of Nintendo's reach"
*oh, did he?*
Lmao
It's so good to hear Norman do the voiceover this for video! Gaming Historian 4 lyfe
Man, Smash has always been one of my favorite, maybe even my favorite game series, but I almost feel guilty for wanting more of it because of the toll it takes on Sakurai. I hope he knows how appreciated he is.
Hey SHut up nobody wants to hear that liberal
I like Melee cause of how clean and colorful it is and the gameplay is awesome and it was my first Smash game,while some people like it because of the wave dashing
2:28
So that's where Skapon is from...
Well already knew just about all of this from your other videos EXCEPT @ 2:55 Bellsprout HYPE!! Hopefully he can appear in Smash Bros. Switch!
My jaw dropped hearing that quick drop of Osohe Castle in the trophy reflections- I love Mother 3 so even before you said it I knew :D
morio and worio is my favorite game 😥😥
Wasn't that game cancelled? Or just Japan exclusive?
idk lol I'm just making fun of the way he saws wario
Oh, sorry! XD
There was some game called "Mario and Wario" and I thought you were referring to that.
yeah lol
Kyle the Reflectionist Mario and Wario were only in Japan and used the SNES mouse.
Hey Did You Know Gaming: For music facts, it would be great if you could play the song in question in the video. Or if you fear copyright strikes, add an annotation that links to the song on UA-cam.
tbh the melee intro is probably the coolest minute and a half in history
Snake...Snake...SNAAAAKE
It's interesting to see just how much Melee changed western gaming. Had Sakurai and his team been given more time to work on the game, we would be living with a very different Nintendo landscape. Who knows? Mother 3 may have even gotten a chance in the US if Lucas had been added in Melee.
Also, it's cool to see that Sakurai never truly gives up on good ideas. We finally got Ditto in Ultimate, exactly as it was meant to be implemented. Sonic and Snake were added in Brawl, of course. 8-player Smash arrived in Smash for Wii U. I wonder if there are other ideas he would like to add that still can't quite be implemented.
lolm2k
After 5 minutes thinking "This sounds like Norm talking" I read the title, yup lol. Can't wait for Gaming historian volume 1! preordered man!
I remember two years ago, I was playing Melee and I chose tournament mode. While I was selecting the character, it glitched out and guess what character was selected, Ditto. I could not believe it! Once I started the match though, the game crashed. I had to restart the Wii by unplugging the power cable. It wouldn't turn off with the off button. That is why I agree, that Ditto was cut late into Melee's development.
PP COME BACK!
Ditto is a Pokémon in Ultimate now
A long overdue narrator. Seeing Norm on DYKG is legit fantastic.
Was kinda hoping for a mention of the ssbm competitive scene as its been around for so long
Final destination no items Fox only
Oh hey a new dykg video is ou--- oh.... it's the same as the old video. nvm (at least the gaming historian is voicing in this)
I asked got a little hyped when I saw the title because you guys teach someone like me who has been following video games for almost eight whole life, something new.
Liking thus video purely because you finally got someone who isn't painful to listen to and can actually say the word "brothers"
