Hey guys, I recently found these three very interesting videos, stating that Dedede, Bowser, and Mewtwo were planned for the original Smash Bros., ect.
Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ciImvi3KCk
Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcPipl6RAfQ
Part 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isPfYp6NM8A
I'll post all of the info here at a later time if you don't want to watch.
Info
Part 1:
* The Smash Bros. series was originally going to be called Dragon King: Tee Fighting Game for the Super Nintendo and feature no established Nintendo characters, it was to be the first game in a new franchise.
- Moved to the N64 to utilize the analog stick, four man multiplayer, and better graphics.
- Codenamed Ryuoh, Ryuoh was a neighborhood which they used pictures of for the background of the game's stages.
* Sakurai said the game wouldn't work good on a home console without established Nintendo characters.
- He created a demo with Mario, DK, Samus, and Fox duke-ing it out and Nintendo loved the idea and approved it.
* Renamed Super Smash Bros. and originally planned as Japan only.
- The game was a huge hit and released worldwide.
* King Dedede, Bowser, and Mewtwo were all planned for the original Smash Bros.
- They were playable in development but were cut before the game's release.
* The development team stated before Super Smash Bros. release they wanted Bowser, Peach, Wario, King Dedede, Ganon, Mewtwo, Mew, Toad, Banjo and Kazooie, and even James Bond to be playable eventually.
* The Dev Team wanted a fighter to represent the 8 - bit era in melee.
- Out of Ice Climbers, Excite Bike Racer, Balloon Fighter, Urban Champion, and Bubbles.
- The only reason the Excite Bike Racer wasn't chosen was because Sakurai couldn't figure out a way for him to jump.
* The creators of both Snake and Sonic both wanted their characters to be in melee, but because of time constraints, they weren't added. (Later added to Brawl)
* The only reason King Dedede wasn't in Melee was because Sakurai didn't want to over represent his series.
* Dixie, Dr. Mario, Mewtwo, Roy, Toon Zelda, Toon Shiek, and Plusle and Minum were all planned for Brawl. Roy and Mewtwo were the furthest in development because their victory themes are on the game disc.
* Pokemon Character was originally planned to jump.
* Characters were originally planned to take battle damage.
- Cpt. Falcon's Helmet and Meta Knight's mask were planned to crack, while Link's sword and shield would show scratches and possibly break.
