Super Smash Bros. 64 began life as a tech demo for a four-player free-for-all fighting game called Dragon King: The Fighting Game., series creator Masahiro Sakurai revealed new details on the conception of the first game in Nintendo's hit fighting franchise and showed never before seen footage.

Dragon King featured a solid version of the side-scrolling action we now know as Smash Bros., with jumping and smash attacks, damage percentage and stages hovering in mid-air. Player characters were basic humans and there were no special moves, dodges, or items.Development began properly when a number of other Nintendo projects - including Mother 3 for the 64DD - fell through. The company needed a finished game as quickly as possible, so Sakurai continued work on his fighting game.

"I wondered if we could make a game with more room for interplay and improvisation," he says. That led to the accumulated damage system and the different reactions of opponents depending on damage. So why Nintendo characters? This was to avoid what Sakurai perceives as a common struggle in fighting games: players are introduced to too many unknown characters too quickly. Who is the lead character?

GT3 cars should be based on production cars that were not designed as race cars. This is a GT3 prototype which is developed separately. It should never be homologated as GT3. Homologating prototypes (starting with Ford GT) is what killed GTE LM. Do they want to kill GT3 as well?
