“ Brawl was made to appeal to newcomers somewhat at the expense of some of the series’ most dedicated fans,” says Project M senior developer Corey Archer.īut the newer game did have its appeal, since it expanded the character roster from 26 to 97, adding more fan favorite competitors like Pit from Kid Icarus, Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid, and Sonic the Hedgehog. This might have made things easier for newbies, but it alienated hardcore players. But Nintendo thought the game was “too difficult” and changed things up for the Wii version of the series, Super Smash Bros. The four-player fighting game with an all-star cast of Nintendo characters quickly developed a hardcore competitive fan following. Nintendo released Super Smash Bros: Melee on the Nintendo GameCube in 2001. The twelve versions of Project M that the team released transforms Brawl into a game worthy of the serious tournament play its predecessor Melee plays. Brawl has received universal acclaim and commercially successful worldwide, and sold 874,000 - 1.4 million copies from launch day to its first week, the group’s mission statement was: Brawl was a terribly flawed game that needed fixing, and through mods they could mend it. Three years ago, a group of enterprising Nintendo fans launched Project M, a mod for the 2008 Nintendo Wii game, Super Smash Bros.
