In January of 1999, Super Smash Bros. was released as a Japan-only Nintendo 64 game. Due to its huge success in Japan, Nintendo decided to release the game outside of Japan. Selling over 4.89 million copies worldwide, Super Smash Bros. quickly became one of the most successful Nintendo 64 games.

Some characters that were in Melee have unfortunately not returned this time around. The characters that are absent aren
