The most expensive project to date from Earthbound and 2nd party developer HAL. The sure to be smash hit has just been released in the land of the rising sun and in a week is set to appear in the land of opportunities (America).
Super Smash Brothers Melee is the sequel to Super Smash Brothers on the N64. Super Smash Brother games are famous for their high budgets, when asked about what most of the money is spent on the SSBM designer responded:
"It's not easy getting all the characters together, people like NESS is easy enough but Mario is such a busy man he's even working on his next major outing, finding time for him to appear on other games is not only difficult but expensive."
Super Smash Brothers Melee is like a movie with every Hollywood Super Star in it. Smash Brothers features a cast of many,
"Mario and co. are easy to get they come in a bunch you can pay an amount and get all the major Mario characters in one go which is why you find many Mario spins off's like Mario Tennis, Smash Brothers is different we don't just feature Mario and co. we feature every major Game star on a Nintendo console."
The most amount of money spent in this recent Smash Brothers incarnation is on the Zelda characters, previously Link was only avalible at a relatively cheap rate especially for some one who has such a Super Star Status but after Majora's Mask and Oracle Twin triumphs his price has almost doubled.
"Link is very expensive which is why we decided to pay the little bit extra and get 2 other Zelda superstars as well"
The other 2 Zelda characters are Ganondorf and Sheik whom can transform into the legendary Zelda herself.
"The most expensive game character meanwhile is Pikachu he alone is worth almost the same amount as the entire Zelda cast put together, Pikachu has managed to become huge and therefore can asked for huge wages, as a favor to us though his good friend Jigglypuff is thrown in for free but what he doesn't realize is that no body likes him but many other Pokemon are willing to make Cameo appearances as well which is a good pull factor for the millions of Pokemon fans out there!"
Cheaper game characters are undoubtedly the more skilled, Kirby whom is still well known doesn't charge a quarter of what Link does, Samus from Metroid charges more than Kirby but understandably so as he is working on a GBA title and a Gamecube title at the moment given him very little time to do anything else, Fox McCloud is the same Starfox Adventures: Dinosaur Planet is a VERY big project giving him little time to do anything else, they have to offer a lot of money if they wish for Fox to do any overtime. Captain Falcon has shockingly reported to of dropped in price, the F-Zero star was only really recognized when the original Smash Brothers came about and this gave him a new celebrity status, last summer he had just finished a GBA title but as he is grateful to Smash Brothers for giving him this new found popularity he is willing to offer his services at very cheap prices.
"Falcon's decision to ask for less money than he did in the original game was a big help for us but it paled in comparison to the extra money we had to dish out, Donkey Kong has charged more since his N64 smash hit game and Luigi no longer comes apart of the Mario package after starring in his own game weather we got him or not is still a secret"
The full array of Secret characters are to be unveiled shortly, Sonic is rumored to be in the game as well although how HAL even with their large budget could afford him as well is to be seen. Many other characters particularly those who are out of work are offering their services free for the smash Brothers developers. Andross who was reported, ‘Very disappointed’ after not appearing in Starfox adventures offered his services for free, as did Pokèmon’s Misty. Majora's Mask worried after getting killed off at the end of erm Majora's Mask made an effort to be in Smash Brother, enter Trophies the new area of the game features many characters past and present as trophies that can be won that way HAL can make everyone happy.
"The Trophies idea was so all those characters who came knocking at our door can be incorporated in the game, some characters wanted more though for example Tingle from Majora's Mask was desperate for a larger role so we placed him in the scenery on one of the arenas. One or should I say two characters who also showed an amazing amount of effort were made in to playable characters these are known as the Ice Climbers."
All characters prices also rose after they were told that a small platforming game was to be incorporated other modes such as the coin mode where coins are lost throughout a battle and those with the most at the end wins were done free of charge.
Another major spending point for HAL was the exotic locations they used in the game, the F Zero track was reported to be the most expensive as drivers had to be hired to speed around the tracks. The new Zelda level had a brand new location, "The effect of the moon moving was a smart but very expensive idea,” said a HAL employee. The new Pokemon arena also had a lot of time spent on it as well as the new Zelda Castle.
"The amount of playable levels took a lot of our budget trying to incorporate new and original ideas whilst keeping the old favorites, all I can say is that Smash Brothers will be brilliant, just as good as the last but with more modes, more levels, more characters, new ideas and better graphics all I can suggest is that you buy it and see what I mean"
And that's exactly what I will do.
