Rather than show off the ultimate game meant for hardcore Nintendo fans at the time during their main E3 press conference, Nintendo decided to unveil the sequel to Super Smash Bros. Melee behind closed doors. In this video, the audio has been replaced (courtesy of 4colorrebellion.com) with that of the sounds that came from that exclusive room, where members of the press first learned of Pit’s entry into the ring, Wario’s gaseous attack, and the extended invitation for Solid Snake himself to enter the battle.
Of course, you absolutely remember the floodgates that opened up, now that third party characters were a possibility in the exclusive Nintendo fighter. Luckily, it led to the inclusion of one more third party character that would end a bitter, 17-year rivalry.
