Smash Bros. Mod Project Ends Development After Six Years

finally, if you want melee than fking play melee. people need to learn to quit whining about a game that is exactly like an older game. if you want that then go play CoD. the mod was stupid anyways :/

That's a damn shame. Project M was beyond wonderful, and it sucks that it's all gone. I'm less than satisfied with smash 4 (better than brawl, but thats not saying much). Just hope these guys amount to something great. They certainly deserve it.

To GHO5T-666 (sorry I can't answer to posts or else "an error occurred"...)

@GH05T-666:It works with PAL consoles (WII or WII U), you only need one extra manipulation, and you need to own an American copy of Smash Bros as well as a PAL one.

Basically, you'll have to use your PAL game and activate an exploit involving "Smashstack PAL" (which you'll have previously downloaded to a SD card) so that the console is "region freed" and you can switch to the US game.

In other words : yes the mod only works with US Smash Bros, BUT there are ways to read American games on a PAL console and make Project M works :)

Hope this helps. I wrote a whole tutorial in French if someone needs it.

Never even heard of this, but it makes me wish as a star trek fan the fan project under star trek excalibure would do what these guys did and just disband. They have been so called development for 12 years only to scrap old engine for a new one. Just kill it already instead of dashing our hopes more and more every year!

Would have loved a PAL version of this..

I swear the nintendo fanbase is the only gaming fanbase in the world that actually celebrates when fanmade projects get shut down...

I never understood the point of this mod...it was basically Brawl for those who didn't liked it when it came out and still wanted to play Melee...if you want to play Melee, just play Melee...thankfully Smash 4 is finally taking over this mod.

Good! It was unnecessary. All these entitled, whiny little Smash players need to stop living in the past.

Melee is still the best, though Project M is great as well. Both are much better than Brawl IMO. The Wii U version is better as well but I don't like the changes they made with the edge mechanic and it stills feels slow and floaty at times.

That sucks, but I understand. I really enjoyed Project M. It had way more balance in that Metaknight wasn't god tier like he was in Brawl, slow characters had a fighting chance, cool costumes and skins, custom music, ability to customize your Character Select screen, a lot of great things.

But with Smash 4, player base shrank. Especially since Smash 4 is a lot more competitively viable than Brawl.

Brawl, and your STUPID random tripping. Ugh... Thank you again, Project M. You where awesome.

Project M is what Brawl should've been. All the little tweaks and improvements they did to so many characters that felt bland otherwise (3 full-fledged pokemons instead of Poke trainer was just awesome,or the way you could change Samus's cannon between Ice and pulse with the D-pad taunt) anyway, that and the added levels all for free was simply just awesome. Ive had great time playing their mod with friends before moving on to Smash 4 and I want to congrats these guys for their work.

The concept behind Project M was cool... but they screwed with all the levels... and that was NOT cool.

Good Riddance.

Good. Jesus Christ. Brawl was actually quite nice, but having a mod to give it a hint of Melee was stupid. Sucks to hear that there are still people who live in the past--i thought only housewives were allowed to do that.

It's a real shame, because Project M was a fantastic mod that took the best of both Melee and Brawl and brought them together in one truly great package. It's sad to see it come to such a sudden end.

Still, I wish the best of luck to the Project M team. They're all really talented and dedicated, and I'm sure that anything they have in store for the future is going to be great.

Damn you Nintendo. This happens right after I made that Dear Nintendo post. This sucks ass. I need to find out where I can download 3.6 and fast

It's not too bad if indeed they are "satisfied" with the latest 3.6 version. However, it's problematic if we cannot download it anymore... I only have an old version. I hope 3.6 can still be found somewhere.

Project M was a beautiful project, my only regret is that I couldn't find anybody to play it with x|

I'll keep an eye on that Wavedash project.

So Masahiro Sakurai stands tall over Project M? He smiles while they are frowning. How does it happens? He hates Project M, so he'll make SSMB better than them!

Great reporting. Completely forgets to list the real reason they're removing Project M.

Here GameSpot. I'll do your job for you: http://prntscr.com/99d3xi

PSA: Unless profusely butthurt about something, when you stop development on your project you don't typically remove the project from being downloadable unless there's a legal reason.

So? What more work do they need to do for this? The game's over 10 years old now.

End of an era. Sort of.

My father works at Apple and can confirm it was a C&D for using their unauthorized trademark at Dream Land's trees.

They should have went out by at least making someone new top tier
