This is absolutely bizarre and random. But it’s also kind of amazing.
“Sir Kirby” has modded Super Smash Bros. Brawl so that Hyrule Temple can be played in the game. Someone told him to do it… so he went ahead and made it happen!
Here are some photos:

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 3 Comments
Earlier this month, a scan appeared from the Fire Emblem 25th anniversary book showing an in-development photo of what was thought to be Radiant Dawn. Fresh information has since surfaced indicating that this was to be an entirely new title/experiment all together.
This mystery game was in development for Wii after Radiant Dawn had shipped. However, due to poor sales stemming from previous console entries, Nintendo and interior staff were trying to create “something new” and appeal to the broader audience brought in by the Wii and DS.

Project M closes up shop
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 212 Comments
Fans created Project M, a popular Super Smash Bros. Brawl mod, in hopes of changing the Wii title so that it would line up more closely with Melee. Adjustments were made to the overall gameplay, characters, stages, and more. This has been an ongoing effort since 2011.
Sadly, Project M is no more, and development is finished. A final blog post added to the official website acknowledges that the news “will come as a shock to many of our fans.” It goes on to explain: “We’ve spent six years polishing Project M, and rather than let it drag on through another several years of dwindling development and change-fatigue in the competitive circle, we’re going to consider our work complete.”
Project M was most recently updated during the summer. Version 3.6 came out in late June.
Head past the break for the full farewell message.
