Who the fuck is Ness

At the time his game was still somewhat new but not many people heard about it and a sequel was being made for the N64 so yes. It was a similar situation to Shulk.

Did Jigglypuff deserve a spot?

She was the second most popular Pokemon in Japan at the time.

>But for Smash 64, there were some features we barely finished in time, and the four hidden characters were created only on the premise of being able to reuse some movements and parts of the models of pre-existing characters, so in the end Marth couldn’t make it in.

excerpt from Sakurai about the hidden characters in 64

people say she was "literally near Pikachu levels of popularity" or some shit like that but shes in this game because she recycles kirby data. she DID have moderate exposure at the time thanks to the anime though

Did Samus really deserve a spot? Metroid never did get an N64 game made.

If not for smash samus may have stayed dead. At least earthbound had a sequel well into development. The next metroid game came out after melee.

did captain falcon deserve a spot. he wasnt even a real character, just an implied one in the instruction manual.

No. But he had a fucking radical playstyle, so I don't give a shit.
>>339260091
No. But at least she/he/it/whatever was amusing to play as.
>>339260647
Fucking samurai scams us with clones and reskins even in the beginning, what a cunt.

>Metroid never did get an N64 game made.
This still disappoints me.
Even if it would have sucked, I wanted it.

>Meowth could've made it in as a character
>64 could have been the first anime Smash
I'm still disappointed.
