NintendoNow: Master Hand Playable In Super Smash Brothers Melee

GameTrailers solves a myth regarding the validty of playing as Master Hand in Super Smash Brothers Melee for Gamecube.

[Jallen]

Shame I don't have a copy any more to test it.

[ia_studio]

shit my gamecube is dead, still have the game though.
does it work on wii?
I'm getting a wii soon, some games.

[BeaArthur]

You can get a new one for $30, probably less if you really shop around.

[Eric Barrier]

Yes every Gamecube title is playable on the Wii besides maybe a small amount of select titles.

[sikbeta]

I bought the Action Replay Max for GC just to play with the Mercenaries Characters in the Story mode of RE4, but then I realized how much stuff I could in SSBM, I remember Playing the Level 51 against G-Bowser, Ganondorf and Mew2 but it always crashed lol, massive laughs with the Pals in those days, Great Game...

[Theonik]

Yes it does. A small note though, you will need to have the memmory card and controller to play them, but i guess you still have those.

[Jls1]

cool ima try it on my wii but first gotta find the game lol

[SgtPeppers]

my friend told me a month ago he played as master hand.... I didn't believe him.

[dgroundwater]

I gotta show this to my friends! :O

[Spenok]

LMAO, those are my thought exactly. Ive been playing this title since launch....and theres shit like this STILL being found.

Mother of God.....

[Jls1]

lol made it to level select twice then it froze at now loading
k this time i made it and im master hand but i cant move with him

[Shnazzyone]

I gotta try this. Wonder if it is a glitch or intentional. Kind of shocking the game has had this hidden for so long.

[Dark_Vendetta]

It's a glitch (that is most probably why it took so long to discover).Also that's why the game crashes a lot when you play with the Master Hand, and the controls don't work as they should. Still EPIC finding!

[Jls1]

by the time i figured out his moves time was up lol putting it on survival

[TheViper]

I'll try this sometime soon on both GC and Wii and report back.

I'll have video as well.

[CreativeWriter]

Seems like it's always Nintendo games that have these kinds of surprise discoveries years later. Is it that people are still playing them to discover the secrets or that the Nintendo development culture is so insular that they can keep secrets for years?

[TheViper]

I'd say it's a bit of both. Nintendo is known for guarding their secrets quite well and gamers are known for playing Nintendo games for years after release.

[Jls1]

yeah it works on wii just seem like everytime after match it wants to freeze some of the levels u cant even see the hand. So far dk level is a good one cause u can see the hand and all moves.

[ThatArtGuy]

That's just nuts.

[TheROsingleB]

Awww damn. Going to have to dust off my copy of Melee and give this a try just for the hell of it, awesome :D

[RyuShinji]

I gotta try this!!!!!

[Redempteur]

not surprised ..zelda 64 held off a lot of secrets before devs gave them away

and very few people know the reward of doing 1 millions of versus matches in smash bros melee

[CountDracula]

WOW nice find!!!!!!!

(uses own master(-bating) hand to celebrate!) :D

[DaBadGuy]

My friends once claimed to be able to play as Master Hand, I didn't believe them. I've lost friends and loved ones because of this myth. My wife left me and took the kids, and after my Gamecube died is when the drinking started. It spun out of control, I got into weed then slowly moved up to Black Tar Heroin. I needed something to dull the pain. Master Hand has been my white whale. I always hoped there was a way to play as Master Hand, but my efforts were fruitless. But now, that hand has reared it's ugly head again. I cannot die until I play as Master Hand, though I had come close before. But now, i have something to live for.

[Redempteur]

i want to anwer "get a life " but since you lost your stable life already i won't ..

[DaBadGuy]

I never had a stable life to begin with, not since my daddy killed my mommy in front of me then made me hold her body in a closet until he came back with the milk and cigarettes. He never did. For 20 days I sat in that closet. The smell. I had to go to the bathroom in there. That, coupled with the stench of my rotting mommy made me vomit. I blocked it out, until now.....where's that damn needle full of hooker blood.

[tweet75]

this guy must have had some inside info

[TheViper]

I wondered the same thing. I can fiddling around with various button combinations in controller port 1 but this guy goes to work on port 3 AND just happens to get the timing down just right.

naturally he's not likely get the timing right the very first try so what impulse drives you to keep trying that exact combination, striving for that exact timing utilizing that exact controller port?
