Current Events > Was anybody else on the interwebs before the release of Melee and GameCube?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I was not here, but on IGN. I remember those days from oh so long ago. It was pretty hype because there were so many possibilities on the horizon for gaming. I didn't feel jaded about content yet. Super Smash Bros. Melee looked awesome as well as the rest of the Gamecube games.

i was a kiddo with limited internet access so no :u

No I wasn't even born yet.

Yes. I've been on the internet since '93 thanks to AOL.

I remember the Melee board here being crazy. Every Friday, the official Melee site would reveal another piece of the game whether it was a stage, character, whatever. We'd spend the rest of the week talking about it until the next reveal.

The most exciting thing were the leaks...although they were less common!

I remember I got a demo disc in the mail that advertised a bunch of GameCube game trailers before it released

Nintendo was literally doing mail advertising back then

A search for stuff on melee brought me to this site as a young 13yr old.

Same since 94.

Yes. AIM and other chat rooms sometimes.

Too much cyber sex.

Oh, man. I printed off so much shit about Melee there wasn't a damn thing I didn't know about it by the time it released. Pages and pages of information and screenshots I'd read and look at over and over again.

Remember pulling my friend over to the PC and showing him some screenshots of the Pokball Pokmon (Snorlax and Scizor were in this shot) and being like "Look, they're even fully 3D now!!!". Even had some in-game shot of Peach, Mario and Bowser as my wallpaper.

As I've gotten older, hyping myself up for games has been something I've learned to control but Smash is still able to make me irritable towards release.

That's awesome to hear! Smash always has that magic, it seems!
