''Super Smash Bros.'' was initially developed by [[Masahiro Sakurai]] and [[Satoru Iwata]] in their downtime, in a form titled  ''Dragon King: The Fighting Game'' ({{ja|格闘ゲーム竜王}}, ''Kakuto-Gēmu Ryūō''), which lacked Nintendo characters. Sakurai, however, felt that the game could not provide the proper atmosphere on a home console without a recognizable cast. Nintendo characters were soon added and the game was redesigned and renamed.<ref name=iwataasks>[https://web.archive.org/web/20080409211613/http://us.wii.com/iwata_asks/ssbb/vol7_page1.jsp Wii.com] (Accessed on 9-18-08)</ref> A few screenshots of ''Dragon King'' have been released, and footage of the prototype was shown on Sakurai's YouTube Channel, ''Masahiro Sakurai on Creating Games''.
