Dragon King: The Fighting Game, (格闘ゲーム竜王 Kakuto-Gemu Ryuo), was an unfinished low budget 3D fighting game, and was the first in a planned series of fighting video games. The game was developed for the Nintendo 64, where it was to make unique use of the joystick on the controller. After deciding to use Nintendo characters to give it a more proper atmosphere on the Nintendo 64, the game later became Super Smash Bros., which became a huge success originally in Japan which was later released world-wide because of its success. And because of Super Smash Bros. being so popular, it had a total of five games released right after it.
