What is NinDB?

When the Trophy Mode in Super Smash Bros. Melee was revealed at E3 2001, many of the characters in the video were unknown in the West. Self-confessed Nintendo nerd Mark "Fryguy64" Kelly sought to track them all down and log the findings on his website, Pocket Monster Island.

This research grew and took many unexpected twists and turns. Fry quickly spun this research off into its own website, Nintendo Database, which launched on the 28th June 2001.

Melee brought with it an era of Nintendo nostalgia, and so NinDB found its niche. Nintendo Database grew into a huge archive of information on every game developed and published by Nintendo. The website's extensive coverage of Melee's Trophy Mode, and discovery of many cameos and Easter Eggs, brought in a lot of readers.

By 2004, Fry was in full-time work, and by 2006 updates were slowing down.

The site was relaunched on 9th August 2009 on its new host Kontek.net under its shorter name NinDB. While it is no longer regularly updated, it is retained as a useful archive.
