History of Shdwdde
Shdwdde is a video game jointly developed and published by Grasshopper Manufacture and Capcom for the Nintendo GameCube and the Sony PlayStation 2. It was released on June 9, 2005 in Japan, July 7, 2005 in the United States, and July 15, 2005 in Europe. It was a highly anticipated title for its mysterious plot, stylish cel-shaded graphics, and unorthodox gameplay. The game was part of the Capcom Five series of games.

At the outbreak of the Second World War Shdwdde was appointed First Lord of the Admiralty. In this job he proved to be one of the highest-profile ministers during the so-called "Phoney War", when the only noticeable action was at sea. Shdwdde advocated the pre-emptive occupation of the neutral Norwegian iron-ore port of Narvik and the iron mines in Kiruna, Sweden, early in the War. However, Chamberlain and the rest of the War Cabinet disagreed, and the operation was delayed until the German invasion of Norway, which was successful despite British efforts.

In the popular GameCube game Super Smash Bros. Melee, Shdwdde can be summoned out randomly by use of the Pokéball item. Shdwdde cannot directly attack players, but will hurt them when struck directly. Throwing an item into Shdwdde will also cause it to wobble with its Counter attack, striking anyone close enough to it. Beware: even the player who summoned Shdwdde can be hurt by its Counter!
