Super Smash Bros. coming to Virtual Console 2009

December 26, 2008 in News comments 14

According to Nintendo of Japan's Virtual Console site, the original Super Smash Bros. is coming to the service there in January -- a stateside release can be assumed. Good, yes?

Next month Nintendo will take a step backwards with the Super Smash Brothers series. The first game in the series, Nintendo All Star Dairantou Smash Brothers as its known in Japan, will be available as a Virtual Console download in Japan for 1,200 Wii Points ($12).

Gamers in Japan have to fork over an extra 200 Wii Points compared to a regular Nintendo 64 game for Super Smash Brothers, but Nintendo of America probably won’t pull this stunt. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina Time had the same issue when it came out last January, but Nintendo of America gave it to us for 1,000 Wii Points ($10).

    I imagine this would be quite popular and experience high rates of customers. Though I bought Super Smash Bros. Brawl for my Wii and will probably just stick with that.

    Playing SSB with the GC controller, yes? Would be funny. :]

    I don't think I'll download this one. It's pretty much just Melee with less characters, less stages, and less features.

    I don't really see why anyone would really get this while Melee and Brawl are there. But maybe that's just my opinion, though. People who need a trip down the nostalgia lane would probably get this.

      so why not this?
      Becuase you're better off not waisting your money and instead buying something you don't already own.

    I have it in my N64 right now, why would I want to spend money to get it again? I still remember the day I found out about this game. I told my mom I wanted Pokemon Snap everyday until I saw this game. I got Pokemon Snap.

      For the day your N64 breaks I suppose, if it happens.

      Both games were totally awesome. Ah, glory days.

        It seems like the older technology stuff I carry, the longer it lasts compared to anything newer. I don't see my N64 breaking anytime soon. *Knocks on wood*

    I wouldn't mind buying it (again). I'd hate to go through the trouble of finding all my N64 stuff. Plus I have 4 GCN controllers as opposed to 2 N64 ones. Also, I'd prefer having it all in one place on my Wii instead of in separate cartridges. It makes it more compact and easier to carry around.

    Might consider getting it. Well, as Wolverine said: when it becomes avalible.
