Original Super Smash Bros to be released (finally!)

smash bros. 64

According to Japan’s VC lineup site, the 1999 N64 game Super Smash Bros. will be rereleased this January. After a good 2 years of the virtual consoles service we can assume this will be coming to America shortly after Japan gets it. Evidence of this includes all but one of the N64 titles released in Japan. I for one have been waiting for this VC game since the Wii came out. I have no idea what they were waiting for, my theory is that they are just lazy. Take a look below:

Number of N64 VC games for…

2006 (last 2 months)-1 title

2007- 9 titles

2008- 5 titles

Of all these 15 titles released in a 2 year period all Publishers have been Nintendo. This is depressing for all Conker and 007 fans, they may never be on the VC due to licensing factors.

I wish Nintendo would at least be a little bit consistent with the amount of games they release on each retro console. What are your thoughts on this?

    one problem. on the n64, the c buttons where above the A and B buttons, but now the c stick in under the A and B buttons so it would be awkward to move your thumb down to jump, unless they modified the controls to make the jump buttons X and Y.

    you can jump with the analogue stick. The c buttons were pretty useless except where you needed precision jumping like jigglypuffs platform level.

    Well, I’m so excited to get it because it’ll complete my collection of super smash bros. I have melee and brawl. Except I wish they could’ve added more characters like falco or mewtwo or something like that. Another thing I don’t like AT ALL is that they don’t have mario’s cape move or fox’s ilussion fox and link’s arrow attack.Besides that when I was a kid I went to my cousin’s house and in the intro I always was scared of link on the cliff where he looks at you I’d always turn around. Anyway… ……………………… I NEED IT TO COME OUT SSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BADLY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
