N64 Super Smash Bros Released on Virtual Console

Rejoice Smash Bros. fans! The title that started it all, the original Super Smash Bros. on the Nintendo 64 has today been released on the Australian and European Virtual Console. The classic title will set you back 1000 Nintendo Points.

Super Smash Bros. was introduced on the Nintendo 64 in 1999, originally planned exclusively for a Japanese release, but was released worldwide after millions of Japanese sales. 8 characters were available from the get go, with 4 more available to be unlocked, all of which were created by Nintendo or one of it's second party developers. The original playable characters were Mario, Link, Donkey Kong, Samus Aran, Kirby, Fox McCloud, Pikachu and Yoshi. Luigi, Captain Falcon, Jigglypuff and Ness could all be unlocked to round out the list, King Dedede, Bowser and Princess Peach were originally intended to be playable characters but were removed due to time constraints. Check out our Super Smash Brothers Series Guide for more information.

Pretty cool news, finally people can play it here if they don't have an N64.

Wow, King DeDeDe missed out on two games.

I remember reading the article on GoNintendo a couple days ago. But it would've been released today, along with DSiWare.

Guys, please, don't get upset, i'm a SSB fan just like all of you but i just have an "opinion" to "share" ok? *looks out of the mouse hole to ensure wild-domestic cats are not at bay*

Now, will you guys actually get hyped and buy this for 1000npts at that?
Like yeah it started it all and was awesome in its time but you guys'll play it once or twice then you WILL leave it hanging!

SSBM is the best out of all 3 (to ME)! It has a more stabled fighting gameplay and, i'm sorry, it just "feels" more skilled-based. Again and again, i say ssbb is an awesome idea with online added, stage builder (which i never use), and all these new added features (which i never use) but the MAIN feature was a fail... online gameplay!
Also the game in general felt like SSBM but set to 2:5 or something...

continued....

Like the dudes who made it even were video previewing it saying that "basically", in other words, n00bing-ish it up for the new-audience, and... well we all know that long boring story (milking games up so new-audience can fit in with so-called "hardcore" so nintendo gets big-boy investments)...

But yeah SSBB obviouly has "it's" skill that it's got going on, but SSBM is just PURE skill!... i can pull of moves so accurate, precise, estimated perfectly and could hardly be "touched" in a match (i've played MANY dudes guys...).

On SSBB i feel like i'm on ice (think of links in windwaker when running on the ice island), and ON TOP OF THIS, i try to sync in with the lag which is such a nuisance... resulting in my winning & losing ratio 50:50.

Don't get me wrong, for a "while" in a brawl (in ssbb), my opponent like can't touch me (putting all my ssbm skills in) but then it goes and it's just anyones game again.. i know you have to play brawl different to melee, but it's hard to "convert" my skills because of the "feel" of ssbb... not the "controls", just the "feel" (ice thing & lag).

continued...

so basically SSB was great... SSBM was EXCELLENT and "evolved" (gameplay) from SSB... then SSBB "is" epic-ish, but evolved (on terms of graphics and added features), but for ME, messed-up the gameplay "noticeably".

I know you guys are gonna really get me and call me noob, troll, and every name under the sun but what i want for us ALL is:

TMNT: Smash Up to be the cure for SSBB's flop!

Better online- online quality, better/reputable online features, more online modes, a "worked-around-friendcode system, and wii-speak.
Als would be my DREAM to see some SSB speacial unlockables in there... this_=_EPIC!!

Flame me all you want but i DO love Smash Bro's!!!!

s14n, that all seemed rather unnecessary. I will be completely honest here: I had no idea WTF that had to do with the release of SSB in the virtual console.

Regarding SSB64, nobody cares who thinks what is better out of the two sequels, and I don't mean that in a negative way. Let's just be happy that we can play all three titles now without having to switch consoles, and get on with our smashing.

You have to complete the single player all in one sitting, but it only takes a few minutes to get to Master Hand. It's really a single player game.
