We, much like our friends at Nintendo Wii Fanboy, don't have a lot of substantiation for this rumor, but we thought we'd pass it along anyway: Nintendo Power has been speculating that Super Smash Bros. will arrive on the Wii's Virtual Console alongside Super Smash Bros. Brawl's March 9 release date. Similar timing was used for Metroid and Super Mario Bros. 3 with Metroid Prime 3 and Super Mario Galaxy respectively.
We understand those tie-ins, each of the new games are markedly different from their predecessors, but we have a hard time believing we'll be enjoying Brawl in March and wish that we could play a shittier version. But hey, maybe that's just us.

Uh whoa, are you trying to start some flames? There really are people out there who believe that SSB>Melee and probably Brawl. And it's STILL a good game.

Here here! I'm in the SSB > Melee camp. I just lost a little respect for Joystiq for that remark.

...Ha!
Always be ready with a slice of toast to cancel out the flavor of a new blend if it just doesn't work. That's one of my rules.
You should cancel out what you just said with a freshly toasted look ...at your life!

Brawl comes out in japan in like a week doesn't it? So March would be about right.

they might get more sales if they release this Virtual Console game a few weeks BEFORE SSBB came out.

It may be just me, but I think that they're forecasting shortages.
