Super Smash Bros. sparring on Japanese Virtual Console in January

"B-b-b-but I don't live in Japan!" We know, dear reader -- despite the fact that a
great deal of the world's population takes up residence in the Land of the Rising Sun, we understand that there are plenty of those who don't. This second group likely just thinks we're taunting them with the information that
Super Smash Bros., one of the most requested titles for the Virtual Console,
will be landing on the service in Japan sometime in early January.
However, take solace in the fact that
this might mean that it'll be hitting North American e-store shelves sometime soon. Let's just hope that our price for the game doesn't mimic Japan's -- 1,200 points (as opposed to the usual 1,000 for an N64 game) is
ridiculous, and we absolutely would not pay it. Well, maybe we'd pay it, but we definitely wouldn't feel good about it. Fine -- we'd probably be ecstatic, but we'd totally pout for like, a minute or two. Take that, Nintendo!
