VC Tuesday: Japan celebrates Super Smash Bros. Day

by JC Fletcher on Jan 20th 2009 9:00AM

The day is finally here! Well, not here here. But there are people in the world playing vintage Super Smash Bros. on their Wiis right now, and we declare that to be boss. They're paying 1,200 Wii Points for the privilege, but Japanese Wii owners have probably forgotten how much Nintendo 64 games are supposed to cost on the Virtual Console anyway.

Poor Champion Wrestler is doomed. This just isn't the week for another 4-player competitive fighting game starring at least one vintage game character (Rastan Saga's title character, in the Ultimate Warrior-esque guise of "Miracle Rastan").

Nintendo All-Star! Dairantou Smash Bros. (Nintendo 64, 1-4 players, 1,200 Wii Points)
Champion Wrestler (PC Engine, 1-4 players, 600 Wii Points)

There's no competition between the VC and WiiWare this week. Here's Japan's WiiWare lineup:

Nothing (Just Play Smash Bros., Seriously)

I wonder how many people have 4 GC controllers to pull it off? They're still hard to find in my neck of the woods.

Or, in my case, have two VC controllers and two GC controllers. If for just the times experiences like this come along :-P

Woods don't have necks, silly rabbit!

But I'm curious: where on this planet Irf can not you find ye humble Gamecube controlio stick?

B St. C

Well, _we_ have four GC controllers (2 are wavebirds, what??) because we had a Gamecube, but I was under the impression that GC controllers are harder to find than ever, an impression reinforced by the absence of any at any of my local electronic stores.

If somebody knows something I don't, post it so I can run out and fetch me two more Wavebirds!

I still find them on Amazon

Can't wait for the US release.

BTW: You can still get GCN controllers from Nintendo's online store (http://tinyurl.com/98wkyz) or the Nintendo World Store if you're close to NYC. I bought a cube controller there for SSBB last summer.

I find it easy to get 3rd party controllers for the GC. Well at least here in Europe.

In America, please.

This is totally not fair.
I want SSB!
And since when do they have PC engine games? If I could reccomend a game for that, CARNIVORES 2!!!!!

Dude, ever since I was four and eyeing that original Super Smash Bros game case, only to be dragged away from it's epic gloriousness, I've just been begging to play it in a way other than sucky ROMs. If it isn't released to the VC in America, I might explode.
