Euro Wii owners: Super Smash Bros. available on Virtual Console tomorrow

At least a few months. Nintendo hates us here in the US.

I hate it when people in the UK complain about how every game company hates them. They got the DSi earlier and they have almost TWICE the number of games on DSiWare. They got so many other games that will probably never be released in the United States, like Disaster: Day of Crisis. They got PlayTV on the PS3 (although more because they've got DVB there, don't they) and that new music video service, as well as IPTV on the 360.
And we got...uh....uhhhhhhhhhhh...

We still have Earthbound while they don't.

Fine, it's not on the VC. Nevertheless we still have it.

Martin Greenberg: a big fat fuck you to you and all Americans complaining about getting anything later than us Euros. WE never got Earthbound, Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Legend of Mana, Valkyrie Profile, ANY Final Fantasy before 7, ANY Dragon Quest before 8, Xenogears, Xenosaga, and the list continues on and on. And the games that we DID get, we have always gotten ridiculously late, often reaching up to a year later in case of Square games, for example.

I laugh in the face of any American who feels any jealousy towards us across the pond because we are finally starting to get some respect from game companies.

AMEN !!

Keep on Preaching.

Because its the one that started it all

I understand what you mean but this game is still fun 10 years later and its simplistic enough to get people to pick up and play

The original was a day one purchase for me, went to my friends house and we played for 6 hours straight, the next day 3 of my friends went out and bought it. While Melee and Brawl offer more we still love and still play the original and its concentration on the combat not all the weapons and level hazards. We didnt care for Melee as we didnt like the fact that the A moves did next to no damage and didnt like the charge on the A moves that were added and they hosed some characters, while Brawl is alot better in almost all our complaints we had with Melee we still dont think it quite stacks up to the original. Nintendo needs to open its eyes to the possibility of using Wiiware like Xbox Live has done and release old games with new features like Online Play, Original Smash with online would be awesome!

You're largely right though I gotta say, there is some stuff in this title that there isn't in others, namely their challenges, which were good fun. Though at 1,000 points, you've gotta be sure it is really that much fun.

Plus, well, nostalgia.

God damnit why isn't this a reply
