Next month, Wii owners in Japan will be able to download Super Smash Bros 64 through the Virtual Console. Unlike most other Nintendo 64 titles on the Virtual Console that sell for 1,000 Wii Points, Super Smash Bros. will run 1,200 Wii Points. The extra $2 charge is Nintendo’s “We know people will buy this no matter how much we charge” tax.

Hopefully, Nintendo of America doesn’t pull this extra $2 bullsh*t when Super Smash Bros. is released over here. The $2 “tax” happened with Ocarina of Time over in Japan too, but as Spencer pointed out over at SiliconEra, Nintendo of America released Ocarina of Time for the standard $10. SiliconEra also has a list of some of the other Virtual Console releases for the month of January if you’re interested in seeing what we may or may not be getting over here in America.

Regardless of what happens with the price, I think we can all agree on one thing: Captain Falcon is the best character in Super Smash 64. Period.

After over 5000 matches of this back in the day with my friend, Pikachu is the best period

I counter your Mario Up A with Falcon's Down A for victory.

I'm not sure why I would do that, but I feel tempted to d/l it even though I have Melee and Brawl which are clearly superior in every way.

I signed up just to say thanks for including that video! I've been with fixing the parents' computer - so this made my day.

Luigi was the man for me, by the way. Of course - I usually lost.

The original game is the only one in which Captain Falcon sounds anywhere near as manly as he fights. Why is this allowed to persist?

Most of you missed the "period" in eternalplayer2345's comment.

He won, let it go.

I wonder if they'll add c-stick smashes since you can play it with the Gamecube controller now. I don't think I could get used to not c-sticking after Melee and Brawl.

Of course, this isn't being released, say, a week before Brawl. That would just be silly.

Quit that! Quit... tacking the "64" on retroactively!

Well, we all knew it was coming eventually. Shame that they're being so stingy with N64 releases on VC, though.

Um, no, Ness is by far the best character in the original Super Smash Bros. BY FAR.

Too late - Have Brawl, playing that instead. Super Mario Kart would still be welcome though (with 4 player mode? I wish too much).

Also, I think the lovely video proves that Kirby is the best: he's cute and can be whoever you want him to be (but not in such a whorish-sounding way)!

I already have it for the old N64, why would I buy it again? There is no reason for me to do that unless they bring a little extra feature to this game...
