Next month, Wii owners in Japan will be able to downloadSuper Smash Bros64 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 whenSuper Smash Bros.is released over here. The $2 “tax” happened withOcarina of Timeover in Japan too, but asSpencer pointed out over at SiliconEra, Nintendo of America releasedOcarina of Timefor the standard $10. SiliconEra also has a list of some of the other Virtual Console releases forthe month of Januaryif 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 inSuper Smash 64. Period.
