Would you look at that? The people in charge of the Virtual Console at Nintendo haven’t forgotten about the Nintendo 64! Nintendo’s Japanese website has just posted next month’s release list, and the glaring spotlight is fixed on Super Smash Bros. Of course, like the beloved The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, it will be available for a premium 1,200 Wii Points, but I think it’s a safe bet that a couple hundred yen isn’t going to stop anyone from buying the game.
Will it arrive in North America soon after? Maybe. I’m pretty sure I know a half dozen people back at my old college dorm that will snatch this thing up the minute arrives on the service. For everyone that is already content with having their old cartridge of the game for keepsake and a copy of Brawl for actually playing, the rest of Japan”s January VC release list can be found after the break.
