Plus: Cocoto! Asphalt 4! Sudoku 150!

Nintendo 64 classic Super Smash Bros. is being released via the Virtual Console today.

According to Official Nintendo Magazine it will cost 1000 Wii Points - around GBP 7 / EUR 10. For that you'll get a dozen fighters, nine stages and a four-player co-op mode.

Also out today is WiiWare title Cocoto Platform Jumper, as first seen on the PS2. There are 40 vertical levels to jump around and it costs 700 Points (GBP 5 / EUR 7).

New DSiWare titles include Asphalt 4: Elite Racing from Gameloft. It's another four-player effort, this time with eight cities and 28 cars, plus the option to customise your car with photos taken using the DSi camera. Then there's Hudson Soft's Sudoku 150!, a collection of 150 number puzzles. Asphalt 4 is 800 Points (GBP 6 / EUR 8), while Sudoku 150! is 500 Points (GBP 3.50 / EUR 5).

    Is there any point?

    SSBB is the pinacle of SSB games - anything else is just not up to scratch.

  • Agent_Llama #2 3 years ago

    Melee was the pinnacle; Brawl was more of the same and as such I haven't touched it since release.

  • Cid #3 3 years ago

    I don't think I could stand playing the original again. Too much has been added to the newer games.

  • Ignatius_Cheese #4 3 years ago

    I've been waiting for this to show up since VC was announced. Despite Melee clearly being a better game, I have pined for the original for years since getting shot of my N64.

    Pricey but worth it for a nostalgic-if-not-a-bit-basic fighter :o)

    they need this on ds

  • JonFE #6 3 years ago

    Thankfully I have some Nintendo points laying around, because my son will go nuts if I don't get this for him!

  • DFawkes #7 3 years ago

    I still prefer Super Smash Bros Melee, and I always will, but it's always nice to have the option of buying the original. Good stuff!

    I'm still hoping for a DSi Virtual Console though, so I can play this (and other N64 games that'd work with that number of buttons) on the move.

    I disagree - they all have different quirks and levels.
