First it was Mario RPG, more recently the UK saw Swords & Soldier first, and this Friday  they’ll be treated with the  original Super Smash Bros on Virtual Console!  It’s not that bad of a trend though – we get just about everything else first, and hopefully we’ll see this one stateside the following Monday.

It’s not often Nintendo needs to fulfill special requests on Virtual Console games, but it would be nice if this particular N64 release didn’t require the Classic Controller or gamecube pad to play – being able to simply pick up a Wii-Remote and join in was one of my favorite features of Brawl, and I hope this simple control scheme can somehow be implemented in this monumental re-release.
