News: An American release in 2009? Signs point to yes.
Nintendo Japan has updated their Virtual Console release schedule (link goes to Google Translate version of the original) and revealed that Super Smash Bros. will finally be added to the service in January 2009 for 1200 Wii Points.
There is no word yet out of Nintendo of America on whether or not we will be seeing Super Smash Bros. in a similar timeframe, but this news is a good sign that it will. Virtual Console games are typically added to the Japanese VC a few days (
Mario Kart 64) or a few months (
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link) before they are added to the American VC.
So it's entirely possible we could be playing Super Smash Bros. on our American Wii systems in a few weeks.
