Wait a sec, why is Smash Brothers 1,200 points? I thought N64 games were all 1,000...

The prices are probably different in Japan.

In Japan Sega Genesis games (megadrive) are 600 wii points, N64 games are 1000 points with an exception of LOZ:OoT and Super Smash Bros Nintendo probably figured that it would sell like crazy anyways.

WHY ?

Both Melee and Brawl have evolved in a way that makes that game worthless. I do like some of the levels in the n64, but this is a game that is difficult to go back to. It's like playing Madden 1999 sure its similar, but why play such an outdated game.

Nostalgia and to have a console that can play ever Super Smash Bros game. So now Wii can practically play ever Mario, Zelda, Super Smash Bros and Metroid  home console releases.

I concur Flames.Part of the reason I got the Wii was to have a great amount of past games.Also to try out non Nintendo systems.

I still kind of like the original Smash Brothers. It has a certain simplicity to it which makes it appealing, but it isn't overly simple to the point of redundant action like SSBBrawl. The stages are some of the best in the series; it's a shame they didn't continue with such designs and went with more contrived arenas. Plus it is also the most balanced of the three games, likely due to the smallish character roster.

Melee still beats it by far, but the simplicity and slower speed of the original Smash is still enjoyable to return to every now and again.

I don't think any of the SB games make any of the others obsolete. I mean, that's like saying that one Super Mario Bros. game makes the previous ones forgettable, or that we can skip straight to Zelda: TP and be well off never playing OoT, LttP, or even the very first Zelda!

I personally think each Smash game, while very similar in fundamentals, has its own unique flavor. Brawl is one thing, Melee is another. And the original is a different beast as well. I don't see anything wrong with enjoying all three if you care to, and especially if you enjoy the delicate differences!

However... playing SSB on the '64 without an N64 controller... it makes me /cry

I've been waiting for Maboshi for a while, I think I still have enough points for it. I have some fridge cleaning to do.

Don't bother. Star Tropics is one of those games the internet is hyped about but in reality it sucks. It's a zelda clone with an island twist, the problem is they really are evil in the game.

Some levels it would go all dark and have many paths to water that would cause your death. Some secret passages will lead totally out of the dungeon and force you to begin again.
One secret path lead me to treasure and than I opened a door and walked into a pool where I died instantly.

WTF.  :o  >:(  ???  >:( !!!!!!!!!!!

Angry Video game nerd should review star Tropics, its a damn infuriating game. It's like they actually try to piss you off. Don't get me wrong I understand difficult games of the NES time, but this is game really is out to get you.

Waste of 500 wiipoints. No way I'll buy the sequel, if the original was this horrible I rather be kicked in the balls than play Star Tropics game.

I demand detailed Maboshi impressions.
Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

Star Tropics 1 is a good but challenging game. It's a adventure game mixed with a puzzle game mixed with some trial and error.

Trial and Error shouldn't be something that gets on your nerves. I'm sorry but going into a room and light goes out and I can die if I step wrong way, or if animal hits me into pit, thats BS game design meant to torture the player. The level was hard enough, they just added to the difficulty for no damn reason. Just imagine if Water Temple in 00T had a 15 minute time limit, from you enter the door to kill the boss. Don't like that idea do you? Star tropics is full of BS gameplay, t&e is one thing. Being cruel is another, and this game is CRUEL. Imagine Contra without Konami code, imagine zelda without saving. This game is GARBAGE.

Vega if you want a example of cheap and unfair go play deadly towers or Magician Lord.Contra is challenging but fair.You just gotta play well.Your example of Zelda:OoT isn't really valid.The designers aren't gonna put a set in stone time limit.Yes I know about Majoras Mask but you could have more time depending on how well you play before the dungeon.Zelda on the Nes is an example that is valid.If you play it for the first time the world is pretty big and theres lots to do.So it would take a while to complete.Not to mention the second quest.

Well I bought all 3, Maboshi is weird and interesting you have to get used to the gameplay, The pool game is a solid pool game with a lot of different game modes plus WiFi (Hudson always does online tournaments for it's games) and it's 5 bucks, it reminds me a lot of Wii Play Billiards which is a good thing, didn't play star tropics II yet.

Disregarding Mr. Adolph Vega's suckage at Startropics and various other blasphemies, Startropics 2 has one of the best soundtracks for an NES game.  It's really surprising what they were able to pump out of that little sound chip.
