Original Super Smash Bros to hit Virtual Console in January 09.

I honestly can't remember when the last Nintendo 64 game came out on the Virtual Console (it was around May 2008 or something), so it's about freaking time Nintendo have decided to release a new one to the world, and surprisingly, it's one of the most praised Nintendo 64 games in existence. Super Smash Bros. will be coming out on the Virtual Console (in Japan) during the new year period. However, the game has been hit with a price of 1200 Wii Points.

Before we jump to conclusions, let's not forget that Japan released The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for 1200 Wii Points, yet the other regions released it for the standard 1000. Here is the full list of Virtual Console games to release in January 2009 in Japan.
