As announced on the Smash Bros. DOJO website, Nintendo is including several Virtual Console demos with the upcoming (and eagerly awaited) Smash Bros. Brawl!
The idea is that gamers can have the chance to familiarize themselves with the past exploits of the many famous Brawl fighters. So you can kick Koopa ass with Mario, hack and slash with Link or take on the Gods with Kid Icarus.
Titles confirmed so far are:
* Ice Climber
* Super Mario Bros.
* The Legend of Zelda
* Kid Icarus
* Kirby’s Adventure
* Super Metroid
* StarFox 64
Other games are thought to be included, but they remain a mystery for now. http://www.vc-reviews.com/news/2008/01/smash_bros_brawl_to_include_vc_demos
This is a fantastic idea and we hope to see more of the same in future Wii titles…but will we ever be given ‘trial’ downloads on the Virtual Console itself? Here’s hoping this is just Nintendo testing the water…
