[jkrohn99]

After the ridicuosly long wait, (Almost a year after Japan got it) The U.S will finally get SSB on Virtual Console, the link to the great news http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Virtual_Console_games_(North_America)
Scroll to future release, Discuss!

 

[Skrlx]

huh? are you talking about the release date or the fact that ssb64 is coming to VC?

We knew ssb64 was gonna come to VC in the states for a long time now but the date is still unconfirmed and that site says "Unknown"

 

[RPGsFTW]

I have it on the VC already lolol...

I kinda like using the GameCube controller with it. I just gotta get better at Z-canceling with it.

 

[jkrohn99]

how do you z cancel on GC?

 

[Mr_Hero]

how do you z cancel on GC?

L, R or Z. The controls are exactly the same as for Melee except the c-stick is jump. So taunt is on the d-pad, shield is on L or R, a is on A, b is on B, jump is up on the control stick, anything on the c-stick or X/Y and grab is Z. Have fun in America!

Man, if only they'd come out with n64 attachments to wiimotes or something.
If only...

Well the Smash 64 I'm playing on my VC has different controls. Z is taunt, R is grab and holding it gets a shield, L is shield, and L+A is shield grab. I ****ing hate not having a c-stick for aerial attacks. I really, really wish I could make it work that way.

I wish Z was grab and not taunt though. At least I'm used to how it plays on the GameCube now, though it's kinda stupid with the slightly switched around controls.

There's actually an N64 to GCN adapter http://www.raphnet-tech.com/products/n64_to_wii/index.php?category=Adapters

 

[Zen Yore]

i dont see why there's ppl interested in ssb64 on VC, when u can play it online on ur computer with ease for free
OR on n64

unless u dont have a n64 and wanna play with some friends, then MAYBE.

nope

i have lots of adapters and controllers so if i wanted to i could have friends play on the computer at the same time instead of the wii

EDIT: and if you wanted lagless teams you could have people connect their n64 controllers and play offline for lagless teams

Why on earth not?

Playing on computer actually has an advantage over console: you can play in HD.

how are u gonna play with friends IRL on a computer ? make sense please
thats only possible if ur near and have over 9000 adaptors/controllers/usb ports

 

[DMoogle]

1. Get computer, install windows.
2. Get emulator/ROM.
3. Get controllers/adapters (most computers these days have at LEAST 6 USB ports. Mine has 10 if you include the monitor.)
4. Configure everything.
5. ???
6. Profit.

Seriously it's not hard.

 

[asianaussie]

USB hubs exist too is you're worried about lack of ports. I played Starfox64 with friends a while back on a laptop. I used keyboard while three friends used USB controllers, but we still had 3 USB slots on a USB hub.

 

[NixxxoN]

PC smash > virtual console smash
but obviously you need adapters xP.

 

[Skrlx]

I'd like to point out lagless teams...


LAGLESS TEAMS heh

 

[RPGsFTW]

I'd be more inclined to play this online if I could get a Ps2 controller for my adapter soon. I have one, it's just being borrowed at the moment. =[

And I DO NOT want to use a keyboard, N64 controller, or an analogless controller.

 

[Thino]

prefer playing it online with mah bros

 

[MiketheMike]

Ive seen videos from people playing online it looks like it lags so dam much. Is that just the video quality or is that how its really like?

BTW, I'd look into this

It's either the video quality or someone with a ****ty computer.

 

[Zwarm]

I'm looking forward to this on US VC, because then I'll be able to play it in my school's game labs without having to bring in an N64.

Plus, I have a Mac, so I can't play online with an emulator. All I have right now is the original cartridge.

 

[Skrlx]

Plus, I have a Mac,

that's no excuse!

 

[killa k]

Where did you find those pics MiketheMike?

 

[Zwarm]

Well, sorry, I do have a Mac. I love my Mac, but I just don't know how to get SSB64 online, Project64k doesn't work for me.

If you know how to get it working, though, that would be awesome. =)

you can try bootcamp from apple's site to install windows XP on your MAC or use Parallels Desktop to run Windows XP inside Mac OS X or any other virtualization software like VMWare or Virtual Box.

Just like Wrath said, there's no excuse when there's plenty of tools on the internetz

 

[Zwarm]

I have Virtualbox with an XP guest, and I still get an error code when running Project64k. I also tried Crossover, but that doesn't run 64k, only the original Project64.

Have you tested Bootcamp? If I know for sure that it works on Bootcamp, then I might need to get it.

Good ol ebay. Type in n64 to wii converter or something like that. Only $25, i may check it out.
