Classic plumbing duet Super Smash Bros. was released on the Wii's service yesterday, offering up another slice of retro brilliance from their epic back catalogue.

The game will cost 1000 Points, we're told, which equates to about 7 GBP by our reckoning.

This classic revival will offer up 12 fighters, nine stages, and a four player co-op mode which could go down a treat.

We'll bring you all the latest on the Virtual Console as we get it.
