Item description
Super Smash Bros. Melee (大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズDX) is one of the most important Nintendo games ever released.
Story time: I was in Japan as an exchange student when this game was released. My friend bought a GameCube and we would hook it up to a TV in the student lounge. This was 2001 about a month after the 9/11 attacks. And this game was like a refuge away from the news, away from wondering if we would be able to fly home as planned in December. Just escaping into the colorful crazy antics of classic Nintendo characters. I don't think I've ever needed a game so much. But interestingly enough I actually have a hard tome playing it today because it's hard to separate from my emotions of that time both good and bad. Maybe that's also why it took me 7 years to list a copy on this site.. Oh, that got deeper than I panned...
It's a great game and you should buy it.
There is no need to know Japanese to play this game.
The game has been tested on authentic GameCube or Wii hardware and plays great. The photo uploaded is of the actual game I am selling. Make sure that you have the necessary hardware to run Japanese GameCube games before buying. This game will run on a US/PAL GameCube if it is modified or if you have a boot disc (of which there are many varieties including FreeLoader). The game will run on some Japanese Wii systems as well (later revisions removed GameCube compatibility so check yours before buying).
GameCube games will be wrapped in a removable plastic sleeve and then placed in a bubble wrapped mailer for shipping. Please remember, the games will ship from Japan so please allow some additional shipping time. Also during Japanese postal holidays (New Year's, Golden Week, Obon) orders will be delayed while the post office is closed.
