The Wii Fit Trainer Weighs In!?

One thing we'll readily admit about the Super Smash Bros. series is that it gets away with being completely daft and nonsensical.

It's a LEGO Wolverine, at last

Now go virtually play outside!

Back in the days of the GameCube Animal Crossing, when friends swapped memory cards and Tom Nook in a sweater vest was only a vague wisp that haunted the edges of our dreams and/or nightmares, players could find virtual NES consoles that contained emulated classics such as Pinball and Balloon Fight.
