My VC Predictions For Tomorrow

It seems like we are always posting other people’s predictions of what is to come. I think its my turn to look into my crystal ball and pull out a prediction for tomorrow’s VC release. With Super Smash Bros. Brawl a week away, everyone rejoice, it seems like a good prediction to say that Super Smash Brothers 64 will be coming out tomorrow. A week before Galaxy came out Mario 3 was released. A Week before Metroid Prime 3 came out, the original Metroid was released. I think if Nintendo waits until next week or the week after, to release SSB 64 nobody will buy it. Why would they when they have Brawl? A lot of people are excited and hyped up for some Brawl time; if Nintendo released SSB 64 now people would eat it up. Well, enough of my ramblings. What do you think?
