Super Smash Bros... on Game Boy?

Can it be?! There was a Super Smash Bros. game on Game Boy? Well... not quite, but if there were, it probably would play a lot like this fan-game, Super Smash Land, which is finally completed and available for download, today!
From the sound of things, this game is meant to look, sound, and play exactly like if Super Smash Bros. were on the Game Boy. It takes a lot of cues from across the series, and most notably from the original Super Smash Bros. for the N64. The most interesting thing is, despite it's VERY small roster of 6 characters (further cementing it as a rather accurate hypothetical port of the series to the original Game Boy), it still manages to deliver surprises in the form of playable characters like Vaporeon and even Capcom's flagship character, Mega Man!

This could be an interesting game to tide you over just a little bit for the eventual Wii U release of the fourth Smash Bros. console game. And speaking of Mega Man... who knows? I wouldn't get my hopes up about his inclusion in that game, but it is interesting that in a somewhat recent interview, Yoshihiro Ono said that Mega Man would fit Smash Bros. very well. And this was after the interviewer asked him about possibly including Ryu in the game. For those of you that aren't aware, Yoshihiro Ono is the current producer of all the Street Fighter games, so for him to shoot down Ryu in favor of Mega Man is actually a pretty good sign, but again, with all that's been going on lately at Capcom, I wouldn't hold my breath, either.

So, anyway, if you'd like to download and play Super Smash Land, go check it out at its site: [link]
