    Default How was your Smash Bros launch?

    So did anyone go at midnight? I showed up at 10 p.m. and I was number 2 in line. I chatted with some high school kid about Nintendo games most of the time. It was pretty normal and quiet for a while, maybe about 8-10 people there, most of them waiting in their cars. Then at 11 p.m. pretty much everyone paid and took off. Then around midnight, it got more packed, and there was a good amount of about 40 people or so in line. I saw some kids trading in their PS2's to get Smash Bros. There was also someone in line who thought they knew everything about Gamestop and Nintendo lol. And of course, there was the angry, frustrated parent who showed up and just wanted to cut the line walk in the store and just buy the game lol. I got my game and strategy guide right at midnight in no time, and my game from Gamestop was shrink wrapped and not gutted!!!! I didnt expect that much people to show up. So anything exciting happen at your launch?

    No one near me had a midnight launch.

    Stores opened today at noon. I got there about 30 min early and was about 10th in line.

    Got my copy of brawl and a free Nintendo Wii hat

    My gamestop held a super Smash Bros. Brawl tournament! I t was pretty packed, there were 32 contestants including myself, all the matches were one on one and your character was selected randomly. I won my first match but then lost to a stupid picmin.

    My GameStop launch confirmed that I'm too fucking old to be waiting in line for a video game at midnight.

    Other than that it was fine.

    After picking some stuff up at the cycling shop, wandered into Best Buy at 3:30PM, went straight for the Wii stuff and picked my copy out of 40 on the shelf copies. No muss, no fuss, no mess.
