Official Super Smash Bros. Brawl Thread (OUT NOW!)

[64Bits]

Who else got a call from automated GS for a preorder saying the game would be available...

ON MONDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Normally, people know I'll defend GS/EB for a lot of stuff, but this is just plain WRONG.

This is probably due to the automated voice service being wrong, or not being setup to allow the message to say Sunday.

I sold my wii a few months back (january?) I kinda want it back now (for this and wii fit and mario kart) maybe I'll pick one up later this summer or something I dunno. My store has 9 wii in stock for a sale sunday when this game launches should be a good sale day for once can't wait

My Wii number is 7930 3418 8173 2631. Feel free to add me to your Wii and give me your Wii code. I'll be getting this game at midnight. It is really shaping up to be a great game. Can't wait.

Whoa, so what's this shit about Brawl not working on some Wii's?

[udisi]

I had to do a system update when I first put it in, but after that it worked no problem. Early impressions is that the characters seem more balanced , and there sure is a lot of stuff going on...on screen. Items, backgrounds, and moving stages, but it seems a lot of the classic stages are available, and this custom stage builder sounds neat.

Is the update from the disc, or do you get it online?

I just came from a Gamestop Tourney. I was just an observer but all I can say is HOLY COW. This game was made for Nintendo Fans, and anyone who has liked the previous ones will be blown away. The tourney I went to was well ran, and most of all people were having fun. The graphics on this game are bright and colorful. Most of all, I saw this game on a 40 inch Samsung and it looked beautiful. This is THE MUST HAVE multiplayer game for the Wii. I did not see it going online, but I am sure that it will play fine. The lack of voice chat is understandable, and I bet was a protective move. When gems like this come out, the crap about the lack of quality games for the Wii begins to shrink for me. And to think that next month is Mario Kart. Crap I am behind.....

I'm not sure, I have wii connect 24, so it could have been either. What happened to me, was I put the game in, powered on, and when I went to select the disc channel is was greyed out like there was no game in. When I clicked it, it said their was a Wii update needed, and I could choice to upgrade or turn off the wii. I chose to upgrade, got the typical status bar, took about a min, the system reset and everything was cool.

I also heard about the game not working on some Wii systems. I had the game seem to hang on me for a moment between loading screens which had me sweating a bit, but everything turned out cool.

I thought my local GS would have a few copies left after the preorder, but noo they had to be sold out...should have preordered this instead of arcana heart.

[blissfulnoise]

I've been playing since a little after midnight. This game, without a doubt, features more targeted fan service than any game before it. The amount of stuff crammed into the game is ludicrous.

Just the in-game music test is worth the $50.

Nintendo knocked this one totally out of the park.

I can't say "game of the year" without waiting out some of the inevitably unbelievable games that are due in the coming months, but this game will certainly be in the running come January.

Don't sweat it. Buy one of the literally 1000's of copies each Best Buy, Target, Walmart, etc. has. This game is the exactly opposite of "hard to find". I haven't seen such massive displays for a game since Halo 2/Halo 3.

[kainemaxwell]

Nice to see it was worth all the delays then afterall.

[8-bitNesMan]

This game is EPIC! Thank you Big N for making it worth the wait. Would say more, but I gotta get back to this gem of a game 10 out of 10, 5 stars, and two thumbs up!

[Overbite]

its hard to tell if a game is going to be epic or the best thing ever when its only been out a few hours

[Trumpman]

Gah. I don't get home from college until next Friday and my brother and I share the Wii. I don't think I can last another week without this game. (Although we have midterms so it's probably a good thing that I can't play Brawl lol)

[Oobgarm]

It's fun, but there's just SO MUCH stuff going on at times, multiplayer matches can get confusing pretty quickly. And some of those levels aren't made to be played on smaller displays.

[Gamingking]

I'm loving the game. A friend is over playing it at the moment, I'm glad it's released finally.

[Neil Koch]

Haven't played it too much yet, but I'm really digging it so far. My only complaint is that the save file is huge; I had to delete a few VC games from my HD to be able to play the game.

[Streetball 21]

Am I the only one, or is anyone else having trouble with wi-fi matches? I either get timed out, or cant find anyone to play with.
