Super Smash Brothers Brawl is out.

Want.

Chernabog · 03-10-2008, 11:51 AM

Haven't played it yet -- I just bought 2 new games (ps2 games, actually) so I'm waiting till next payday

Beware- My son had been waiting for Super Smash Bros Brawl, we even preordered it, but it doesn't work. We had to send in the whole Wii and the game to Nintendo yesterday. The boy is crushed!!

Gary, who works with Microsoft, says they messed up big time. He thinks the first Wii's off the assembly line weren't capable of handling the new dual "something" disk (Sorry, i know no geek speak) so the machines have to go in for a patch.

They tried to send you a patch via the Wii but it didn't work. Gary said there are a lot of PO'd Wii customers according to some Nintendo board. He suspects it was only the first batch, that didn't have the right stuff, don't remember what he said.

I just know I have a heart broken child with no Wii and no new game!

Dual layered DVD writing. The laser and graphics on some of the early Wii's can't handle it.

Wow that sucks!!! I'm picking up the game today so I'll see what happens. The game didn't brick the Wii, did it?

(Played it last nite at a friends house soooooooooo fun!)

Cirque, when did you get your Wii? (Mine was purchased in Feb 2007)

cirquelover · 03-11-2008, 03:28 PM

I was the crazy parent camping outside Walmart with my 9year old son until midnight. So we got one of the first ones off the asembly line. It didn't break it, I made the kid check other games and it worked just fine. You should have seem his face when I mailed it off though!

The good news is Nintendo said they received our Wii and will have it back to us in 2-5 business days. So I've been trying to explain business days to an 10 yr old, who is very impatient!!

I hope yours works with no glitches, good luck!

Chernabog · 03-12-2008, 12:11 AM

Mine works, played for 2 hours on various modes (even got Mr. Gn2Dlnd to play lol) and no problems. Played online some also

How did you know if it doesn't work? Does it glitch up while playing, or just not load to begin with? Anyway, good luck with it!! It's totally fun, and let me know if you want to friend add me -- there's DIFFERENT friend codes for SSB than your regular friend codes for the Wii. Yeah, I'm serious :-\

It tells you of course in game, so if you want to play with a specific friend it'd just take a phone call of code exchanges. Also you can watch games and bet on characters, or play random games with random people. Plus there's regular smash bros AND a "storyline" game

Plus..... well there's a lot more too. It's pretty crazy.

Word of advice though -- it does NOT use motion controls whatsoever, so do NOT use the Wii + Nunchuck setup. It's ridiculously difficult. The best setup for me is actually the Gamecube controller, but it doesn't make cutesy noises of course when you choose a toon.

The sideways Wiimote works great tho too (I haven't played yet with the classic controller). Really fun game!

Used is only like 5 bucks off at Gamestop.

However, if there's games that you don't play anymore, you should get a Gamestop/EB games card ($15/yr), which entitles you to 10% EXTRA on used trade-ins, and 10% off used games, plus a 1-year subscription to Game Informer magazine. So it's worth it if you spend more than $150/yr in video games.

Of course, I have one so we could always go together and use mine.

Trade in a game that you've beaten or no longer play, AND get extra $4 or so bucks off the used price with the edge card, and you can get Mario Party in the $30 range.

They're also having a special right now (until the 16th) that you get an EXTRA $10 credit if you trade in two used Wii games. Also, there's a special right now for Smash Bros Brawl for $9.99 with the trade in of two select Wii games. Since I traded in two from that list that I no longer play, AND got an extra 10% credit with my edge card, I literally got SBB for $7.

Our Wii is on it's way home according to Fedex, the boy is doing the happy dance! Now hopefully no more disc error and we can finally play the long awaited game!

I'm hoping this means he will be pleasantly occupied and I can sneak to the neighbors for a pampered chef party.
