So, did anyone buy this game?

 

I want to, does anyone know if Target is carrying them?

 

Yeah they do, my friend got his there today

 

newegg.com has it

 

Really?! I thought it was coming out on Tuesday, just like most other releases ...

 

GameStop had a midnight release yesterday for my hometown, my local gaming community went ahead and taped it as well. For a medium-sized city, the line was pretty long.

Perfect timing for them, as Spring Break has just started.

 

I want it, but I have too many games and very little time

 

ive been playing it all day, nintendo 1st party games just keep getting better and better and better. this game looks spectacular and runs very smooth. why cant any other developer make games look this good on WII????

this game is super addicting and there are enough different modes and playtypes to make your head spin...must own if you have a wii.

big problem though, thus far, the internet connection is spotty at best. i have a brand new linksys N router on a secured network, everything is set up by the book and the nintendo connection test is successful however the games connect about 5% of the time....very frustrating.

perhaps because the game has only been out for 12 hours? i dunno, either way, nintendo needs to iron out the problems with their servers or whatever. the game flat out does not work online at this point, anyone else experiencing these problems?

that issue aside, this game is awesome and the fun factor will last for a loooong time....so much stuff to do and unlock.

 

how are the controls? can you use a gamecube controller instead of wii?

 

controls are simple, smooth, easy.


you can use:

gamecube controller
classic controller
wiimote alone
wiimote and nunchuck

all control schemes are the basically the same.

 

!!!!!!!!!

Hubby, friend, sister and I all went to the gamestop and waited in line for about 20-30 minutes at midnight!

We've been waiting for the same since we heard it was going to be a launch title with the wii.

The game is great and we've already unlocked a few characters. We've tried the internet connection and it was alright.

Controls are good. Personally I like the gamecube controller the best (wavebird). My husband likes using the classic controller (SNES). My sister uses the wii remote alone.

Great game! It's def. fun with a bunch of people.

 

This is the best game I have played in 2008 so far. I have always been obsessed with the super smash bros. series and this one does nothing to ruin the already great gameplay while adding plenty of new features like special moves, great characters, and online play (which, as said above, isn't in good working order yet). But, prepare for endless hours of multiplayer!

 

My brother has said he's been having trouble connecting to the internet with the Wii. For those of you experiencing the same, can you connect the Wii to the internet itself or is it the connection to Brawl servers that are messing up?

 

Brawl is still a little screwy for me, however, 90% of the time I can connect to the internet with the wii with no complications.

 

How do you play alone with the Wiimote?
Glad to see you guys like the game. I'll test it out in 2 wks, after finals.
Maybe this will make me buy a wii?

 

Started playing, damn blisters haha...
its pretty badass.

 

i wish i can get it for my gc

 

you just hold the wiimote sideways with 2 hands, very simple.

maybe this will make you buy a wii? Look, at this point, the naysayers really have no more ammunition...sure the 3rd party titles are spotty at best and sure, its nowhere near the graphical powerhouse of PS3 or Xbox 360, but just based on the strength of the 1st party games out now, Wii is a must-own console for any video game fan. The system has not ONE system seller game but at least FOUR!! Any of which, on their own merit owning a Wii. Put all together, and you have months of quality gaming at your fingertips.

Super Mario Galaxy
Metroid Prime 3 - Corruption
Zelda - Twighlight Princess
Super Smash Bros - Brawl
(next month) Mario Kart Wii


simply put, at this point if you have not played those games, you are missing out bigtime. any one of those games may not look as good as xbox 360 games or ps3 games but will EASILY provide more enjoyment and fun than the vast majority of games out for either of the more powerful systems.

 

Galaxy is pretty trippy, and zelda is classic, mario kart can't wait.

I got damn blisters for supersmashbros, this is indeed a buy.

 

ive had the jap ver for about a month now. Finally great to have a version where I can read the menus. Now it's time to re-unlock everything.

 

got it yesterday from target, they had cases of them and the girl at the counter said they had sold around a hundred with a hundred left (va)

only played for like an hour, solo campaign was pretty fun, and did brawl with my neighbor who had never played, we didn't try online yet

overall pretty impressed, the best looking wii game i have played by far, and the controls are extremely responsive, i use just the wii remote, might have to bust out a gamecube controller to try it.

 

you def have to use a gamecube controller for this game. Using the wiimote just doesn't do it justice.

 

lol

 

Yeah, I played super mario galaxy! That came is trippy! I can't imagine how people play it drunk/high.

 

Its good but it takes a while to get used too. I still prefer the original for N64. Lucario so far is the best character I think.

 

yes, gamecube controller is much better than wii mote.

highly addictive game.. Subspace Emissary is weird, but fun in a silly way.

 

i need to get a wiiiiiiiii now~ -_-

 

yeah, same here. I'm looking to buy a wii, but best buy and walmart are all sold out. I saw walmart with a package for 600ish bucks!! That's crazy!! I'll start looking a bit more after finals this wk, and next wk.

 

If this game isn't highly addictive I will be posting my wii in the black market. Seems like I have never been able to get into games for more than a couple of weeks. I haven't played Mario galaxy since the first week I got it, same goes for zelda and metroid.

 

although the games mentioned are fun, I didn't have a reason to play again once I beat them (Zelda & mario galaxy), I'm thinking the same will apply to SSBB

 

Agreed.

It is more or a party system for me, it really only gets broken out for tennis/dr. wario/raymon rabbids 2/ guitar hero III when guests are over

I do however download all the NES games and relive my childhood. I still can't beat mario 2.

 

eric let me know. if its at best buy. i can use my giftcards.

 

I don't really see SSBB as a 1P game that I set out to beat. It's more of a multiplayer game for me that i'll always have around when people are over. Plus with online play there will always be people to play with. The past few days a few friends and I have been playing online (even though theres lag cause the servers are overloaded) we're even using vent to talk shit while we're playing since theres no mic for the wii

 

i got my copy last week got all the characters unlocked now im working on getting ALL the trophies and stickers this is going to take a while... i know there is at LEAST 500 trophies in this one.

 

I actually prefer wimote+nunchuk compared to the gc controller that I just bought specifically for this game and mario kart wii when it comes out.

 

Unlocking all those trophies are a pain, but i guess they made it so you don't beat the game in one shot.

 

I played the galaxy mode? It's pretty cool!!!

 

guess i gotta pick it up then?

 

Yess!! It's much faster, graphics improved lots, lots of interesting maps too. New items, and you can take more damage too! I really like it!

 

me too i like to be able to play with the freedom of having my arms comfy instead of having to hold them together to hold a controler.


I was talking with a co worker and we both thought that it would be nice if you could play as your Mii and have a create-a-fighter
