When I had my Brawl play session, I didn't go to Nintendo's booth. I went to an after-hours tournament for GDC volunteers, organized by my friend (and Wii Fanboy alum!) Nathan Mallory. Not only did I get to play Brawl for the first time on a huge screen, I got to see an exclusive, little-known piece of GDC culture.
I brought the Mahalo Daily video crew along to document the event and get interviews with some of the Community Associates. The video's up on Joystiq now. If you don't mind seeing the final Japanese game (and therefore possible character spoilers) go check it out!

Which skinny American nerd are you? I wish to pint and laugh...Joking....You'd think it would be the American version of Brawl to be played.
I couldn't find the video(my feeble mind gave up) but I presume you enjoyed it a lot more than me.

Nah, it was an unofficial thing set up by a guy who brought his Japanese Wii and game. I don't think I'm pictured in the video, but I'm not a skinny American nerd. I'm a little chubby around the middle. Also I'm short.
