Update: Okay, folks. You should have your copy of the game about now, so head into the Wi-Fi section of the game and add my friend code (3179-5693-1348). Then, come back here and join us for some online play by hopping into our chat here. IRC fans, it's irc.freenode.net for the server, and #fanboygamenight for the channel. For those of you on the west coast, hop in when you get your copy. Something tells us we'll be up playing for awhile.
To celebrate the release of what is sure to be the go-to game for just about every Wii owner for the next lifetime, I'll be around to throw down with you all later on tonight. Many of you will be attending a midnight release (as I am planning to), so you should dive into the online multiplayer with me. Keep an eye on the site later for where you'll need to go and we hope to see you this evening. Happy brawling!

Yeah, I wish I could. I was going to go to the release tournament at Gamestop tonight. But we have two feet of snow fall in the last 24 hours, so they cancelled. Luckily, it's rescheduled to 2 pm tomorrow. But unfortunately, that means I won't be able to kick any blogger ass tonight.

Just wondering if anybody's happened upon any early copies of SMB anywhere. I was looking on Target's site and it says the game is available at a lot of stores in the KC area, but I'm sure that could be inaccurate. I'll probably go check just in case, though.

I want to brave the snowstorm tonight and try to make it to Wal-Mart, but we'll see how it goes. This sucks, too, because I took this weekend off from work specifically to play Brawl. It'd just feel like another waste if I can't get it.

I attempted to brave the weather, but it was too much. There are severe thunderstorms and flooding all over the New England area. I can wait a few more days to have it shipped to me since I just ordered it online today.

I will be attending my local Gamestop's Tournament (@9pm) and Midnight launch.
So after that, I'll be playing very late into the night.

You should host a friendly tournament next week once people have had time to get the game and play it a bit. I'd definitely take up anyone who wants to Brawl.

I found a store that was willing to break street date so I already have Brawl =)
Sounds fantastic, and it is, but it actually isn't that great because I've only been able to have one online match. I'd be down to play with anybody online tonight though!

What the HELL?!!! My Circuitcity, is telling me I HAVE to wait until Tuesday("the retail release date")
to pick up my copy and "the Overlord #2" can get his copy tomorrow at 10am(03/09/08) @ C.C.
Either I missed something or something does not add up here. Either way it stinks!

I will be furious if they make me wait until Tuesday.
Get them to go on the Dojo and see that it sells on the 9th and not the 11th. Then say, "Ha...dumbassess"(or don't include the 2nd recommendation =P)

Considering I have never played a single smash bros. game before, I look forward to having my a$$ handed to me, but I'll definitely be out with the tutelage I expect to be given.

A percentage of Wii consoles and Brawl game will have errors and problems.. Just a heads up. NINTENDO will make you send in your SYSTEM AND GAME in, which you have to wait 1 or 2 weeks to receive back. ** You can't just return the game back for a different copy.. Because it is not the game itself, and more of internal problem!! SoRRy guys!

Just got back home from my local Gamestop - too crazy for me to stick around for the tourney. Watch people play for an hour an have a one-minute shot? meh. I don't feel that lucky.
They said they had 220 pre-orders and 220 games shipped to them. Here's hoping all 220 aren't standing around when I go back at midnight!
