Nintendo Wii Fanboy

I started out with Dedede (who I really like) then I switched to Metaknight (who we meh IMO). I played with my girlfriend (who has never played a smash game before, so she lost interest because she wasn't used to it at all) and then tried out some challenges and SSE (Subspace Emissary). I even played online, but I was stuck with 1 person and two computers, so it was a little lackluster.

Overall, I'm excited about how much potential there is in the game. I'm reading through the booklet right now to see what I don't know already because I'm sure there are things I'll need to know that I haven't read before. I work from 12-4:15 (yuck!) so I'll just be thinking about playing for 4 hours.

Had to wait until the level 3 snow emergency went down to 1. Basically heading out the door to get it right now though!

Being from a PAL region, I am currently awaiting my wiifreeloader to arrive, and my copy of the game is going to be picked up for me this week.....so fingers crossed I will be playing by the end of the week.

has anyone had any experience with their wiifreeloader yet? Does the thing actually work as it says it does?

I saw a bunch of people buying our new shipment of Wiis and SSBB this morning when the store opened at 7, but not as many as I would've figured. It's probably because of Daylight Saving Time, though.

Just put it in my Wii. Can't wait to try it. It feels like Christmas knowing that a lot of people online are experiencing the same joy.

i quite enjoyed lucas. handled a lot like ness did but faster. but since i had to try out some cool new people i was using olimar and metaknight alot. heh i was thinkin olimar would be lame but hes actually not bad.

First guy I played was Mario... seems slower than Melee. Ike is cool - it's interesting to play w/ a heavier version of Marth/Roy. Pit is pretty cool too.

I'm probably getting it within the hour at gamestop w/ preorder. Too much snow to go get it at midnight. First character may be Pokemon Trainer because I heard he's good. Him and Snake just cause Snake is the shit. I'm probably going to unlock as many characters as I can in SSE. As of now, only control schemes for me are remote and remote+nunchuck. Still waiting for GC controllers to show up from ebay.

I just got my new surround sound copy of Guitar Hero Friday and when I went to put it in my system, I found that my Wii was completely dead. So, I'll be sending it on Monday for a factory repair +$82! I won't be Brawling for a couple weeks thanks to this. :(

Circuit City opened at ten, but my mom doesn't feel well, so no dice until 11:30(though she might say to let her sleep a little longer)

I REALLY want to play though...ill add anyone who will add me too!(Reply with a FC, ill check back later)

I'm a little behind. I just got Zack & Wiki yesterday since it was there ans it was cheap. I probably won't be getting Brawl for a while, but I DO intend to get and I have no doubts that it'll be one of the best things I've played in a while (coming from someone who loved every major Nintendo franchise release on Wii so far).

The unlockables are the greatest part. I played with an old favorite, Link, Snake is one of the ones you have to unlock. The Wario level is just like Warioware, you have to play some of the minigames. Pretty cool so far

I'm POed right now. I didn't think my podunk of a town would sell out so quickly, so I didn't reserve. Got to the store five minutes after it opened; they had sold out of their 60 copies in three minutes.

I'll be checking some other stores later today but I don't have much hope. Maybe I will have to what until the next shipment :(

Reply

i have to wait til tomorrow AFTER school to pick it up. blue laws have the store that i reserved it at closed today =(

Reply

I live in Brazil, so i ordered it today from a candian game store, i think it will take as little more than a month to the game to get here >.<
I could buy it here, but the price of games in Brazil is equivalent to 150 american dollars. Sucks to be brazilian, i tell ya

is anyone else's wii not reading the ssbb disc?
i get an "unable to read disc" error almost immediately after putting in. my system isn't modded, and have never had this problem otherwise.

Reply

haha yeah i'm in paramus aka malltown usa
in some respects the blue laws are alright, but not when you want to play a game like brawl the day it comes out =(

Reply

i'm going to the store today. hopefully they'll still have copies of it. the first character i'm going to play with is probably captain olimar (provided he isn't locked from the start) because his unique fighting style really intrigues me.

Reply

basically stores that sell "things" are closed. only restaurants and groceries are open

Reply

Mine is coming in the mail, but hearing about everyone starting to play already is going to make the next few days hell ;_;. How many people had disc read errors? I heard that was a problem.

Reply

good thing that I'm in an area with few people, and a preorder, so I didn't have to go and stand around forever last night (I hope)...

Reply

I have to wait until Wednesday of Thursday because of shipment :`( Oh, well, just wait for me, I'll kick your butts =D j/k.
I'll try the game with Mario, just to feel the differences between Melee and Brawl. Then, I guess, I'll try the new ones, and then I'll go Online >=D
I'm expecting to try the Stage Builder.

I got it on Saturday at around 3PM central time.

I went into town and bought it at 7:30 this morning, promptly spent the next few hours playing with it. Played through about 9% of Subspace Emissary and then messed around with battles.

The unlockable stuff is one of the best parts, I can tell I'll be working on that for quite a while. All in all, it's the great purchase I knew it would be.

Reply

wow. it's phenomenal. my only complaint is I still don't have sonic.

I picked it up at midnight and played it almost nonstop until 10am.

I spent Saturday playing what was likely to be the last I'd ever play of Melee with one of my favorite standbys, Peach. Jumped right into Brawl with Peach and won my first online match even.

Of the new characters I really enjoy playing as Snake and Olimar. They don't play as the average character and there's a bit more strategy to their move set, but it works well. They really do feel as if they were transplanted from their respective games.

As for controllers, I made that investment for Melee long ago.

Well, back to it. I have Sonic to nab yet.

I got my copy last night at a Best Buy midnight launch. We froze our butts off but it was still great (and we got free Wii hats & gloves too!)

When we started playing I was using Link, Samus, and Zelda/Shiek. But I've really started liking Zero Suit Samus, so she might be my new fave :D

Reply

you have to use your brawl friend code not your wii console friend code to add people to your friend list for brawl.
my brawl friend code is 5026 4095 7186

So freakin tired, played all night (literally) and got no sleep whatsoever.

So worth it.

Reply

I WOULD pick it up today, but this snow storm has ensured that I won't be going anywhere. My car in literally showed in by about 2 feet or so of snow!

Reply

Got mine at midnight at GameStop :)
