[Wii] Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Makes me feel even better when I camped in front of Target for twenty three hours to get my Wii on launch. Even more satisfaction when I found out that Wii's were constantly selling out after launch and people whining.

Seriously, people (not you Strife) should stop complaining about not getting something like the Wii when they shoudl have gotten it earlier and saved themselves from this. I see this all the time on the internets.

I also like all the "OMG I WANTED TO MOD WII BUT ALL I CAN FIND IS D2C WTF".

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Well if you really want a Wii then you can always get it for a little less than 400 bucks on Ebay. I think I paid around $350 for a Buy It Now deal on launch day since after going to 10 stores and standing in 4 lines it was the only choice. Worked out very nicely for me so honestly getting a Wii isn't all that hard. You just have to spend a hundred bucks more or so and honestly you usually get an extra nunchuck and Wii Play now-a-days so it works out.

How ya doing, buddy?

I wouldn't bank on them being too available in the run-up to Christmas.

I dunno if it's like this everywhere, but at the local gamestop, if you pre-order a wii game and tell them you don't have a wii, you can put down $15 bucks and when it comes in, they call you and you can come and pick it up....

My friend got one after waiting a week :P

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

That's pretty nice of that place. I haven't heard of this before. They tend to just shove them out the door to squatters.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'll talk to my manager at the store: didn't know we could that legally with a game that came out.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Game stores can't do "pre-orders" on products that have already been released. At least at EB/GameStop, you have to pre-order it before it comes out, which is the whole premise of a pre-order. If you want it and want to be sure you get it, you have to do it that way. Otherwise, people will fight over who gets a console. They don't know how many go to a store, so its unfair to "pre-order" a product without a guarantee of getting it in the next shipment...or the next one...etc.

Just ask when they typically get them, often early in the week around noon. Stop in and ask. ???. Profit.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Well probably the only way you could nab a Wii at this point is to ask when their shipment comes in. When it comes in, ask if they can hold one for you. They'll hold it for 24 hours before they sell it off to someone else.

But if what Strife says is true, then that works also.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

The thing is though, the Gamestop I'm part time working at doesn't allow people to hold systems for $15, because that would have them lose sales.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I got lucky. I called late one night right after they got a shipment and they still had one when they closed. Picked it up the next morning (camped out for like 15 minutes before the store opened.) Also got an extra wiimote+nunchuck and rechargable thingy.

I'm glad "intros" are back, I missed them in Melee, and I hope Ness gets its SSB64 intro back (yeah, I'm positive about Ness return :P ). BTW the condor that the Ice Climber are riding looks too simple .

FELIPE NO

Yeah, I agree. The intros definitely give the game an extra fun factor. As for Ness being back in the game, I wouldn't get my hopes up considering all the Mother 3 references. Maybe some other EarthBound characters will make a cameo?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I think it'd be pretty sweet if they loaded the roster with more than just one Mother character though. Some Ness, Lucas, Starman, Bubble Monkey, New Age Retro Hippie and Carpainter action would be wicked cool.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I've got my posse in tow, Paula, Jeff, and Poo
Pokey watch out cause we're comin' for you

In other words, Paula, Jeff, and Poo would all make valid characters. :D

How ya doing, buddy?

I need to correct what I said cause I made a mistake. Here's how my friend got her wii.

She walks into the store, says she wants a wii. The guy behind the counter says that if she put a pre-order down on a wii game, they would put her name on a "list" and when the wii system comes in and her name is next, they would call her and she could have the option of buying the system. I dunno if this is something that the local one store is doing, but she put the money down, waited a week, got the call, and went and bought it.

Sorry for the misinformation.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I think Ness will make his return. Hopefully they do and they don't pull a Marth - Roy type of deal with them both having the same move set.

Swing batter batter, take a bat to the face
Mother fucker, ya sucker, I'll beat ya like no other
From Onett, to Threed, doin' what I need
To save the day and keep Giygas at bay
Skip sandwich deluxe, speed up my feet
Get through Scaraba before I die of heat
To the dungeon man, the brick road Mazedude
Happy happy town (What the fuck?), it's all blue
Summers, and Winters, Twoson, and Fourside,
Chill with Andonuts and the Runaway Five
I got my possè in tow, Paula Jeff and Poo,
Pokey watch out 'cause we're comin' for you!
So grab your yo-yo, and gun, we'll have a little fun,
Bottle rocket in your face, yeah you know I fuckin' won
Threw him to the curb stomped the little bitch's face
Made the fat piggy cry, yeah I put him in his place!
So I saved the day, and the world from devastation,
United for peace across the Earthbound nation
So back up, and shut up, and bow at my feet,
Ness is takin' care of business 'cause I'm fuckin' leet!

(How you livin' Big Myth?) I'm havin' trouble with my tribbles
Shit smells so foul you could call it double dribble
In fact make it a triple, got beef we call it mutton (Nice!)
Movin' through the vents A-3 and Charlie got nothin'
I'm a strapped-bomb, a verbal blitz vocation
I am patient with my rhyme scopes snipes like Asians
A rap vacation, a rhyme culimination
Puttin' words on the page like bird flu to asians

Hit hard like crack rock, they call me the shot doc
I'm stockin' like pet shops, I'm one of them red jobs
I'm pullin' to pom-pom (?), smuggled in bed frames
Two pounds of coleslaw delivered in red veins
They call me Frank on the roof, big man on a mission
Can't fuck with the truth, like balm on your fissures
Two rounds can splash and you don't like baseballs and facefalls to the ground cullin' like maze walls (?)
Now they can't stop us 'cause we're movin' too fast (Whoa!)
Enough sand in the eyes, turn the desert to glass
Hit 'em with a bat it's a nucular bomb detected
Infected, with the round meat rejected

Your fourth and final ally, master of the PSI,
Pokey's causin' trouble, and now he's gonna die
I come from Dalaam where the Samurai hail
I gotta make my master proud, and prove that I won't fail
These demons are attackin' 'cause I'm no defensive dude and HP's down to zero, but wait I got the food
Health's back again, Prince is back in yellow (?)
Oh my god, a critical (Smash!), baddies just got rocked
That hippie's got a toothbrush and a tube of Colgate
He'll blind you with those whites Ness, you better look away
I'll slice and dice with my Sword of Kings 'till the fat lady sings
Starstorm in your face (Whoa, where'd you get that?), Mu training
Runnin' through the cities with people talkin' witty from the dunes that are dusty down to ol' Saturn Valley
Pickin' up presents and stealin' monsters' money
'Cause that's how I gotta roll if I wanna keep my honies

Yeah, that's it. You don't get anymore. Fuck you.

Whoa, hey Earthbound, what the fuck is this?
Apparently it's a three-dimensional plastic case with a modern-day circuit board mounted inside with the sole intents and purposes of entertaining the modern-day audience of years ago but not limited to today (Say WHAT?)
Duh, but I never played this game
Sounds lame, but it's true, and it's an unfortunate lack of game-playing I cannot undo
But the cartridge is downstairs you DUMB FUCK go play it I say
"But I dun wanna mommy video games make my wee-wee tingle all day"
Curiosity killed the cat, and the cat's all fat (Meow!)
So I measured the dimensions of the cartridge and come to the stymieing conclusion
Five-point-five, by three-point-five, by one-point something, ah fuck that something means nothing
My chemical analysis proves nothing of hypothesis of which I thought up in the shower while I read Nintendo Power (WHAT?)
Ah, so I lied, but the fact remains that the cartridge is made of gray plastic, OR SO I THINK.

SHUT UP IDIOTS BEST RAP SONG EVER

I was speaking idiomatically.

Hopefully this will clear things up:

You cannot go to EB or GameStop and "reserve" or "hold" a Wii system. You actually have to go there yourself at the right time and get it.

Awww...so I can't reserve all of them, then sell the reserve spots to people? lol

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

To be honest, that comic had me laughing out loud. Can't wait for the game to come out, god stop releasing such good news. It only makes it harder to sleep at night.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'd prefer good news that bad news like "We're just kidding about all these updates...we'll only have 8 characters..we're just blowing everyone off cause we honestly don't care about you

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I actually really like the idea of a Donkey Kong level they have at the top right there. Just play DK and Mario (possibly Peach as well) on that level with probability of barrels at 100% and item appearance on highest. And, if you can make stages dynamic, have it change so the platforms are tilted at a later point in the stage.

Ok. That's a bit different. Though I dunno even if they allow THAT, but that's more of up to the store than the company.

As for the comic strip, that was excellent.

Yeah, I agree. It'd be cool to see some NES levels from various stages in games (Donkey Kong being one of them). For instance, how about a Metroid platforming level?

I was speaking idiomatically.

It'd be cool if they could do Sector X from Star Fox with the rotating space debris and what not
