The game has already been shipped to some stores...you might be able to snag this early.

I can't believe we are not having some sort of event in the seattle area..i mean it is the home for nintendo america.

I pre-ordered at Amazon. So will they ship it so I have it on Sunday? I may grab a copy at a B&M and return my unopened Amazon copy if I haven't received it come Sunday.

I guess it's kinda sad that I've never even played Smash Bros....

I'm sure it might've been posted before, but Circuit City is giving away a $10 GC for all SSB preorders.

Me neither... And this is the first video game that Ive ever pre-ordered as well.

Didn't see this mentioned, but Gamestop is having a deal where you trade in 2 Wii games, and get SSBB for 9.99$ There is a list of Wii games, but definately a good deal.

Oh and great movie by nintendo, releasing the game on a weekend night , so kids/grown ups can play all night (read morning)

Circuit City is offering a $10 gift card when you preorder Brawl. You get the gc when you pick the game up.

I haven't sorted through the 8 pages of this thread so I'm sorry if it has already been asked and answered. Could someone tell me if there is a preferred method of playing this game? (what type of controller would be best suited)

No one's played it so I doubt that can be answered. If you're a SSBM die hard, then the Wavebird would probably be the best fit. I'm going to try out all the control schemes and see which I like.

IGN gives SSBB a 9.5

It's gonna be a drinkin brawlin mess at my place Saturday night at midnight!!!

Count me as another who hasn't ever played this game. I'm definitely going to check this out though, looks really fun. I guess I should have preordered it though.

What's the best website to order this game and get it the quickest? I usually don't order games online. Is there a website that will get it to me quicker than others?

went today to try and "preorder" it. the guy said they were sold out of their preorders!

I thought the point of a preorder was so that you can order the right amount that you need to sell? They guys said they only set aside about 15 copies for preorders and the rest are for first-come, first-serve. I wasted a trip so I went home and preordered it online and got the $10 GC too.

Gamestop.com has a coupon for free next day shipping on this that I used a few weeks ago. I'm on my way out right now, but I'll find it when I get home in the morning if no one has posted it by then.

that sounds great. if anyone knows it or can find it i would appreciate it.

Even with next-day shipping, since it won't ship until Monday, you won't get it until Tuesday. So why get it online when you can waltz into any store and pick it up for yourself on Sunday? No need to pre-order either, as stores like Best Buy will have thousands of copies.

It's dead here, so I'm able to get online a bit, the code is NINTENDO

I have no problem waiting a day or so for a game, since my days off are Wednesday and Saturday. If I can get it by then for the same price without having to put up with the crowds I gladly will.

What crowds? Have you been to a Best Buy recently? They are deserted - apparently, we're in a recession...

Does anyone know if Toys R Us is running a special for SSBB?

Now maybe not, as it seems like BB's gotten in and will be selling a bunch of Wiis on Sunday to go along with SSB's release.

It'll be 49.99 there with the option of getting one of six Wii games at half price. The six games are:

Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games ($50)
Bee Movie($40)
Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 (i think $40)
Zack and Wiki ($30)
The Spiderwick Chronicles ($50)
MySims ($50)

(Credit to MidnightMetal at CAG)

That's a great deal to snag Zack&Wiki for $15 for anyone that hasn't played or bought it yet.

Does that include pre-orders as well?

What's this obsession with pre-orders? Gamestop's really done a number on you guys. They might be sold out, but I promise, places like ToysRUs will have plenty of copies to go around.

For a game with this anticipation, I don't want to chance it. PLus I can get it at midnight at GS, but not until the next day at TRU, BB or CC. For the same cost as other places, GS can have my money for this one.
