I got the game on the canadian launch(same as american) and I continue to play it regularly to this day. There is just so much to do!

u guys think brawl is addicted?

I dont think it was all hype. I do believe that it was worth the wait too. The only setback that i saw, though, was unlocking characters. They made it way easier and faster, and where's the fun of no true challenge?

For someone to state that Brawl, or any game for that matter is just "hype" is a personal opinion, so I would appreciate if you wouldn't address that group of people as "the Americas."

I don't know what points your using to fuel your argument Budge, but all the hyped games I have seen in the past have done well. Halo 3 was super hyped to a level where it becomes hard to explain with words and that game great among fans and critics. And among most people I talked to or played brawl with, it lasted them for large amounts of time and they didn't want to put it down.

My brothers and I played the games for months on end, until our disc got destroyed xD

Honestly, this article doesn't make much sense. Most people know that Brawl is an amazing game, and that people will be playing it still for the next 3+ years. As far as the people who dislike it, it's all a matter of personal opinion, as is everything you stated Budge.

Regardless, I agree with you that Brawl is an amazing game, and if you haven't played it, you should burn your hair off, all of it.

Yeah I guess you right that it not all that good because here my good reasons why but still yhou got to give credit for Nintendo to get it to the top ten games:

1.Characters have up to 5 moves only- for my opinion like Super Mario,Zelda,Metroid,Fire Emblem and many more game series like how come in their own game they have more than 5 moves but in Smash Bros series, they have 5 moves in total per character but serious they characters on Smash Bros got more moves than that really only in their own game.
2.Same characters with no upgrade moves-take super mario for instead,in Smash Bros he got 5 moves and here the names for them moves.
Super Mario`s moves in Smash Bros. series:
1.fireball
2.cape(reflect oppent to their faced the other way)
3.super jump punch
4.f.l.u.d.d
5 mario finale

plus in Smash Bros 2 the melee their a move ,mario got but didn`t bring it back to smash bros 3(brawl) so instead the 4th move above fludd was replace

But come on,there so many moves in Super Mario History that Nintendo didn`t bother to remember or bring back but instead they left it in the past,well actually brought back half of his moves to smash bros.
All Super Mario`s power-ups:
Giga mushroom(go super big and run and charge to attack enemies)
Fireball
small mushroom
life mushroom( bring mario back to life at least put it on Smash Bros and make them rare for other players to get these).
star
tiny mushroom
cape(fly high and do tricks in the air)
ghost mario
jumping spring
ice mario
metal mario
shell mario
mario the yoshi rider
kuribo`s shoe
hammer mario
raccoon mario
bee mario
wing-caped mario
frog suit mario
tanookisuit mario
magic flute(randomly warp to different levels,if it was on SSB series,in single player we could skip the level we in now and go to the next level,just like super mario bros.3
jugems cloud
powerwing mario(fly forever in the air until he get hit)
musicbox
anchor
that 25 moves in total

and what is the main pokemon we hate is Pikachu let check his moves:
he can learn 40 moves at his own game.

I not trying to say SSB series sucks,I just trying to say is they should had gave them all the moves they had in the past.

I thought it wasn't anything special. Just another game. I don't play the wii much at all anymore. Although I am going back and playing some old gamecube games...

i got it March 9, 10:00 am...the first day it came out! and it was awesome!!! how could ppl say it sucked?

BRAWL is like a movement in itself, you really really have to be into it to get into it. OVER-HYPING a game like i did for SSBB is a bad thing but to this day I still play SSBB everyday, BUDGE007 is right! U SHOULD BE PLAYING RIGHT NOW, IT'S GREAT!!!

Ah finally. Someone makes some actual sense about delayed games.. People that whine about a delayed game have more problems than they think.. Hell it will come out sooner than later & when it does it will melt your face off with its awesomeness. But thats what people with no life do.. Sit around & complain & be inpatient..
