  • LordofChaosIori, on 02/05/2008, -1/+30Dear Diary,
    Today I told everyone on digg about that time I bought an N64 at the flea market. No one cared. Sometimes, I think you're the only one that gets me.
  • ggfobster, on 02/05/2008, -1/+27Smash Bros = best fighter
  • Retnuh730, on 02/05/2008, -1/+27You need help. Professional help. A girlfriend is obviously out of the question at this point, if ever.
  • DigTheDoug, on 02/05/2008, -4/+28Please learn the difference between plural and possessive, thank you.
  • saucedmike, on 02/05/2008, -2/+24except, you know, the 200,000,000 difference in population
  • ChinezePanda, on 02/05/2008, -4/+23I am trying to figure out how to pleasure my self with Super Smash Brothers Brawl.... using the game case, disk, manuals... plastic wrap... that security sticker....

    Sexually....

    It's just that goddamn good.

    Smash Brother's..... I want you inside me. =)
  • LordofChaosIori, on 02/05/2008, -1/+20A cleaver is a large knife.
  • kickcows, on 02/05/2008, -5/+22thank the maker i pre-ordered it.
  • amcerece, on 02/05/2008, -0/+14I'm just excited they brought back Ness. If only they would release Mother 3 stateside.
  • Brad324, on 02/05/2008, -0/+13what does this have to do with smash bros again?
  • dustinjr1993, on 02/05/2008, -0/+12they are having the time of there life and we are ducks sitting in a pond counting the seconds
  • AUmrysh, on 02/05/2008, -0/+11So... anyone happen to live in Japan and have, i dunno, a pretty good upload?
  • vaguesan, on 02/05/2008, -1/+12Well, I have had a chance to play the demo version in the store (because I'm currently living in Japan) and after 3 rounds I decided that I have to get a Wii to play just this one game at least. It is that good. Famitsu gave it a perfect score also.
  • Fritzed, on 02/05/2008, -0/+10I hate you.
  • ThisistheEdge, on 02/05/2008, -0/+10double true
  • relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -5/+15OMG you live in japan??? So kawaii!!!1! Do u know goku?
  • inactive, on 02/05/2008, -4/+13They Japanese also love Michael Jackson... as in, white lady Michael Jackson. I wouldn't base anything on their tastes.
  • ZephyrNinety, on 02/05/2008, -0/+9...which means America will either love it...or kinda like it
  • R3Dirkulous, on 02/05/2008, -2/+11not very many since the wii is region coded
  • ThinkBox, on 02/05/2008, -0/+8Sadly, with a comment like this, you could be a Digg ambassador to other countries.
  • doshindude, on 02/05/2008, -8/+16dude, SSBB is to Japan as what Halo 3 was to the US.
  • Blandyman, on 02/05/2008, -0/+7It is too kiddy. Can't you see he's a grown kid?

    He doesn't need his mom to go EVERYWHERE with him. She just needs to drop him off at the mall and leave him and his friends ALONE. Stupid bitch.

    /sarcasm
  • Mewchu11, on 02/05/2008, -2/+9Please don't point out something about someone else for the sole reason of they did the same to someone else. It's not as cleaver as you think it is.
  • Retnuh730, on 02/05/2008, -0/+7Wow, too kiddy for a 6 year old like you?
  • benburned, on 02/05/2008, -0/+7true dat
  • sixsidepentagon, on 02/05/2008, -0/+5When the theory doesn't match the facts, change the facts. -Einstein
    Sucks for you, according to ol' Al, you're not a college student anymore.
  • Gizza, on 02/05/2008, -0/+5Thats alright. Everyone else has already lost all hope for America.
  • LittleFishChan, on 02/05/2008, -0/+5That makes me feel good. I had already convinced myself that Brawl would be a great game, now the Japanese are validating my preconceived opinion (It got a perfect 40 on Famitsu!). Happy day.
  • thatsmyaibo, on 02/05/2008, -0/+4I'm sure there will be plenty to go around. I will be getting this the day it comes out but as an ex-gamestop manager, reservations are just a scam. They make a ton of money off people who don't claim their reserves.

    As for the game itself, I played it at e for all and it's amazing. If you liked melee, you'll love this.

    Here is the footage I snuck.
  • Dwebtron, on 02/05/2008, -1/+5amen
  • DarkprinceArmon, on 02/05/2008, -0/+4SSBB hitting America will be like what SSBB was when it hit Japan
  • Gregsaw, on 02/05/2008, -1/+5And in other news, Mario is in the game.
    thanks for telling us something obvious
  • saucedmike, on 02/05/2008, -0/+4yeah, where's the rick roll?
  • unrealmp3, on 02/05/2008, -2/+6Someone was living under a rock apparently.
  • Privil3g3, on 02/05/2008, -2/+6i reserve judgment of this game until it undergoes evaluation by Yahtzee.
  • Blandyman, on 02/05/2008, -0/+4everywhere?

    www.newegg.com sells 25-disc drums for about $15 or so. im not sure. but they're pretty inexpensive considering what they hold.
  • daemoncollector, on 02/05/2008, -0/+3http://mother3.fobby.net/

    Love it, support it...We'll have it soon enough.
  • iggy2012, on 02/05/2008, -0/+3for some odd reason, I couldn't stop laughing for a few seconds after reading this...
  • avidlinuxuser, on 02/05/2008, -0/+3Not very much since Famitsu only tracks retail stores not online purchases. Moreover, the game is entirely in Japanese with no english option. That limits the number of importers even more so than it already is. We might as well say most of Wii Fit's sales have actually been dieting american otaku who imported from Japan. That's an absurd statement. Also, Melee sold over 1.5 million copies in Japan. Brawl will likely sell over 2 million.
  • dreadroberts, on 02/05/2008, -0/+3lol the PS3 is just a repackaged sega genesis with chrome highlights, you noob. Drake's fortune is a ***** clone of sonic 2.
  • Blandyman, on 02/05/2008, -0/+3Mood: Apathetic.

    I can feel death's grip tightening around my throat.
  • allisonaxe, on 02/05/2008, -0/+3last time a smash bros. game came out, I couldn't find it until a week after release date, because i didn't preorder. yes, preorders are usually a scam, but with a high profile game like this.... I'll do it anyway.
  • biff198, on 02/05/2008, -0/+3I pre-ordered it back when it was due to release in December, and if they sell my pre-ordered copy, so help me...

    I just have to console myself with the knowledge that we aren't the last country to get it or anything. Haha, Europe!
