Got a copy of Super Smash Brothers and cant play it? Well you are not alone - Nintendo has received a ton of queries about the same problem and issued an official statement yesterday about the recently released game on the Nintendo site. They want you to send them your Wii machine and Smash Brothers disc so they they can clean the lens reader which is "full of dust and cigarette ash." Nintendo say that the double layer disc is susceptible to dirty lenses. In this case you say the commonly used "Mendo Kusai" [面倒くさい] which you will have heard many times in Anime. It is said when something is troublesome/bothersorme/boring to do. If you are in the middle of doing something and somebody asks you to go to the grocery store to get some milk, you say "Mendo Kusai Yo!". Image via Brian at Kotaku and news via Mainichi. There is a lot of buzz about the game in the Japanese otakusphere - what is it about this game?
Its an awesome game thats why. Im still miffed they removed mewtwo ugh
Yea, but Mewtwo was lowest tier. fun though. It's okay, they pretty much made Lucario a buffed version of Mewtwo from the videos I've seen. Can't wait to play it when it ships here in the States.
meh, yeah ill use lucario but for other purposes mewtwo was my fav cuz well hes a cat! I loves cats
Mendo Kusai indeed. But on the otherside, there is this continent called Europe fearing that smash bros might be delayed a complete year...
This is indeed a fear. First time ever I've considered buying a modchip for a console.
Hope that's not true. Can't wait to play with Ganondorf again
Can't you guys just play the American version? It's both rather similar English right or do you guys have to deal with more censorship?
I wonder how playing SSB with the Wiimote feels like, I hope they did'nt ruin the feeling. I'm glad that Shiek made it into the game btw. Gooo Shiek!
you can use the gamecube controller or classic. But I played the game in wiimote during E for All convention it was downright horrible! DUDE! The grab button is - WTF? A was a closer button to any of my fingers and its a useless button: taunt. Hopefully you can configure it though, but that doesnt take away how awkward it is for you to press the trigger button for shield/block
They did include old R.O.B.? WOW!! No, otherwise than that I don't seem too appealed by it from what I can see in the video... Except I'd love to play as Ike from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, Link and Zelda from Twilight Princess and Meta Knight. Yeah, I'm a complete fan of medieval weapons, partially hence my nick. Btw, does Nintendo give you freebies for the trouble?
Oh and don't make your Wii smoke, it's bad for its health. ^^;
You should be telling that to the young 'uns too 1. http://www.dannychoo.com/fauna_detail/eng/1188/Young+Smokers/
Was more thinking of this. Not new, but still good for kicks: http://kotaku.com/gaming/top/the-japanese-super-safe-wii-safety-manual-218939.php (8th image)
For me, they delayed the game till March 9th. I so want to master Sonic!!!
If the disc is susceptible to dirt why are they cleaning the lens instead of the disc? I hope that I won't have the same problem.... won't know what to do cos my wii has an 'open source' chip
Nothing wring with the disc - the lens has to be cleaned before it can read the disc...
If you had it chipped you might as well open it yourself and clean it with airspray or by the person who chipped it for you. I'm sure if won't remain chipped if you send it away. I don't plan to buy, so I don't have to worry.
got the same dilemma as you. i've got an 'open source' hardware installed to my Wii and i'm a bit worried on this report on SSBB on not being read by the wii ToT
The game is full of everything = FUN. That's what the buzz is all about.
A lot of people bought the wii for this game alone pretty much. I know about 15 people who said they bought a wii only for this game lol
I'm just annoyed that I have to wait to get it until March 9th, but at least I'm not in Europe. But the character selection is kick ass, I just miss Mewtwo.
well, at least nintendo is more user friendly than microsoft from the start. you hear me microsoft? you could learn a thing or two from these long-runners, you newcomer(to the gaming industry)!!
Yeah, the oldest video game company seems to offer the best customer service out there, even Sony couldn't offer similar customer service judging from how they reacted to the PS3 bugs. http://www.dannychoo.com/blog_entry/eng/670/PS3+Bugs/ Better learn from Nintendo! ^^
My copy's pre-ordered & I can't wait to play it. Been keeping track of the Dojo's updates everyday. Though since mostly everyone who has the JPN version will be posting spoilers, not many people will be checking it...
so will people have to send in their wiis to get it cleaned everytime they buy a new 2 layered game??? sounds like they're trying to cover up a mistake in the wii or something
lol ONLY GOOD REASON to own a wii right now! SSBB will probably be just as fantastic as its predecessors!
Mendo kusai indeed >_
Danny, the biggest argument was about who could be included in the game... Characters coming back into the fray, newcomers and also special guests. For the latter, you probably heard about Solid Snake (and a weeping Kojima)... then the rumors exploded. Well, Sonic is around. Many would even speculate about the appearance of Mega Man. LOL. Well, that is all. If you want me to describe the Smash Bros series in more detail, just ask. (I have yet to rediscover SSB Melee btw. Darn Freeloader, get in my mailbox already!!)
SSB Brawl Roster: SPOILER! All character screen unlocked on page 2 http://wii.ign.com/articles/849/849120p1.html
Thanks, FatB, much appreciated. Still I'd have liked to see a much bigger roster...
By the way: http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=256
Even pisses me off even more that the only thing accurate about the comic was mewtwo lol
dude... I want to play...
I couldn't see what the fuss was about at first back in the GameCube? N64? days. But one day my bro had friends over and had the game running, so I gave it a go and found it really addictive. I find Nintendo has the video game concept nailed. While having not so impressive gfx, the Wii reminded me what a fun game is all about, and its simple games did just that.
lol, it look like we got to blow in the Wii like in the days of the NES not working due to dust.
I'm also waiting for this game, let's hope that by the time it arrives in Europe, there's no problem anymore^^
MENDO KUSAI!!
