[Update] Super Smash Bros. Brawl Errors: More than meets the eye

Destructoid writes: A few gamers around the world who picked up SSBB on launch day, will not be able to play it for up to a week. The reason? The DVD lens in the Wii is dirtier than Paris Hilton. Nintendo has a remedy for you and plans to make the fix for free. What's the problem? Like the transformers, this is far more than meets the eye.

#1 A rep from Nintendo has confirmed that dust are smoke are not the only cause. Some drives are in fact bad. The point being, Nintendo has lied to you about the cause of SOME of these errors.

are you serious? I know that this problem is nowhere near the level of rrod (I hope), but after reading the article Nintendo better get a lid on this story -- quick.

Damn, does this mean that Sony built the most reliable nex-gen console, bar-none? Incredible.

PS3 had the YLOD [Yellow Light of Doom] but those were very, very rare to get. Not even 1% I believe.

znu6649d ago (Edited 6649d ago )

i have had 3 ps3's fry on me, the first one got YLOD, the other two were defective out of the box(one shut of 10 min into a game and the other scratched my discs.)

I guess the fourth was the charm( The consumer service agent was very helpful, and i guess he calmed me down alot while assuring i would get a perfect system next time)

So here i am, to bad i suck at all my games now, two months without playing.

still the ps3's i got sent were already defective, so they weren't spoiled, they were like that before being sent, then again those arn't problems one notices(disc being scratched and games turn off 10 min into it)

some people are just not born with luck.

E3056649d ago

Oh noes!! Not another faulty system. I think that Nintendo will be fixing these fast without warranty clauses and such.

Cyrus3656649d ago

So what's the short form of this Error? IF 360 is RROD, what's this UTRDE (Unable To Read Disc Error)? Not as catchy

Tarmgar6649d ago

To me, sounds like "You Turd". I like it :)

misterssippi6649d ago (Edited 6649d ago )

Since the lens is causing smoking, i'm gonna go with 'Smoke and Mirrors' S&M

I'm not surprised. Virtual Boy 2 FTL.

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Loktai30d ago

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.

To me smash brows Melee is my all time favorite. I can't tell you how many hours I played that game between friends and family. When I was a kid, my parents couldn't afford a gaming console so I had to go somewhere that had an arcade like setup with the only difference being instead of arcade cabinets, they had big screen crt TV's and gaming consoles setup. I would go with my friends on special occasions after school or with my family on the weekends.

I would meet and make new friends at that place as we were all gamers and we also brought our game boys and would trade pokemon. I don't think those places exist these days but back then, it was easy to meet like-minded people and have fun for hours.

franwex468d ago

Well, I’ll add my extremely subjective ranking too. I won’t include the 3DS version as I don’t owned it. I did play it for a few minutes though.

5. Brawl.
4. N64 Smash
3. Ultimate
2. Wiiu Smash
1. Melee

BlaqMagiq1467d ago

Yup Ultimate for me BY FAR is my favorite.
