Super Smash Brothers Brawl
I picked this one up earlier in the week and have managed to play through it for a couple of hours - mostly focusing on the “solo” Adventure mode. I say “solo” because a second player can jump in to lend a hand - but this requires some coordination from both parties since the camera stays firmly glued to Player 1.
The game is vast, and there are lots of cool things to explore besides the core Brawls; retro game demos, sticker and trophy collecting, characters (and levels?) to unlock, a level builder, etc.
I haven’t tried the multi-player mode yet, as I am still negotiating the prolonged Friend Code-based “handshake” that seems to be required for all of Nintendo’s titles. I suppose I could just try the public online-matches if I want to get a taste. Some people have mentioned that online games are harried by latency - but I suspect this will calm down once the initial furor passes.
Besides SSBB, the next big wiilease coming down the tube is Mario Kart Wii, which should hit sometime near the end of April.

Ghost Valley power!!!!!! vrmmmmmmmmmmmm
Mario Kart is nothing without a Ghost Valley race: hope they won’t forget it this time.
Sounds like a fun game…but I’ve just started Guitar Hero 3 and finished it on easy in about 2 hours…also I am trying to do a complete run through of Mario Galaxy…and I am 10 stars away from getting all 120! Then, I’m gotta get off my ass and finish Twilight Princess already! So I got a couple games to finish off before I hit this one.
Ugh I know what you mean: I haven’t even finished Mario Galaxy yet in any form - never mind Twilight Princess. I’ve got GH3 beaten on Easy and Medium, but Hard is something inhuman
And Mario Kart is right around the corner too!
I am now up to 118 stars! The last to a freakin’ IMPOSSIBLE >:-(
Mario cart will be mine!
Plus, and I know this isn’t as big an issue with you. but the Habs just clinched a playoff spot and are #1 in the eastern conference!!! GO HABS GO!
That means TV time will be given to hockey over the Wii!
