brawl sighting at local Wal-mart. also happy birthday wii
dadudebob | 7:16 PM on 03.06.2008 12 comments


I was at my local Walmart (Brick, NJ) today and saw Brawl on the shelf, i was thinking about it, but knowing i have my order from amazon coming, i could just wait til tues, but i decided to cancel that order. i think im going back tomorrow to get it, hopefully they sell it. i decided to get a gc controller too, over a classic controller. after a bit of deciding, figure if i needed to play a gc game, which is unlikely these days, but who knows?
what would you do? would you of gotten brawl knowing you ordered it and it coming next week? also would of gotten a gc cotroller over a classic controller?
sorry no pix, i was thinking about it, but decided i not to

its just about the time i got my wii last year, give or take a few days, though i think its exactly today. in a year, i have gotten about 20 regular games and about 25 virtual console games, would of averaged to 2 games a month if i didnt not care for a few months. its lasted me this whole time, not one problem with it so far, hopefully it last for a few more years to come. yay for nintendo making a reliable console for once:)

ill keep you updated if i get the game

i woulda picked it up right there before they decide to pull it off the shelves once they realize theyre breaking a huge games street date, then cancelled the amazon order

and my console wasn't so reliable..its broken on me twice and now i gots to wait for it to get repaired before i get to play brawl. :( <--me right now.

so for the time being, its firered, chibirobo park patrol, another swing through crackdown, and maybe some orange box.

I would have definitely gone with GC over classic. You won't be able to use the Classic controller in tournaments. Also, I would have bought the game while you were there then got home and canceled the order. I'd hope that the game is still there.

@spykron: i ordered it on amazon w/ next day delivery, they dont send it til monday, plus it was an extra $4 w/ the prime deal, also to make sure i get it im keeping it at the top of my gamefly queue, though not sure how long before "keep it" will be available

thinking about it, i was stupid, i have the money and had a backup plan, as for the gc controller, i like it better, esp the wireless one, the other one i have is wired and 5 years old, we broke our other one cuz of the wire, though i would of preferred officially licensed controller. plus i like the big a button

I definitely would have bought that game. Even if you didn't get a chance to cancel the pre order, just sell a copy on ebay.

No pics huh?

Anyway, I have to agree with the general consensus here and say that if you do cancel your order, it is pretty dumb. I mean maybe it's because I'm not as hyped for the game as others, but I would have the patience to wait it out till Tuesday.
