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.

At least nintendo knows their wiimote sucks for some games and they are willing to let you play with a different controller instead of ignoring it and ruining a lot of peoples favorite game.

why would you wait till tuesday anyway? street date is sunday! im confused!
dadudebob's Destructoid Blog
@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.
dadudebob's Destructoid Blog
@Citizen Brain: yea that was what i was thinking too, but decided against that, which was stupid,ill see what happens tomorrow, ill update when i can

walmart's open 24/7 man..why don't you just go back now and get it?

(assuming its still there)

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.
