It's the Most, Anticipated Game of the Year

Well, Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Wii has officially been out for a few days, and like new parents caring for their first child, there are some problems. Japan, the center of most of the videogame industry, gets games about 3 months ahead of us here in the United States, so we should know ahead of time if there will be problems....and there is.

Like the Halo 3 Legendary Edition, the Brawl discs are "dirty" (in the sense it can make you Wii dirty, which in turn makes the Wii unplayable). Nintendo has already set up a site designed to help with these problems, but the time it takes to clean it and send it back is about a week.

All I can say is...way to go. This is the second game that has been anticpated for, and both of them are on different consoles. I guess this means the PS3 will have this problem with one of their exclusive games, but which one? Honestly, technology has gotten to the point where we trust it to do the same task over and over again, and we let it go unchecked, causing defects in many games. I know there is no way to check EVERY SINGLE game, but at least have people check every 1 out of...let's say...1000 maybe? I know this wouldn't catch all the defects on games but if you pick up 5 games in a row that are dirty....here's yer sign to stop production and fix the problem.
