I recently just drove by several of my local game retailer stores and let me tell you, there are more people outside of Best Buy, Gamestop, EB Games, and Walmart then was the case about 6 months ago for Halo 3. Take that Halo 3!

I think it's safe to say, you're just wrong, I mean I'm glad you're happy with your little local success, but unfortunately that doesn't equate to the rest of the world, sorry.

Not really, I had other things I had to do and these places were conveniently on my journey.

For what it's worth (which isn't much), the guys at the GameStop I went to for the midnight release said over 270 people preordered Brawl at that location, which is more than they got for Halo 3.

dude, the only thing that might come close to rival the halo 3 launch will be the WOW expanision... lol the Wii will never have alot of hardcore gamers to stand outside at 12 in the morning for a game

Wasn't even aware they were doing midnight launches for SSBB. Are 7 11s selling it also? How bout Walmarts checkout lanes "dedicated" to selling SSBB? No?

Oh well.

Shoulda seen the crowd at the the local GameStop. Easily 75+ waiting outside, in a line, for the tournament, not the game, the tournament. It got bigger when they actually started selling the games. Or will you change your definition of "hardcore" to somehow invalidate that example?

Id say if your going to a store to buy a game at 12 AM so you can wait in line for at least an hour so you can get home and play the game from 1:45 to 3:00 AM then your hardcore in my books

i guess, but casuals are still lining up for wii's at 5 in the morning, so assuming that they wake up at 8, thats 3 hours less sleep. and assuming the people who go to midnight launches sleep at 12, thats also a three hour cut. i'd go but i preordered mine at circuit city, hope they have enough :P

or maybe most of the casuals are hardcore gamers in the disguise :idea:

In my local area almost everything closed down because of the weather. Guess those who want SSBB will have to wait another 12 hours.

One of my Wal Marts had 25 people waiting for it (including me). They got at tleast 150-200 copies in. The game has its own POS display, just like new DVD releases.

Wow thats nothing like the "real: Halo 3 release scene....at NYC. The streets were blocked nnad times squae was drapped in alo 3 advertisement. I had to wait 4hrs at circuit city to buy that game(and a 360 which were all sold out). I had to search for hors to find a 360 and i finally got one at aa Gamestop store. Imagine having a halo3 disk and not being able to play it.....

Statistically, I don't think that's true. But is still a huge release.

I recently just drove by several of my local game retailer stores and let me tell you, there are more people outside of Best Buy, Gamestop, EB Games, and Walmart then was the case about 6 months ago for Halo 3. Take that Halo 3!Shenmue_Jehuty

I was going to go to Gamestop last night to get the game but they were closed, so apperently there wasnt enough pre-orders to constitute a midnight launch. So I have to wait till the morning to get it. Halo 3 though the entire parking lot was packed and there was 100 people outside of my Gamestop. So in my town its no where close to being as big as Halo's release.
