Yes, it's likely caused by dust. I have instructions on cleaning the Wii's laser lens ( If you're handy enough with a screwdriver and an earswab ) in another topic: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?p=4091189#post4091189

I found a decent disassembling guide with step by step photos. Step 13 is about as far as you need to go. http://wii.ds-scene.net/?act=viewptopic&s=2&publicforum=10&topic=377 The arrow below is where the laser lens can be accessed. The actual laser lens itself actually is about where the...

( If you're going to attempt to clean the laser, please do so with caution. This will likely void any warranty, but it is however useful to know how to perform home repairs on consoles) Hi there, we picked up Smash Brothers Brawl last night at a midnight releasing and were shocked to find...

Just got Brawl from a midnight release, looks like my Wii won't run it. I'm going to try and get the screwdriver to open the Wii and clean the lens. I've had to open the GameCube and adjust the laser frequency all the time, this should be a similar operation. If that don't work, I guess I'll...

Ah, I misunderstood.

Most other multiplayer titles that are in direct competition with Brawl feature game balance updates and future content. In reality, its fighting games that are often lacking on-line fixes & features, but this is usually because a fighting game is intended for an overly hardcore market that...

I really don't see downloadable characters as an option, otherwise why would they hype so much about secret characters when all hell can break loose when any character can be updated/downloaded. Sakurai said to fix the (immediate) problem of players playing on WiFi and playing against (initial)...

because the chances of them doing it after-the-fact because the fans are asking for it is slim to none I don't recall fans specifically asking for it, but it would makes sense to allow for even simple balance changes for damage, speed, etc. Smash Brothers is such a casual game that they could...

Good post FiredDragon, DLC was my first thought when the limited "35 Character" roster was revealed. Although we obviously couldn't expect legions of new content if the DLC support was indeed coded into SSBB, but I think it would be safe to assume to the possibillity of 4-8 characters before...

Smash Brothers 64 had a really distinctive "fun" feeling to it, in my oppinion, the attempt to make Smash Brothers more realistic really is going in the wrong direction. The box cover: ( http://www.mobygames.com/images/covers/large/987680405-00.jpg ) for the original N64 game is what Smash...

( ***** ) Pikachu ( **** ) Pikmin & Olimar ( *** ) Pokemon Trainer ( ** ) Peach ( * ) Sonic (iffy, might change) I've mained Pikachu since SSB because of his size and speed, haven't stopped since despite his inadequacies, and absolutely love it when I stomp a duel or a match with'em. He seems...

The magazines over there have apparently been rating it with perfect scores; higher, even, than Melee obtained at its release. Perhaps because they haven't played Halo? (Just a thought.)

Well, thank God for you Tommy. I was getting a little nervous when I was hearing so little about Pikachu, I'm glad to hear someone was able to do some damage with my favorite character! Something I'm wondering about though is whether or not Pikachu's B-move has been brought back to the...

I see. Well, thanks for the responses guys, hopefully we'll all get a chance to test each other's skill when Brawl's out. See you then!

Not to my knowledge, Melee certainly didn't get one. I think Brawl getting a countdown is really just to make up for the lack of E3, where they'd show off the trailer and info in full style. This is the best they can try and do to get a lot of heads turned all at the same time. ... Also...
