I apologize for the length.
Well, its a long, frustrating story. When I first got Brawl back in August or something, it would not load. The Wii could not read the disk. Perhaps out of boredom or determination, I sat there and inserted the disk about thirty times until it finally loaded. I love Brawl a little too much. So I repeated this process for months; but every time took longer and longer. By January, it would not load at all. the thing is - my Wii will play every other game just fine but Smash Bros. My disk worked on my friend's Wii, but his disk wouldn't work on mine. I searched around and found people with similar situations. Nintendo has offered to repair Wiis with this condition, but I have to ship it there. I guess I just don't trust the mail system; for I searched for another way to fix it. Pkmn110889 enlightened me of a special lens cleaner that sounded like it could rectify the problem. But I have been real busy and forgetful; I will get the lens cleaner this weekend or earlier. But of all the things that could go wrong - my internet connection broke.
It's very frustrating becuz I joined this site to find better opponents. My friend isn't exactly great. But anyway, that is my story.
