define "I got Brawl." Is it a hacked version requiring a modded Wii? Or is it the *** version requiring the *** Wii?
Bring them to G4S5, keep them safe of course, and you could pull of a sale there.
Edit: Since when is J@p a bad word............?

the said "hacked" version is the j a p version and requires a mod chip soldered to the circuit board for american wii's bc they cannot process the j a p version without the mod chip.

Nintendo wouldn't implement a system of destroying their product. How else would people continue to buy games from them? It just will say something like "disk error" I'm sure.

Smash Journeyman
well, i read that, nintendo doesn't account for other regions updates, so,if it wasn't made for the particular region, and the wii game has certain updates, it will either brick the game, or semi/brick the game, is what i just read.

It does brick the wii, and from what i've heard, people who get it to work usually unplug the wii during the update to get it to not brick the wii, or they download brawl and then patch the ISO using region frii and brick blocker before burning it to a wii.

Jap sounds more to me like an abbrivation for Japanese than a racial slur.

i didn't know that
and PB&J-- the first one is $60

well renth, apparently in an irc channel full of anime obsessed nerds, that probably love the japanese culture more than there own... i said ***, and got banned, for using a racial slur lol.

so ********. What's there to be racist about with Japanese? They make all the best ****.

It a racial term from WW Duece people. Just like any other term that started out being used for slander and insults. Besides, how long does it take to fully type out Japanese over ***? Also, show me some people who like to be called half of their name, it sorta shows that you are either too lazy to fully recognize them or just being a A**. That is why saying *** can be considered derogatory just like the multitude of other recial comments on the block.

hey zeus we were wondering if maybe if:
A: you were willing to come to PB&J's house for brawl or
B: If you'd let us drive over there and play brawl.
we have a japanese wii so we can definitely just play brawl like ASAP just to make sure though you have a japanese copy of brawl NOT pirated yes?
BTW us all is me, pb&j, and mikeG
I could use your phone number and AIM as well.

abrivations are simply abrivatoins, they mean no harm.
I don't care if it is a racial slurr started from WW people. it's like when you're are on aim saying BBL for be back later sounds just the same as calling someone a Jap instead of saying Japanese.
It doesn't mean you aren't fully recongizing them or are being lazy it could be just how you are.

One time someone pronounced the stage in Melee "Jungle Japes" as "Jungle J.APS" and I said "I doubt the game creators are racist against themselves"
good times.

People call me Manko all the time. Also Joe instead of Joseph.

or the off times i called you mankis.
and why we call Lambchops chops.
I wonder if Linguini finds it racist that we call him pasta...
SR Raptor

I will say this. The majority of people only allow their group of friends to call them certain abbreviations. If me saying *** is found to be offensive to someone than it is out of mere decency that stop using the word. Meh, oh wellz.

Or like calling Renth, Renth.... or Alpha, Alpha...... or ......... wait I'm completely off base here.

It'd be great if we could have several playable copies of Brawl at G4S5 and attempt an additional, straight up Double Elim bracket tourny on the side after the main event. It's up to the majority. (I'm hinting at you guys to bring some playable Brawl lol)

the term J A P came for World War 1 or 2 i cant remember which. It was the Term the US troops gave to Japanese Military guys.
the best short term for Japanese Is JP. thats what we call basically anything that is Japanese in Final Fantasy XI. JP = Japanese Play(ers)

Right, well i strongly stand by my opinion so i am referring to them as Japs, because i like to abbrivate things. If people don't like it too bad.

haha agreed. btw renth are you coming to G4S5? cause if so id like to play you.
Nice to meet you, I'm Thomas. But you can't call me Tom, because that would be lazy and you'd be an ***.

Like, you can stop being ignorant for a second, and realize that just because it IS an abbreviation, doesn't mean that outside your bubble of thinking, it could possibly represent something that you don't intend it to be.
Now, there are two terms,
what Americans called the japanese during the 40's up until today, which was a belittling way to speak to them. "F***ing J a p s."
and then there is a term, which is only used in the north, or other places with a large jewish population(Don't ask me, I urban dictionary'd this one), which stands for 'Jewish-American princess." which is a highly offensive word to female Jews, who are seen as snobby b**ches.
But I care not about that one, I actually found it funny.
Don't care if you "Stand by" your cute little preference, but I felt the need to point this out.
Tl;dr: nyaa nyaa im a cat.
From what I understand, to play the Japanese version of Brawl on an American Wii, you need to install a mod chip. There are a lot of them out there, but apparently WiiKey now works (its what Mew2King used for his review of Brawl of GameFaqs, so it works).
You'd have to solder on the modchip and then download the firmware. If that sounds hard, its not -- there are guides all over the internet for it.
Proof that the modchip works with the Japanese version of Brawl on an American Wii with the modchip: click this stupid youtube video link.
In that video, he uses the WiiKey chip, but if you find a cheaper one that says it'll run Brawl, then go for it.
Also, that youtube video has a link in the description to download a torrent for the (i'm assuming .ISO) of the japanese version of Brawl. So if you know how to mount .ISO files (if you don't, google "Daemon Tools"), then you can just torrent the **** thing. This kind of makes buying it from Zeus meaningless, which wasn't my intention, but now that I think of it... yeah.
If you don't want to bother with downloading the torrent, or don't want to learn how to work it, then buying the disc from Zeus would be your alternative. Which is nice.
But you'd still have to get a mod chip, because the Japanese Brawl doesn't work on our Wiis. That, or you could buy (or already own) a Japanese Wii.
Hope this helps, and if I'm wrong about anything, let me know. Personally, I don't have a mod chip, and although I've modded **** before, I'm not going to spend the money on the chip and download the Japanese version just to buy the American version of Brawl in less than a month. Plus, and this is a biggie -- I'm not sure if the Japanese version of Brawl uses the same wifi **** as the American one. If thats true, then this would be a waste of my money.
edit- when I posted this, I got the weirdest *** error message ever: "No suitable nodes are available to serve your request." What the hell, Crashboards. What the hell.
