Haha, not at all.

Screw the still unannounced release date. I'm importing NOW.
By the way, is that "Buy now" button on the webpage about the freeloader even working? I clicked it and it just loaded the same page.

I guess I'll have to wait till Monday since I didn't get my Freeloader today ;< That would make the shipment 8 days even though they said it would only take 3~5 ;-;.

Aargh, I really can't wait for Brawl! Cheapness prevails in Mario Strikers Charged. :( I'll get mad if I have to stay with it for another week.

Just a quick question, it says in Metroid Prime 3's case that it's 60hz only, so if I can play it with no problems that means I will run Freeloader + Brawl with colors? Just looking for confirmation.

No, it's not certain that it will. PAL Metroid Prime 3 uses PAL 60Hz signal and Brawl uses NTSC signal. So if your TV doesn't support NTSC you'll be playing B/W Brawl. Like for myself all the European Nintendo games run on 60Hz but none of the PS2 games I've ever had have been running with colors when using 60Hz.

Thanks for the answers. Does anyone know if all the japanese Gamecube games used NTSC 60hz? Because back in the gc days I had the gc freeloader and played a handful of japanese gc games without problems. :>

I was really dissapointed with Brawl, sucumbing to the prevelant thoughts that it's "too slow" and "not as good as melee".

Then I found Ike and relearnt the fast fall timings. =O

Oh my god this game is amazing.

Ah, i thought it was too slow at first too Otter, but now I prefer it over Melee. Don't think I'll ever go back to Melee to be honest. xP

Me and my brother are sort of tackling this problem as a duo (yes, we're sad like that), he's gone to town to find some canned air, and I'm sat here at the computer trying to find a solution, which at the moment, canned air seems to be. I have 3.2E, and i've had a Wii since release, so dust is a likely problem.

If un-dusting it works, i'll let you know so you could add it to the FAQ at the beginning.
What exactly is the problem? I had a moment earlier where I too thought I would need to get my lens cleaned, but I tried a few things first and now it works fine.

By any chance is it a case of, after you put in the freeloader and it does it's thing you then put in Smash and go to the channel, then does it go black and your controller turns off?

If this is the case then follow the second freeloader option where you have to load the freeloader twice in a row and then stick in smash.
Now it might say here after installing a wii update that there is a disk error, but if you turn off your machine and then try the first freeloader option where you stick it in once and then the game it should now work.

It might not of course. However, this is exactly what happened to me today when I received the game.

I thought Your Ike was good. I often said " Hm. That was well planned" when facing your Ike.

Your Kirby was really good though. Was he your Melee main?
You seemed to have a bit of experience with him.

Is there a UK pal code thread? I want to test the online out properly.

From the three with anyone games I've had, all have been laggy at some point. The first one was laggy for the first '1:30' before the game sped up for the last 30 seconds and sudden death. The second was quite good apart from the first 20 or so seconds and the last game I had was lagging throughout.

I ordered brawl + freeloader from 365 on wednesday..any chance i will get it on monday?
It depends, you should check if they've been shipped yet, if they're not in stock yet it could take a while, if they're shipped by now though there's a good chance you'll have em at the beggining of next week

A QUESTION FOR THOSE WHO ORDERED FROM 365GAMES.COM!

What does processing mean?
I asked my dad to order it for me when i saw him on wenesday and I don't know if he has orderd brawl as he lives in london and i live in Birmingham.


so yeah... If it says that it is processing, does it mean that he has payed and orderd it or not?

Thanks

well i payed with creditcard (paypal) and my status on 365 instantly changed to: payment received. but ofcourse there are some other people here who used 365 aswell, so i cant really confirm if your payment went correctly or not

I ordered brawl + freeloader from 365 on wednesday..any chance i will get it on monday?
well, depends where you live aswell. i mailed 365 about how long it takes, and 365 replied with that it takes around 4-8 days as soon its despatched (and im from the netherlands).
so if you want to know hoe long just send a mail to: contactus@365games.co.uk

how did you pay for your copy? if you used anything but paypal, it may mean they are still waiting for the payment to come through and be cleared. if not, then it simply means they havent sent it yet (your status will change to "despatched" once it has)
