SmashBros is a couple months away, and with many accesories that could be used for the game, which ones will you be buying?



I'll be getting this, it's serves as a wavebird so it can also be used for vc games(along with gamecube games duh). The other thing I might get is a 2 gig memory card to replace my 1 gig. However I'll only do that if I run out of space. To tide me over I'll be getting super mario strikers charged and new super mario bros. Yeah, thats what I'm gettin but what are YOU GETTIN 0_o

Your gonna buy a new tv for a game? (no offence)i didn't know people did that,but I'm sure they do.
I guess I should've been more specific, but I've had the same TV since my Sega Genesis days. I'd say it's a load of crap. It was one of the better tvs back then, but now, whenever my buddies and I are playing smash, it starts to flicker and whatnot. I figure I'm going to go all out and get a plasma or something. :laugh:

Hiding in that one place you cant see.
I'll probly get an 2G SD card, and the controller from Thrustmaster, since its multipurpose and totally wirless.
Regarding the TV, well if you got the money go for it. That way you can play in Wide Screen!

-Comcast wireless internet

-2 white GCN controllers (i have 2 black ones but they are getting older...)

-a 6ft gcn cable extender (wavebirds are not always tourney legal for some reason, plus i don't wanna have to buy any more batteries then i am already.)

-already got a 1 gb sd card. (for screen shots, video, and stage builder

-Mario galaxy, and Guitar Hero 3 (to tide me over)

-Lots of caffeine filled drinks

-Sleep (for once it comes out, i will not sleep for a long time)


BTW-where can you get that wave bird it looks comfy!!

Probably a 2gb SD card... but besides that I have everything that I need, just waiting for Brawl now.

Edit: Hmm, maby 2 6 feet cable extensions for gamecube controllers so me and my Bro don't have to sit so close to the tv...

I'm probably going to gear up with the Thrustmaster and give a proper Viking funeral to my Superpad, the Masamune (I call it that because only I can use it. It's a C-Stick thing, and a joke about an aspect of Sephiroth's sword that some people forget about.)
I also will probably stock up on Orange Crush (my life blood) to keep me going when I play Brawl well into the night.
I don't need an SD card, since I have plenty of room left and I can always carry my character data back and forth via Wii Remote.
I might try to get a better gaming chair, the one I got last year for Christmas is already started to fall apart.
Other than that, all I can think of is meaningless merchandise and of course the game itself.
I'll be ready when Brawl hits, because I'm planning on taking my brother's minifridge and putting it in my room, than completely filling it with soda and other assorted snacks like a freakin' armory. It makes me feel like the Punisher....a much nerdier version of the Punisher...

Well I have 6 controllers, but some aren't very reliable. So I might get one more just to have a nice one for myself.

Yeah, I might need the LAN adapter soon... my WiFi thing is failing me at the moment.

I guess I can also use the SD card, although I am running low on money because I just bought a set of controllers online. (Hooray for discounts)

Wait, a guide? And moreover, a Prima's Guide?

I don't think you would need a guide for Brawl...

Well let's see. I already have 4 wireless GC controllers, a Wii, wireless and wired internet (at school and at my house, respectively). I guess all I'd need is.

-snacks (for when my friends and I are going nuts)
-tissues (so I can dry my eyes after crying for joy at seeing the game on my tv for the first time)
-batteries for the controllers
-Guitar Hero III, Bleach DS, and Super Mario Galaxy to tide me over to Brawl's release

That should just about do it.

You're kidding right? Don't you know how fast Plasma TVs go bad when consoles are being used on them? ><

As for me? Well, the whole purpose of buying my Wii 7 monthes ago was for playing the newer Zelda games and Smash, everything else is just an addon =P

But if you would list it, just for this game I've buyed
-A Wii
-2 Wiimotes
-2 Nunchucks
-2 Gamecube controllers
-A 2GB SD card
-And a wireless router(Edimax 6204Bg)

Aren't I'm the Smash Fan =P(Btw I'm not loaded, I just got lucky with the dates(Holidays, Birthdays, etc.), the only thing I actually bought was the Wii itself and what comes with it =P)

Well my friend is going to give me all the junk to set up my wi fi (his dad works somewhere with wireless networking, so he gets it for free. can you say hookup?).

So I will just need

1. A fresh GCN controller. (gotta get a brand new controller for a brand new smash)

2. A months worth of food/beverages.

3. A bedpan.

That about covers it. Not going to leave my room for a month after it comes out.

1) Thrustmaster Classic Controller. I would like to experiment with the classic controller for Brawl, and I need a CC anyways. Looks better then a regular CC as well. Nice that it serves as a GCN controller as well.

2) Another Nunchuck. I has 3 Wiimotes and 2 Nunchucks. wtf, lol, rite? YA!!!11!eleven! (maybe these sexy beasts if they come out in time...http://gear.ign.com/articles/840/840028p1.html)

3) No More Heroes. It comes out on my birthday (Gamestop claims so, although I haven't found an official release date anywhere else(?). I'll be engrossed in that if the claim is true, then switch between that and Brawl for a good while. Mostly Brawl though ;)

4) Lots of this...


5) Super Smash Bros Brawl
