I wonder if Mario Kart Wii (a name I loathe BTW) will top this? As much as I think SSBB is fantastic, I've been looking forward to a new MK for the longest time.

Never understood why these games are so popular and sell THIS good. Sure, inclusion of Mairo, Sonic and the gang in one decent game (Unlike Olympics one) is a huge plus but near 1 million in one day!? Crazy.

11 - have you played a previous smash bros MK?
Smash bros is the best party game you can have. this will take the spot of wii sports in all but the most casual of homes. smash brothers is like crack distilled into a video game. SAMUS > ALL!

Wouldn't you buy it too? Hardly surprising.

It's more like one hardcore gamer-approved Wii game once in a while (there are a couple good casual games), so that's why it sold well. Also, I'd say Galaxy was great as was Zelda.

12.2 - Im glad SSBB dropped when it did,
keeps me from wasting money on crappy HD-era games. You can only play so many FPS games, until the genre gets stale. Shoot, shoot, shoot=LAME.

its one of the biggest games of 2008. A definite AAA title for sure, and a game that anyone who calls themselves a gamer should have.

i am LOVING this game.. and i've been bad.. still haven't played much of the sigle player stuff but i know i should to open characters.. but brawl;ing on custom stages and on WIFI is just SO MUCH FUN!..

during the first week the online was annoying but now its flawless.. unless someone has a bad connection, but thats like with everything.. I love BRAWL ONLINE.. it may not have stats tracking but it does have some stats available offline and its always fun to see how good people out there are.. and some people are really good.

and there is so much to do in this game, i mean so many features that its almost impossible to do everything within the first 40 hours.. and the replay value is just off the charts in this game compared to MELEE. its scary(scares me how much time i wanna play this)
