It gets really scary when you realize that Smash has legs. It will sell well for months just like NSMB and Galaxy.

Nice job Nintendo. Thanks for the great game.

Hard to believe the NES bundle with original Mario didn't sell more than that in it's first week.

Speaking about Brawl, I just defeated the last boss and I completed about 88% of the single player. I could've sworn I did all the levels, or am I missing something?

First it was "this game's gonna get 8.5", then after 9.5, it became "well, the game's not gonna sell that well." What's after that? "This game's gonna be rerated because it was flu season in Reviewer Country"?

doubt it. Halo 3 made the most money in 1 day in the history of the entertainment business

if brawl did better we would have seen something on the newspapers about it like we did for halo 3

Have you two tried re-exploring each stage for hidden trophies or tried capturing enemies?

I'll have a second run through in a minute. But hey I was wondering would changing the difficulty change anything? I think the harder you put it on, the more unlockables you'll get?

it sold 1.4 million in its first week in the U.S. alone, almost 900,000 in the first day. no console has even come close to that, so why is it hard to believe that NES bundle with mario didnt outsell it?

To complete the SSE on 100% you need to:

Unlock every character. For some you have to go back to previous stages.

Go through every door.

Break every Orange cube.
