They Got A Million of ‘Em
Well, that certainly didn’t take long! Super Smash Bros. Brawl was unleashed upon Japan just two short weeks ago and, already, the game is breaking sales records. (I refrained from making any “smashing” jokes.)
Kotaku, courtesy of Famitsu, are reporting that Super Smash Bros. Brawl has become the fastest selling Wii title, beating out hits like Wii Fit and Wii Sports.
We’re hoping that the killer online feature set - from straight-up multiplayer action, to betting on replays, to sharing home-brew stages - are helping to contribute to those numbers. Nintendo pulled out all the stops when bringing one of my favorite franchises to the Wii.
Look for a full case study on Super Smash Bros. Brawl when the game becomes available to the rest of the world in a few more months.
