Super Smash bros. Melee is one of the best selling video games of all time. With that much hype put into a previous game, the next game will likely get twice as much. I know there are other good Wii games, such as Mario Kart Wii, but in all-time Melee far exceeded Mario Kart's success. Therefore, more excitement for Super Smash Bros. Brawl than for Mario Kart Wii.

Meh, Melee wasn't that fun. As a matter o' fact, I never played it after the second time. (Note: I decided to preorder Brunout Paradise and not Brawl. Burnout is more appealing, and the next game I preorder will be GTAIV, and guess what, it's gonna be on/near February 22nd!

I still have my original copy. Sure, its six years old, but it's still fun to play. After all, i still haven't mastered Wave-Dashing and its something I'd like to do. Personally, I think most Burnout Games are the same, but I do notice that can be directly applied to Super Smash Bros. as well. I guess i'm more of a beat the krud out of animated 3D characters person than beat the krud out of other people's cars person.

Wow....this conversation changed fast. Well, I never preorder for the record. Preordering is a waste of time for me. And often, the Gamestop people are arrogant cocks that think if you don't preorder...you life ends when "insert game here" comes out. No....where I live, Target, Wal-Mart, or any other big store always has an ample supply of games and they are always available. The local Target by me has 3000 copies of Halo 3. It had Mario Galaxy on release date and never ran out. And Mario Party 8 which Gamestop told me would be sold out for two weeks, was available at Target on day one.

Sounds like the employees at your local GameStop are mentally challenged. They say Mario Party 8 was going to be sold out for weeks, eh? They should just die. I understand your point, considering where you live.

But in my case, there's only 2 stores where I can get games (withing a 15 minute radius). GameStop and Wal-Mart. They are both near each other, but I prefer Gamestop, mainly because they actually know what they are talking about at mine and I don't have to tell the people at Gamestop "I want Super Mario Galaxy" and then they are like "Huh?" until I point it out to them. I usually preorder for a bonus or if the game will sell out (such as Halo 3 or COD4 which both sold out here the day both stores got them in).

Ah well, different places, different stores, different people.

When you say preorder for a bonus...you mean you get something stupid like a Mario keychain with your copy of Mario Party 8, right?

I have to admit, I did think about preordering a few things so I could get one of those stupid little things with a game. Never did though.

I normally dont pre order either, just tried it this time because the price was obviously a mistake so I jumped on it and kept my fingers crossed

Hehe I always pre-ordered the Guild Wars games because when you do so you pay normal price for Collectors edition which gives you for example:



That chunky longer book is an art book which is full of the concept art all printed nicely. Buggered if I can remember what a lot of the other stuff is... Think theres a Soundtrack, Making of, Map, that Manuscripts book (full of Lore and such), and the little velvet bag had something... cant remember what.

Anyway I got all that before the game released for $100. I also pre-ordered Crysis to get the CE which comes with what they should have called an Art PAMPHLET not book  Angry but awesomely enough, a tin DVD case. And some other stuff but the art book is all I ever buy it for so it was lucky the cool tin case saved it..

Nah, that would be located under "schwag" for preorders. I, on the other hand, usually will preorder for in-game bonuses. With Burnout, you unlock the Steel Wheels car (very well armored, much needed) and such. But, like I said, I mainly preorder in case of it being like Halo 3 or COD4 and it most likely being sold out at both of my sources on day 1.
