The midnight launch to SSBB will be my first midnight Ninty launch.

[Dei Enyt]

It launches a couple weeks before Spring Break for me, so I'll likely try to get it around that time.  If not, there's always summer when sales die down.

So, do you guys think the crowds will be worse than Halo 3?

no way.  brawl won't sell nearly that much, and there's not nearly that amount of hype.  Also, there's no worldwide release.


There won't be a midnight launch here for a few reasons.

1. We don't have a purely videogame store

2. Stores that require more than 10 people to run can't be open on a Sunday (Superstore is the only place i can get it from without driving for an hour)

3. Canada.  takes forever to ship here for some reason. :-\

What the heck? 

small city (14000 people)
mostly mennonite, basically all christian (no working on sundays!)
Manitoba

I don't understand why a low population keeps there from being a mid-night release and those other two reasons don't matter.  Gamestop is run by nerdy 40 year old men.  Also, I'm sure Saturday through Sunday mid-night releases have been done before. 

thats a horrible stereotype. i was at gamestop yesterday and chatted with the people there. theyw ere pretty darn cool. i think one was only like 2 years older than me

if you would have read my previous post that I wrote up, You would have noticed that we don't have a Gamestop here, and Superstore isn't open on sundays.

we never get games on launch date, and IIRC, isn't the launch date a Saturday?  Meaning the store will only open the packaging on the monday of, which I have school on.

meaning I still can't get it unless I go to Winnipeg, in which case I still won't get it because I'm in manitoba.

Is GameStop having midnight lauches? Or just Nintendo World?

The Gamestops where I live aren't. :(

I know the one where I preordered mine is having a Brawl tourney when it comes out... winner gets a free game.
I wonder if I should sign up???

Gamestop near me is having a midnight launch.  Plus, I reserved it, so I for sure get it

[Neerb]

I reserved it and fully paid for it last summer.  :)
However, going to a midnight lauch might still be fun; I could go with my friends who want to get it but haven't already reserved it.
Of course, I highly doubt there will even be a line... Smash is popular, and the console it's on is impossible to get, yet for some reason, I doubt there will be any lines...
