With Smash Bros. Brawl hitting players in the States today, unfortunate gamers have had similar disc reading problems to the Japanese release.

Those with disc reading errors on their Wii can complete the web-form and send in their console to be cleaned by Nintendo directly.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl utilizes a double-layer disc which has a large memory capacity. A very small percentage of Wii consoles may have trouble consistently reading data off this large capacity disc if there is some contamination on the lens of the disc drive. Nintendo has specialized cleaning equipment that can resolve this problem. (Please do NOT attempt to clean the lens yourself, as you may damage the system.)

Hmmm, I'm worried about our Wii - it's not exactly the cleanest Wii in the world. EEP.

Why is it so sensitive? Do they use Tesco value DVD+RW or something?

Nah way, that's too good quality
Probably didn't test out dual-layer properly imo.

If this is just an issue with the game, wouldn't it be more an issue with the game than the console?

It's specific to this game because it's the first to use a dual-layer dvd. The second layer is harder to read, so anything getting in the way of the laser is going to have more of an effect.
For some reason consoles seem to have more sensitive lasers than your average dvd drive, possibly to make life harder for pirates. Cheap media is harder to read because it skimps on the dye chemicals or whatever. That's why you have to use good quality discs for gamecube backups etc.
Microsoft use horrible cheap discs, the layers of plastic come apart and crack at the centre, especially if you pull them out of the boxes the wrong way (without pushing the button).

Well, I should be fine, as I'm hopefully getting a new Wii today. Finally replacing my second Wii with a fried GPU. On an almost totally unrelated note, why the hell can't you transfer Pokemon Battle Revolution, Eledees and Endless Ocean's save data to an SD card?

Hmmm...
How many of you have bought the game and have been affected by this problem
My wii stands on the living room that has 2 huge windows opened all day long. I`m worried.

My Wii sits next to my monitor. I don't move it a lot, and don't smoke in here.
I think it'll be fiiiine.
*waits for europe release*
Still, Mario Kart fun just around the corner.

WARNING!!
If you live in a house with anyone who smokes often (even if it's not in the room with your Wii) you will most likely have a problem!
I unfortunately fall into this category and have to send my wii in
Thankfully they upgraded the shipping to "2day air" both ways.

Smoking does cause dust, but not loads.
Put it this way, I\'ve had a Wii since release and I used to smoke until about 2 months ago, right in front of it, and it\'s still fine. Never had a hitch.
Obviously you don\'t want to blow smoke right into it, but i seriously doubt that someone smoking in the OTHER room will affect the wii at all.( Edited 09.03.2008 16:01 by Darkhound )

This happened to the Japanese Smash Bros. as well. Nintendo blamed it on dust.
We're all related in some sense, separated in some sense, and for and against each other in some sense. I'm hoping to impregnate a black girl, so that my evil seed may infiltrate their race.

Conducted with market research firm NPD, the study surveyed 2,611 gamers and determined that lines between casual and hardcore are blurry at best, and gamer demographics are broader than conventional thinking has held. As Big Fish chief strategy officer (CSO) Paul Thelen stated during a Casual Connect keynote, the traditional casual approach of "'one size fits all' doesn't work."

I don't smoke, but my room can get a bit dusty. I hope that when my import arrives, it works, because you can't exactly send an import to Nintendo.

They were obviously expecting this, as to have the website and repair facility ready up and running isn't just good fortune. I should imagine the Euro delay may well be to get the UK and Euro repair centres up to date ready for the release of SSBB over here.
Cleaning tip from Japan - use a cotton bud to clean the soft area (near the blue LED) around the disc drive every week
