Smash Bros Problem

bobcat · 06-26-2008, 04:57 PM

I bought SSB yesterday, so I get home and pop the disc in the Wii. Immediately the Wii sounds like it's struggling to read the disc, so I keep playing as any excited SSB player waiting 500000 years later than other regions would.

The fmv starts to skip, and then the load times are extremly long. Also the music stops playing at parts of the game.

I looked at the disc, it looks........fine but a bit cloudy? It was in the shrink wrap and all grrrrr, I will take this back today. Just wanted to vent so thanks for listening

I've noticed that with LOTS of discs nowadays, brand new out of the wrapper. They come "cloudy," as you said, which I guess is the best way to put it. It looks like the disc is warped somehow, but there are no scratches and it typically plays fine.

Is your wii horizontal or vertical now? Switching positions may help. There was a lot of troubles in here and Japan, reading dual-layer discs for the first time.

The Japanese had the same problem, I think? Wasn't it a hardware problem, Wiis that couldn't read dual-layered discs?

It was vertical, I tried putting it horizontal and the same thing exact. You think it's a problem with the Wii?? Every other game works fine. Mario Galaxy, Zelda, Mario Kart, Mario Strikers, Wii Fit etc

Oh Check it out :- http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/rep...rm_us_ssbb.jsp

That sux if the above is the case which i think it may be

SSBB is the first dual-layered disc, so other games might still work fine.

When I buy my Brawl tomorrow, I will check the disc for 'cloudiness'.

I remembering reading about a small portion of U.S. buyers having issues but then they released a firmware update for the Wii which fixed it. Fortunately, my copy was okay.

Sorry to hear of your misfortune. Hope you switch that disc soon so we can play!

It's not the disc, it's a dusty Wii lense.

Ok, I'm going to pick up mine!!

How come it's only for 'selected' wii's???? So pissed off. I told the nintendo helpdesk lady that I want compensation for my loss and I will get it god damn it.

I have to take my Wii and SSB back to nintendo........sux!

SSB is the first dual layer game for the Wii. This is probably the issue. I would report it to Nintendo and see what they say. A lot of times with stuff like that they'll take it back even if it's out of warranty.

*Edit: just read your link, yeah I think that's correct*
