Super Smash Bros. Brawl mette in crisi il gruppo ottico di alcune Nintendo Wii

Beh, il titolo come al solito e' fuorviante...

Cmq per una console che non e' che la Nintendo ne esca fuori benissimo, per una console con poco piu' di un anno di vita avere gia' problemi del genere non e' che sia una notizia spettacolare.

E poi ci credo pure che in Giappone o Usa chiami al telefono e ti arriva in casa l'omino Nintendo vestito da idraulico che in 5 min ti mette tutto a posto, ma qui in Italia non sarei cosi' ottimista...

Nintendo Wii non è l'unica console che risente di questo tipo di problematiche. Nel caso di PlayStation 3, ad esempio, è disponibile un tool che impedisce l'infiltrazione di polvere e fumo all'interno della scocca della console (vedi qui). Evidentemente, nessun produttore di terze parti ha pensato ad una soluzione del genere per la console di Nintendo.

REDMOND, Wash., March 17, 2008 – After just one week on store shelves, Super Smash Bros.® Brawl for Wii has become the fastest-selling video game in Nintendo of America's history. Since its launch on March 9, the feature-packed fighting action game has sold more than 1.4 million units in the United States, including more than 874,000 on March 9 alone. It has sold at a rate of more than 120 units per minute between launch and March 16.

"Super Smash Bros. Brawl has made the leap from video game to cultural phenomenon," said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. "Game reviewers and the public alike praise its fun game play and extensive, inventive content."

Super Smash Bros. Brawl features a nearly limitless variety of options for players. Dozens of classic Nintendo characters like Mario™ and Pikachu® are joined by industry icons like Sonic The Hedgehog™ and Metal Gear's Solid Snake for all-out four-player battles. The endless customization keeps players coming back for more. The previous game in the series, Super Smash Bros.® Melee, became the best-selling Nintendo GameCube™ game of all time with more than 7 million copies sold worldwide, so it's no surprise to see this latest installment racking up record numbers.

"It's important to remember," Dunaway said, "that we have lots more fun on the way: Upcoming titles like Mario Kart® Wii and Wii Fit™ will keep our momentum going strong."

Mario Kart Wii launches April 27 with the Wii Wheel™, which lets players drive their speedy karts with the intuitive feel of a wireless steering wheel. It's another "bridge" game like Wii Sports™ that lets video game novices and veterans play and have fun together. Wii Fit arrives May 19 with the Wii Balance Board™ to combine fun and fitness. It lets users track their progress over time, and it's an easy way for every member of the family to keep active and play together.

Remember that Wii features parental controls that let adults manage the content their children can access. For more information about this and other Wii features, visit Wii.com.
