Super Smash Bros. Brawl is Nintendo's latest incarnation in the popular Super Smash Bros. series of titles, featuring all-new characters ranging from Kirby and Wario to Samus and even Metal Gear Solid's Snake. After a long wait, a few delays, SSBB has hit retail today, although with a snag. Several people are reporting their Wii can't read the dual-layer discs.
