Service Announcement for certain Wii owners.

According to a bunch of reports across the web, some Nintendo Wii players are having problems getting Super Smash Bros. Brawl to work on their systems. It’s a big enough problem that Nintendo has posted a help page about it, telling those who are having issues to send in their machines to have them cleaned.

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.)
