So it's out in Japan, Falcon is now confirmed (yay!) and now this. This isn't so much a bug as a problem if you haven't updated the Wii's firmware in a while. The game requires newer firmware to run. That's actually normal on the PSP. The main difference is all PSP games that need higher firmware come with a firmware update right on the disk. Why doesn't Brawl do that? They can't expect people who lack an internet connection to scour the land for one just to update their firmware. Really they should have had this sort of thing handled from the start.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
