ok, before I call nintendo support, I want to run this by the internet. I bought Super Smash Brother Brawl the other day and my Wii keeps locking up. The game just freezes and the Wii it totally unresponsive. Even the power button does nothing. I have to unplug the console. After this happened, I played Need For Speed Carbon for 2 hours on the Wii with no problems. The SSBB disk is perfectly clean with no defects. It doesn’t seem to matter what mode I play, they all lock up.
Now I am wondering, could it be linked to using a Wavebird game cube controller? The Wii doesn’t lock up in gamecube games but maybe SSBB does something different? I tried just the Wii remote but I’m not able to really play it hard for 20 minutes but just sitting around in game menus with the Wii remote doesn’t cause the lockups.
Any ideas?
