Super Smash Bros. Brawl a Corrupting Influence

Nintendo is corrupting our youth. The latest release on the dojo for Super Smash Bros. Brawl is the scoop on the Spectator mode. For those players who aren’t sure about the game, you may watch other people having a blast playing Brawl over a Wi-FI connect. No names are revealed so its completely annonymous, just like watching live TV.
Sounds lame at first but wait, there’s more. You can bet coins on either side, gambling on the matches.
And at the beginning of each match, you can even bet coins on the character you think will win. Glean what hints you can from the stages and combatants and try to deduce the winner.Of course, if your pick wins, your coin count will increase! And the more players in a match, the higher the payout. There may even be extra prizes.
Does this make Super Smash Bros. Brawl potentially illegal in some states?
Oh snap.
That’s all I got.
lol what do the ps3 fanboys have to say about that
Thats just so great news tbfh, still i’ll get the best ever fighting game series again when the new one will be out in Europe.
Get rid of it! Get rid of it! Think of the children, won’t someone PLEASE think of the children…who will be playing this game and having fun? Let them bet in that rather than in real life.
Wow! wii need new characters
Oh no, this is not good
.
wow… just freakin wow… i love nintendo as a company, but it has absolutely no balls when it comes to online. something like this, something that actually shows some cajones, news sites like this one bash for “corrupting youth”! you wanna see corrupted youth? youre obviously not looking at the right game, not a game with stars, flowers, pink puffballs, fairies, robots, and dragons. whoever wrote this article… shawn… with all due respect, quit being a faggot. the people who make this game obviously know what theyre doing and its always for the best.
potentially illegal in some states? i hope that was a joke. :\
That’s…weird…I’m hoping to get a Wii for X-mas but I didn’t know that if I get a SSBB game then I could do that….I barely understand the coin thing…
You know, when I saw the name of this post, I thought it meant something bad. Then when I looked at it, I burst out laughing
. I personally don’t see anything wrong with it, especially since there’s no real money being given away.
@someone
It’s like betting money on the outcome of a football game except that there is no actual money changing hands.
BTW Yes this whole article is poking fun at the media hysteria over games and their influence on our children. Who knows, maybe my kids will learn some math while they play.
ROFL WTF?? your kidding right? with games like GTA or scarface out there??
Id say your a qwak…
I seriously hope that nintendo brings back captain falcon, he was my favorite character! Well, other than Ganandorf and he hasn’t come back either. I am going to get seriusly pwned this spring.
Oh my gosh. Seperate the realism from the video games. It’s not like you have to buy the game for your kid. Let’s also state that the game is rated T and not suitable for kids under the age 13. You’re the parent. If you don’t like it, don’t let them play it. Perhaps instead of letting your child control you, why don’t you be a parent and make sure they don’t lay their hands on this game if you really have a problem with it. Problem solved.
Why are you saying this game is corrupting when thousands of kids are playing
Halo 3 every day, shooting the snaut out of eachother for no reason
thats pretty gay
