How do I make Super Smash Brothers Brawl for the Wii work?
Is there anything to make sure that my Super Smash Brothers Brawl game will work on my Nintendo Wii?
I have tried so many things, including cleaning scratches off of the disk with products purchased at Wal-Mart, but the disk still takes a long time to be able to be read by the gaming machine (sometimes up to 2 hours). The only thing I can think of is to clean the lens on the Wii that reads the disk, but all of the products sold for that clearly states not to use it on gaming systems and I don't want to mess up my Wii.

Hello there,
There is a lot of talk about this on the net, lately, and the folks at Nintendo Wii headquarters know all about it.
Here is an excerpt from the nintendo Wii repair site:
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.)
"How can I get this fixed and how long will it take?"
If you are experiencing disc read errors, please utilize the form below to request a repair order. Nintendo is upgrading inbound and outbound shipping to expedite the total repair process. Specific repair times will be provided as you fill out the repair form below. There is no cost for the repair or shipping. Please note: returning the game to the retail store will not solve the problem. So we encourage users who are experiencing issues with playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl to utilize this repair order process.
"What if I have Virtual Console games or other stored data on my Wii console?"
Due to the nature of this particular issue, you should not lose any of your stored data. In some rare cases you may have to re-download your Virtual Console games from the Wii Shop Channel, but there is no cost to doing so.
"Who can use this form?"
Consumers who are at least 13 years old, and live in:
* The continental United States, Alaska, or Hawaii
* Puerto Rico
* U.S. Territories (such as Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands)
* APO/FPO addresses

Here are some links to other sites that talk about the problems with Super Smash Brothers Brawl not working on the Wii:
"Looks like Super Smash Bros Brawl is having some problems working on a few Wii out there. We've only received a handful of complaints about this here at Kotaku, but it's a big enough problem that Nintendo already has a site set up to deal with the problem in North America..."

"Stayed up late to get your hands on the hottest game this month, Super Smash Brothers: Brawl, and got the ‘friendly’ message: “Unable to read disc?” Well, Nintendo can fix that for you, as they announced on their website..."

""I kept getting disc read errors, with different SSBB discs, but I found that if I put it in and let the Wii do all its scanning, before I started spamming 'A' to get to the game started, it usually started up. Basically, put the disc in, you can hear it making disc-reading sounds. Wait until they settle down, press A on the SSBB icon on the Wii menu, repeat the waiting process til the disc stops making reading sounds, then start the game with the Wiimote. I found that helped a lot."..."

there must just be a problem with the game if other Wii games work just fine. take the game back and if you can get a new one or your money back. if not then i think your just out of luck and will have to buy another. but if this happens to all your Wii games go get your Wii checked out cause its probably the problem. you could also go to a game store and ask them about why the game wont work but they will probably just tell u to use a product and since you already have i doubt it will change your outcome. good luck :)
Hope i helped
