Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I was checking the Smash Bros. Dojo website every night at Japan Time™. I was actually on dial-up Internet for a good portion of the time leading up to the game, so...my F5ing was extra deliberate. I flipped when Lucas was announced. And of course, I was lurking GAF to read everyone's reactions to each tidbit every day. I remember everyone on here having Kirby Super Star avatars for some reason...oh yeah, and this was back when we had animated avatars.
Anyway, thankfully I had better Internet when the game launched, as well as a new big screen TV to play it on, and play I did...I rushed through Subspace and when I finished that I took to online play. And no, I didn't have any connection issues. I played the game for 24 hours straight, and then I took a 45 minute nap and played for another 13 hours. Having a blast the whole time.
I know it's seen as the weak link in the series, and I agree with that now, but man that game was hitting the spot for me at the time. The hype absolutely paid off.
