Super Smash Bros. Brawl Stuff

I never really was that much into Nintendo-style games. I never owned a Nintendo console except for the Wii. Now, I'm getting more into that stuff, Super Mario Galaxy for example, what a great game, lots of creativity.

In about 9 days Super Smash Bros. Brawl is going to be released in North America (March 9th, apparently, some people got it earlier). Lots of people are hyped about this game, including me, I even pre ordered my copy, and here's the best part, I never really played the Smash Bros. series, and I never played a fighting game before. I don't know what to expect from this game.

I've watched lots of videos on YouTube, lurking on the Smash World Forums, and listening to podcasts about the game. I'm still what this game is like. I played Melee about a week ago in EB Games. I felt like I was just mashing buttons, but thats probably because I only played for 5 minutes with the GameCube controller, which I'm not familiar with at all.

Hopefully all my wonderings (is that a word?) will be answered soon.

P.S. Comment, comment, and comment.

My Setup!

I thought that my first post should be about my current setup. I'm going to list the stuff that you guys see in the picture first, then I will talk about them a little bit. Ok, here we go:

MacBook:

2.0GHz Core 2 Duo
80GB Hard Drive
1GB of RAM
Monitor:
20 Inch Dell SP2008WFP
1680*1050 Native Resolution
VGA (640*480) Webcam
4 USB Ports

Computer Accessories:

LaCie 500GB External Hard Drive
Apple Aluminum Keyboard (Wired)
Microsoft Laser Mouse 6000
Creative Labs Inspire 245 2.0 Speaker System

Gaming:
Nintendo Wii Console
1 Nunchuck
1 Wii Remote
Super Mario Galaxy
Wii Sports, of course

Portable Devices:
iPhone 8GB (Jailbroken, unlocked, and updated to 1.1.3)

First of all, I should let you all know that I'm using my desktop monitor as my Wii monitor through the XCM 1080p VGA Box (maybe I'll do a review on it one day!). I have the MacBook connected to the VGA box through the Apple Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter, and the Wii connected to the VGA through the component cable that came with the VGA box. I also have the sound output form the MacBook connected to the VGA box. The VGA box is connected to the monitor via VGA cable. Everything else (accessories) is connected via USB, either through the MacBook or the monitor.
