Game Crazy, a leading video game retailer, is giving fans the ultimate opportunity to punch, kick and smash their way to game-related prizes at launch parties for the eagerly awaited third installment of Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros. series.
Beginning at 8 p.m. on Saturday, March 8th, Game Crazy stores across the country are staying open late for fans who want to be among the first to get their hands on the highly anticipated Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Nintendo Wii system. The new game goes on sale at 12:01 a.m. on Sunday, March 9th.
To celebrate the launch of the new game, Game Crazy is encouraging fans of all ages to come dressed as their favorite video game character. Many stores will be hosting Super Smash Melee and Wii Sports tournaments for prizes while fans wait for the new game to officially go on sale. Game Crazy is also holding a text-to-win contest in which customers can win a $250 gift card.
“We’ve had a lot of pre-orders for Super Smash Bros. Brawl and from what we’ve seen of the game already we know it’s going to be one of the most innovative and entertaining titles to come out in a long time,” said Dave Hulegaard, game enthusiast and buyer for Game Crazy. “This game features an incredible number of hall of fame characters. Finally Mario, Sonic the Hedgehog, Donkey Kong, Zelda, Pikachu and many others can duke it out for the ultimate bragging rights. It’s also infinitely customizable so you can replay the game over and over and never have exactly the same experience.”
Hulegaard believes fans will be most excited about a sprawling adventure mode in the game called “The Subspace Emissary.” “It’s a full game in itself,” he said. “Players jump and brawl their way through enemy-packed side-scrolling levels, meeting up with other characters, watching incredible cinematics and taking on massive bosses. What makes this mode even cooler is that Super Smash Bros. Brawl has Wi-Fi capability so up to four players can brawl against each other remotely.”
Super Smash Bros. Brawl is rated T for teen audiences. Fans looking for more information about Game Crazy’s launch parties in their area can go to www.gamecrazy.com.
