Super Smash Bros. Brawl dirty laser disc-read error hits US too
Reports have emerged today revealing that some owners of U.S. copies of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, which was released today, are having the same disc read error problems that plagued the Japanese version. Nintendo of America say it's down to dirty lasers and recommend you send it to them to repair. They advise "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.)"

"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.)"
Nintendo has also noted that "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."
