A number of Wii users in Japan have been complaining that Super Smash Bros. Brawl fails to load or stutters during gameplay on their console.
Nintendo has deduced the problem is unclean lenses, due to dust and tobacco smoke. Brawl uses a dual layer DVD which they say is more sensitive to the imperfections.
The answer to this is simply to clean your Wii drive's lens (probably using one of those cleaning discs you can buy). Big N are offering cleaning services for free in Japan, providing customers send in their console, a warranty card and the SSBB disc.

How in god's name can they leave their Wiis alone long enough to collect dust? I play mine at least 2 hours a day.

That happened to my Wii once. Thank god I called Nintendo of America, all I had to do was pay the shipping and it was technically my fault the Wii broke.

Yikes, this might have caused a large problem with Brawl! Luckily it has a simple solution. If they include a cleaning disk in the North American release of Brawl I'm going to laugh.

Weird. But good idea, I guess. I want Brawl, lucky people in Japan. Good thing my Wii isn't dirty, I don't smoke, yay.

Hope that doesn't happen when it hits America.

I think the main criticism about SSBB is that the Wiimote controls are completely useless.

I hope that doesn't happen here in North America. That could cost millions.

People putting dusty discs in the Wii. How hard is it to wipe a disc over before use? At least the kids don't grab at spinning discs like in dreamcast, gamecube, ps2 slims etc and scratch them.

I don't know why, but seems funny. Luckily I don't smoke, so I don't need to worry about that problem.

I'd hate to have to wait EVEN LONGER for brawl.
LOZfan said:
So this must have been the reason for the delay! Why didn't you say that in the first place Nintendo?
wii fanatic said:
But on another note, DANG! Brawl needs both sides to play?! Pretty big game we're expecting here.

No one smokes in my house, so I'm in luck.

That sucks. That better not happen for the US game.
