I just started playing it, personally. My Wii makes a semi-horrid drive-seeking (seek, seek... seek seek seek seek seeseek... I wish it would stop) sound while playing... is that normal, or is my Wii in bad shape?

The game is very load-heavy.... so if your Wii has a loud drive it can be annoying.

A loud drive can be indicative of a well used Wii.... but mine for instance didn't start to make noises until after I dropped it (about 30 cm onto carpet, but the disc was still in too)... and it has been getting steadily louder since then.

It's still not a distraction if you turn the volume up... but the problem with some games (my two being Endless Ocean and Deadly Creatures) is that they can have very quiet periods of gameplay, and if in a heavy loading area it isn't nice.

I am thinking of buying Brawl specifically because it might not work, so I might be able to send in my Wii to Nintendo, who will likely get it running smooth as silk.
