So apparently its an update data which gives you the error code which makes smash bros unplayable. So people started deleting this update data so that they can start playing the single player at least.

Upon deleting the update, it completely bricks the Wii U.

Which is worse? Viewtiful Joe 2 demo deleting all saved data back on the PS2 or this?

I don't think they've rushed it, sometimes bugs just manage to squeeze their way in. You reach a point when the amount of time and effort it would take to find and fix them all isn't worth it. Hopefully they patch it though, there's no excuse to leave major bugs in games anymore.

I agree they need more studios though. They have by far the largest/most active 1st party, but it's not enough to make up for the content gap left my 3rd parties.

You really think all they worked on is brawl? the teams do other projects.

I am sure they would have loved for mario kart and smash to take a bit more time to do. They hoped that 3rd parties would pickup the drought periods but instead they deserted them.

The fact is their droughts are so bad now between major hits it is painful.  PS4 i think I bought like 5-6 retail games in November alone. This is only possible cause of 3rd party support. 

So, basically, second Smash in a row I'll skip. Thanks Nintendo.

Sadly you'll have to skip the next Zelda game too. I doubt this "rush the game" mentality is only going to affect Smash.

PS: You are a pussy, scared of a little bug.

Guys. This is one small ass issue that will most likely be fixed very shortly. This is not a reason to not buy Smash and this is certainly not as bad as the issues MCC or AC are having. I think everyone is blowing this way out of proportion. We don't even know if it's widespread!

I can bear bugs in Zelda games, like the one in Skyward Sword with the dragoon's musical notes in Eldin Volcano or the one in Twilight Princess in the canon room because I just have to restart the game. This time, just like with Brawl, my console is in danger.

Oh that's not good, I believe I've seen this error code, or it might have been 018-0513. In any case I am not going to touch the Data Management until this is fixed.

This bug is supposed to originate from the update file. So there is no guarantee that the next Zelda won't have a system breaking bug.

You are just being a scaredy cat . Buy the game and contribute to lord Iwata.

Except they made KI:U in between and then had to bring on Bamco to get the game out quicker.
