Nintendo's highly awaited fighter Super Smash Bros. Brawl has had it's fair share of problems recently. Shortages of the game available, bugs in the Japanese version and now disc read errors being produced by some of the versions of the game sold in North America. Whilst this hasn't been a common occurence, it's big enough for Nintendo to set up a support website to help those who are suffering from the dreaded error.

Looks like Super Smash Bros Brawl is having some problems working on a few Wii out there. We've only received a handful of complaints about this here at Kotaku, but it's a big enough problem that Nintendo already has a site set up to deal with the problem in North America.

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.)
