[quote name='FaintDeftone']Why wouldn't Wii owners be able to play Brawl and buy the original on the VC instead?[/QUOTE]
Why would they have a reason to? Everyone is going to be so wrapped up in Brawl they don't give one flying crap about any other games coming out, let alone one thats 9 years old. I know a lot of people who started with Melee (I am one) and would've downloaded the original to give it a shot and give themselves a different experience from Melee, but like I said, why would they need to if Brawl just came out? It will still sell well regardless of when it comes out, but I think there was more money to be made by releasing it early.
