Brawl release Jan 31st!!!!!!!

It looks like you can get Super Smash Bros Brawl on Jan 31st which is like two days away however, it is the Japanese version and you need a special chip to convert your nintendo wii. Yea, basically if you can't get this chip you can't play super smash bros brawl I have a couple of friends who are getting the import version because they are beasting to play it that badly. As for me I'm not risking damaging my wii with this chip, last time my friend got the same chip for his Playstation 2 and it over heated his system in two hours and might have crashed it, imagine what would happen if you put it on the wii? Well, whatever, I'm going to have patience and wait till March 9th and get my reserved copy and just cause you get a game mad early doesn't mean you'll be the best, I have been playing Melee when the game came out and I still have trouble beating people who just pick up the game.
