Super Smash Bros. Brawl officially went on sale today in Japan. While us Westerners still have more than a month before we can get our hands on this excellent title, hundreds of Japanese gamers were lined up at the Akihabara Yodobashi Camera, waiting to get their hands on Nintendo’s latest.

Will Brawl surpass Galaxy’s first week sales numbers in Japan? Very likely, if the launch today is any indication.
