Talked with someone from Nintendo today.
Got nothing useful - except he did say he was going to pass on a suggestion I made (which I'll talk about in a post later).  I'm sure nothing will come from it, but, at least I tried.
Sucks to be me.
What happens if someone who has hacked their Wii sends me their Brawl file?  Will I even be able to copy it over to my system?
