nooooo 3 months after us release (i hoped 1-2 months after us release) and is that a nintendo site (i mean: is it official)

 

[Staco]

thats only ****
europe is mostly faked
4 month for a little bit translating!

pure fake of nintendo to us europeans! <<

dont be happy about this date, it would be come latest in july or so, as there wasnt no date
and now, we got a **** bad late date!
**** off <<

Funny. The English UK version of the Smash Dojo still says there is no release date for Brawl in Europe, the video linked to in the article doesn't have a date at all and the only site claiming to know the release date is French.

Hmmmm... you'd think something this big would receive more coverage. Excuse me if I remain sceptical.

 

[Staco]

wiiinsider.de a german site says this, too
pls come in mai or april in europa, plsss is the 6 june not true =)

Wiiinsider.de cites WiiZ (the French site) as their source, though. So it's just one site claiming to have the release date and another spreading it further.

It's like me starting a rumor that there's a sexy skimpy outfit Pit in the European PAL release and someone else spreading it citing me as their source.

That really sucks. I hope it is a fake. I understand they have to find voice actors etc. but this is too much.

 

[fishsticks]

That's way too long of a time period between the US date and this.

How the hell would it take 3 months to add a couple more languages to the game?

 

[Talvi]

At least now we know it. The worst it's that with exams I won't get it until July probably so... let's bite some nails.

Thanks again nintendo for taunting us.

 

[Staco]

its not a fake <<
n-zone said it too, now
and they have it not form this french magazine

 

[Impossibilities]

omg..you guys arn't even thinking...it took them 1 month to translate japanese to english....how many languages are there in europe?! over 5....not only that, but there's rumors of complications with mass production of brawl...they just need time to make more copies before they release them so no one has to wait an incredibly long time to get their hands on one. (Remeber Halo2/3?)

Mario galaxy was released a few days apart from the japanese and US version, so that's not a valid argument. Nintendo just needs to get their **** together and stop ignoring european gamers.

You know how much text is in Super Smash Bros. Brawl compared to Super Mario Galaxy?! Thank you.

They aren't ignoring you... there's a reason for the delay. So just wait. There are other games to play, you know.

1) Why do people think translation of a god can only occur once the game has been completely programmed? I mean, there isn't even much talking in Brawl and a lot of it is already in English. The stuff they'll have to dub for the alternate languages are very minute (text + possibly certain Pokémon voices like Jigglypuff in Melee). And they could've started dubbing a year ago.
2) What rumors of complications? And rumor = Truth?
3) So instead of just shafting the fans who won't be able to get their hands on the game in the initial pressing, they're shafting everyone by delaying it it even further? Good logic.

I read somewhere that the UK release date was in May.

 

[T.U.C.]

the release is a lie

 

[Mobbin]

the release is a lie

I hope so.

There's other ways to say "We hate Europeans!", Nintendo!

greetz

Translation of the article:

"It's official! At the Micromania Games Awards, Nintendo announced Super Smash Bros. Brawl in France and the rest of Europe for June 6, 2008! More than a few weeks of patience and this length weighted will be rewarded, friends!"

I've looked into it, the Micromania Games Awards is a credible event...however, I've seen no announcements from the hosters of the event themselves, and have yet to find a schedule to translate...it seems like an odd place for Nintendo to announce a release date for Brawl, but I'd say it does have some credibility.

This is most likely the official release date, sadly. It makes sense when you look at the gap between the US and EU releases on SSB and Melee.

I blame the extra translation that has to be done >_>

Good thing there aren't any conversations or dialogues in the game or we would probably have to wait even longer, for both EU and US releases.

 

[Storm Eagle]

Thank God I imported Brawl. June is THREE months after the American release. WHAT ARE THEY THINKING?

 

[Electivired!]

What are Nintendo Europe doing right now instead of translating Brawl?

 

[Sgt.Frog]

Please let this be real. I guess I can swallow a June release, any later would be taking the piss.

I so want this to be real.
;_;

 

[Staco]

dont think its ebacuse of the translating, omg
they dont need much time to translate and they could make their own translate teams, while the game is made!
its only because nintendo wants to bring the game in europe to this date, thats it!

 

[Electivired!]

I read somewhere that the UK release date was in May.

I think you read it on GAME's website. 1st May 2008 which is a Thursday but games are normally released on a Friday.

 

[AerionTOFAST4U]

AHH! FINALLY! atleast we got a ****ing release date!!!

 

[Jellybelly]

First off, the only reason Galaxy was released practically worldwide was to cash in on christmas.

Secondly, i said to myself recently

April = Fine
May = Pushing it
June = No way in hell

So I shall defenitely be modding my wii. Getting brawl 3 months earlier will be worth the extra expense.

 

[Luteyi]

Look on the bright side, at least its not predicted for release much later this year.

Atleast if you import from us, you'll be able to read it lawl

 

[Pluvia's other account]

Wait till the Dojo.

But June is just pushing it to far, what the hell are NoE doing right now?

 

[ConeZone]

what site is that? it doesn't look very reliable, but good for Europeans if that is the date, i know i wouldn't want to wait much longer haha

 

[3D Hero]

Awww. I really feel sorry for 'em.
' hope there aren't many suicides.

 

[yoshi_fan]

I'm suicidng.

Bye bye all.

I'm becoming a yoshi in the next life. It isn't that bad...

 

[Soluble Toast]

Wow.
That's a lot better than I expected. I expected July/August/ September.

Oh well. It's always better to have your hopes low. That way, you'll be pleasantly surprised that's it June, and not annoyed xD

 

[DarkShadowRage]

Well, Atleast they have some sort of date, I feel bad for the people in Europe for a long wait though =/
Here is hoping you get an earlier release!

 

[Hiemie]

Hey, they spelled "never" wrong.

 

[INs4niTY-]

hmm well GAME says its released in april ready to order and Gamplay says its released at the end of march. confusing

 

[Ouendanation]

That's way too long of a time period between the US date and this.

Translating is MUCH harder than you'd think. It's not the translating itself; they have to edit nearly EVERY file in the game. And Japanese characters stand for SOUNDS, and not LETTERS, and the sentence structure is COMPLETELY different, so text is generally shorter. When they translate to english, it makes them longer, and many issues can come up, like the amount of characters on a line, etc.

 

[Amea]

Is this date really legit? i did hear this from a a source in the netherlands also, well i don't really mind right now since i am happily playing my japanese original game, if you own the game , add me if you will my info is under my username. So i will happily wait for my english game to be released.
