Reason why Brawl is delayed in Europe?

[RamOne]

The reason is that they need to recolor R.O.B.

 

[Shazz]

Nintendo hates Europe. Every good thing they make, like the Wii or Brawl, has to wait and/or is sold out everywhere and not being produced fast enough.

Why?

the NA version of Brawl has R.O.B in the Famicom colors (Red and White). When R.O.B it self was released here in North America, he was Grey.

I don't think they have to recolor R.O.B besides they have a color change

Europe is getting Mario Kart Wii first

watch it get delayed in NA by a month

The guys at Nintendo are probably just being lazy right now.

How can something which has never had a release date be delayed?

watch it get delayed in NA by a month

To be honest I wouldn't be surprised if MK gets delayed everywhere. I mean, it's hardly had any exposure, I don't know, just feels a little rushed. It's only a month away! Or maybe that's just me .

But MK will glady tide me over before Brawl, if it is to have it's April release.

True dat, but you should remember that soccer(it has different meaning than football depending are you speaking/writing American english or English) isn't so popular in America, where they prefer football over it so there's no a very good reason to release it in states first.

I agree with ~N9NE~ that 16 days isn't enough to satisfy mine or any other europeans frustration when waiting for brawl. It should be atleast that already mentioned month so every one coul feel the pain of PAL area people, and don't forget Australia, if I my memory serves me right they get MK about 4 days before states... ...or was it later...

 

[-: Trey :-]

That was the reason? XD why even bother with the colour! I thought it may be becuase wi-fi play here in the Americas was so bad that they might have tried to make it better for Europeans. But delaying just to change the colour of R.O.B is just crazy imo.

 

[Chaosblade77]

I used to say "You guys get Mario Kart first" before I saw release dates, but I agree that 16 days is nothing.

To the OP: I doubt it. As said above, ROB has the Japanese colors in the US version, and I don't remember if he has the gray colors for the US (and I think European) version.

Also, it's not really "Nintendo hates Europe," because Europe has it's own division of Nintendo that makes decisions on release dates and deals with localization. If anything, you should blame Nintendo of Europe for not putting enough emphases on the game.

 

[~N9NE~]

1. Thread creator is probably joking.

2. 16 days is nothing, however I wouldn't wish that the States would have to wait months after us for another game as revenge. I just want close worldwide release dates like for Galaxy.

3. ZaP is right. MSC was released in Europe first because football is 10 million times more popular here then it is in the States. Pretty easy decision which should get it first.

Lol, Americans always try comforting us poor Europeans by saying that. Not to mention that you get it 2 WEEKS LATER! geez

Localization.

Yes, it's ridiculous why NoE is keeping mum on things. But it's not to recolor R.O.B., yet it amazes me how some are taking you seriously.
