Additional 12 hour wait for Info...

[Chepe]

It has been confirmed that the Nintendo of Japan site states that smashbros.com will be opened on May 22 after noon. We have to wait an additional 12 hours minimum after the time smashbros.com updated every day this week...

http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n00/index.html

Seems Sakurai will wait until midday in Japan to release the info so his people are awake during the grand opening. It looks like we will be getting a "0 days" on the Smash site tomorrow...

 

[Fawriel]

Sad but apparently true. Makes sense, though. You don't want your huge commercial explosion to be on while good kids should be in bed. Or in school, depending on where you live.

On the other hand, that way it'll start at a time when the rest of the world should be in bed... hehe. Evil!

 

[FSLMJM]

I hope not...

btw, when will it open if I live in Hawaii? thanks

I asked this like 3 times but no one answers...

There are some who claim that the Nintendo of Japan site states that smashbros.com will be opened on May 22 after noon. We might have to wait an additional 12 hours if this is true...

http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n00/index.html

It seems very likely that Sakurai will wait until midday in Japan to release the info. Is there anyone who can read Japanese that can verify this? It looks like we might be getting a "0 days" on the Smash site tomorrow...

someone call SamuraiPanda!

Kimhari of GameFaqs translated it... it's true.

Just google how much your time differs from japans and you'll get your answer.

Nevermind, just read the guy's message.

message detail The thing on Nintendo's news does say afternoon / PM on the 22nd. And yes, I can read it.

Meh, an extra 12 hours won't kill. Makes sense at least, why release the site when it's the dead of night for your own country, lol.

 

[Mr.GAW]

Kimhari of GameFaqs translated it... it's true.

Yup. I hate when people think Samurai is the only one who knows Japenese.

And Chepe, good job for giving everyone the heads up. There will still be a ton of N00bs asking what the hell happened though.

Put in google something like this:
What time is it in Japan?
And it should tell you, well the time. Calculate how many hours ahead or behind of you is their time and voila!

 

[OmegaXXII]

so basically it has been pushed back twelve hours i guess on the bright side it is good news that I won't have to miss out while i'm at school

 

[Chepe]

I would have tried to catch the Panda's attention if hadnt known that he is currently in Japan, inconveniently located away from Computer access...

Hmm, so this is apparently true? Well peeps, if you were waiting for info at a certain time AM, just switch the time to PM and there you go...

 

[Mr.GAW]

Mhmm. Chepe, you should change the title from a question mark to a period. I think we have enough eveidence to call this one true.

 

[Toologist]

Eh, it's 12 hrs. It's not like we'll be waiting for a whole effing week for news.

 

[Mr.Lombardi KnockOuT]

Oh! I dont want to wait another day

 

[Destiny Smasher]

Where are we getting this 12 hour wait from?

If I'm getting this correctly, you're saying that they have been updating the site at midnight on every day, meaning that for us on the east coast, it's about 11am every day.

So you;re saying they'll wait until midday and not midnight, meaning it will be more like midnight tomorrow here, correct?

That makes sense, since it would be after the event.
I don't know, I'll just wait and see.

 

[keko_keko]

Dang, seems kinda odd that they'd make the counter trigger for midnight rather then noon for the previous days though.

 

[FSLMJM]

Ok thanks, I got it I think..

So, if I am right, us in Hawaii should get the news at around 5-6:00 pm.

Yup. You figured it out for yourself. I can understand why you'd want confirmation though.

 

[Chepe]

Sorry for being a newb, but I really dont know how to edit thread titles. Anyone tell me how?

 

[WR3K]

jesus...... i was looking forward to checking it after school tomarrow (around 5 pm for me in germany, but im not german im an american living here right now)


now i have to wait TUESDAY..... ****it...

 

[Mr.Lombardi KnockOuT]

This SUCKS

 

[Mr.GAW]

Sorry for being a newb, but I really dont know how to edit thread titles. Anyone tell me how?

Actually, now that I think about it, I recall that only mods can change thread titles, so don't worry about it.

 

[The Director]

Ha! Now the ball's in my court!

Looks like all us dead lazy bum college students who don't get up until 2 PM will wake up to news tomorrow!

Whateves. We're still getting it tomorrow, so let's just stop *****in' and play some Smash to pass the time.

 

[bluethree]

I have a very limited knowledge of the Japanese language and I can confirm that the site indeed says that the dojo will be upgraded "in the afternoon".

 

[Zinc]

y'know.
Maybe Sakurai will update the America site at the usual time he always updates the counter, and then update the japanese time in the afternoon.

Therefore everyone is happy.

 

[Hoboman725]

so, I don't get it, why didn't they consider this when they first put the site up?

 

[Chepe]

No point. Sakurai would open the Japanese section of the site before the English one, if he were to do it at different times...

Sakurai wont screw his own people by letting them see only pictures for 12+ hours...

 

[petre]

Sorry for being a newb, but I really dont know how to edit thread titles. Anyone tell me how?

wait, cant you change it by editing the first post?

anyway, this sucks. oh well. im still gonna check at midnight though, just in case something slips.

 

[Zinc]

wait, I think I got this fizzled out.

If it's Midnight here it's Noon in Japan right?
and everyone everywhere already knows it's 1 Day away.
Would'nt that mean tonight at midnight the site updates?

 

[Tera253]

I hope not...

btw, when will it open if I live in Hawaii? thanks

I asked this like 3 times but no one answers...

Hawaii is 3 hours befre MST, and if it's midnight in Japan, it's 9:00 where all the cool people live (that's the mountain states for all of you west/east coasties)
yes, that's right. since there are so few people here, we are the cool ones.

anyhoot, 9-3=6, so it'd be 6:00 AM in Hawaii. Tera would jsut be waking up to get ready to go to her eraly morning class ("0 hour") at school.

If, however, it's 12 hours later, then Tera will just be getting out of Wendy's.
~Tera253~

EDIT: scratch that. Tera just thought of something.
*goes to post it*

Japanese site says afternoon on 5/22, which is tuesday.... which starts approximately midnight (11 PM actually) eastern time tomorrow night.

 

[The Director]

Yeah, we're looking at an 11PM update for us east coasties. (Sorry Tera. Clearly you've never spent much time in the bigg apple.)

I don't mind. We've waited this long, we can all wait a little bit longer.

 

[Johnknight1]

O well, I can be lazy and sleep in til 8 AM instead of beinglike "zomg smash is teh best evr. dat was craze", and random stuff like that=yae! 8 PM is just so much better, and 12 Noon is so much beter for Japan, almost everyone is happy (except maybe Europe).

 

[Mr.GAW]

^^^ Yup. And Asia.

 

[Bakuryu]

Im confused arent they talking about Noon IN Japan which would be 12pm there right? Which in EST is still 11am.

 

[pesticide]

Yeah, we're looking at an 11PM update for us east coasties. (Sorry Tera. Clearly you've never spent much time in the bigg apple.)

I don't mind. We've waited this long, we can all wait a little bit longer.

so, that means that if we're on the EC, then tomorrow at 11pm the site will update? or is it tonight at 11pm?

 

[bluethree]

11 am is only one hour before 12 pm. est is 13 hours behind Japan. 12 pm in Japan = 11 pm est.

 

[Red_Maniac]

Aww...

Oh well. Nothing to do but wait.

 

[Mr.GAW]

so, that means that if we're on the EC, then tomorrow at 11pm the site will update? or is it tonight at 11pm?

Tom. at 11.

 

[cyberdemon]

So when will the site update? 11 pm tonight? 11 pm monday? 11 pm tuesday?
EDIT: posted before Mr. GAW answered...

 

[Mr.GAW]

^^^ Only at 11 if you're on the East Coast. Everywhere else will have a different time.
