Better online mode for US

[munsif]

No this isnt a rumour or a fact. But does anyone think the reason why it is being delayed in the US is for a better online mode ?(i.e. a leader board) i think it is more likely than them adding Mewtwo and Roy.

it was delayed to make more copies... if there was a leaderboard, it would be on Dojo

i believe there were localization problems, doesnt take long to make many copies of one disk

They're not making one disk, they have to make at least several hundred thousand--and still produce tons of other games at the same time. There were initial shortages in Japan; Nintendo's trying to avoid that here.

actually, "sold out" lke in japan wouldn't exactly fly in the U.S, maybe a Surplus of copies, so EVERY STORE IN AMERICA gets like 60 copies

I highly doubt that. Nintendo isn't one to often do leaderboards. And if there were, it'd discourage the other lower gamers (not saying I'm one of those to give up), from playing online to see how low they are in the rankings against the higher ups. While they can just play whoever they want in Friends Code mode, or just have a slobberknocker of a fight in a 2:00 minute free for all in the Anyone mode.

Besides. You can play online with a Japanese gamer, the servers wouldn't be different in terms of the quality of the online mode. At this point? I'm more inclined to believe the Roy & Mewtwo story.

Yeah probably just to make more copies.

I'd rather would have had this game 2 weeks ago, rather than have 2 extra clones.

The reason they delayed the game here was to manufacture more Wiis and copies of the game so it will sell very well on the first day.

i thought it had to do with configuring online play and such. and of course making more copies. but no, it doesn't really make sense to make two different versions of the same game that is going to be played online

Mewtwo a clone? Are you and others STILL going on about Lucario being a clone of Mewtwo?! XD

Good lord. -_-; Roy, I can understand being similar to Marth with a few alterfications, but I'd enjoy his precense nonetheless. Casually, he was VERY popular in that crowd. And Mewtwo has absolutely NOTHING in common with Lucario (I'm assuming you're comparing him to the 4th Gen pup) except for the standard special, which isn't even the same anyways. Lucario's gains power with the more damage he takes, and flies on a straight trajectory. Mewtwo's is already fully powered and flies on a jagged flight pattern. Otherwise Lucario is FAR from a clone. And many characters have a power-up projectile.

2 weeks isn't that long of a wait. The more the merrier, I say.

Weren't leaderboards recently confirmed for the new Mario Kart? I still don't think leaderboards will be in Brawl, but I don't think it is an impossibility.

They'll probably incorporate a Wii channel for those that want leader boards like they're doing with Mario Kart, but that wouldn't cause delay.

Like everyone has said already, it's to make more copies for release.

 

[Rauzaruke]

Why does anyone want leader boards in the first place? I thought the reason they didn't implement them was to discourage E-***** whoring. It would be better to prove your worth at tournaments. :/

 

[ClickOnTheLink]

Sakurai said he did not want leaderboards, my guess is ( localiztion + ensuring there are enough copies at launch) X (it is very rare for games to ship simultaneously in Japan and in US) = delay

Ok Mewtwo isn't a clone.

BUT, if this is true, why couldn't they release it Feb 10th, then have DLC like what japan is getting?

Localization. Reproduction.

Simple enough. You should know by now we always get things late.
