The Japanese version is being released in January. I forget the date, but it is officially coming out in January.
I believe it's Jan. 24 for Japan.

sweet, i should go there during the christmas holidays and bring one back and make everyone jealous. :]
Isn't the game going to be region locked? Having the Japanese game would kill me. Having a copy of Brawl and not being able to play it = unbearable.

I hope that the delay means they are putting in gamertages and voicechat in wi-fi mode. A boy can dream, can't he?

Hmmm, voicechat IS a cool idea, but you'd probably get a lot of 9/10 year olds swearing and shouting through it when we kick their butts :laugh:

That makes sense, but I mean, if they are your friends you know what they sound like, and you pretty much know what they're gonna say if you beat them :p

But yeh, for those with headsets it's a good idea. I don't mind either way as mine is broken. :(

What I dont get is why do the Japanese get an earlier release date than US? It was vice versa before the delay..

Also when they get it first there will be people importing and all kinds of spoilers on the net. We'll probubly know the whole game come febuary 10th..

not true, japan would have gotten it November 26 or 28. a week before america.

I feel for you europeans. I would hate to get a game later than everyone else.

o, and the reason Japan gets it first. is cause sakurai is *gasp* JAPANESE!!!

no brainer...

Oh, I thought that the Japanese got it like dec 31st oops :p
US got the wii first so we could have just as well gotten SSBB first..but its cool as long as I stay off the smash part of the net I should be fine. Its gonna be very tempting though lol

Yup, so just stay away from the smash related site until you get the game and discover everything for yourself if you dont wanna get spoiled. Also not just by the japanese but importers as well. :(

i would be worried about japan giving spoilers, but thankfully i dont speak japanese :) altho, if its coming out february in america, ill only have it for a couple of months before i go on my gap year :( (i live in uk, btw, does anyone know why england has same release date as europeans? we speak english same as america, so it cant be about translating the game) oh well, gap year :)

You realize that Nintendo's just using a marketing technique to raise anticipation for the game, right? They did the same thing with The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. The game is probably going to be done in time for them to release it by Dec. 3rd, but they feel the need to cause chaos when the game's FINALLY relased. I mean, once there's a demo.. The only thing left in the game is to tweak it a little (shouldn't take 5 months) and release it.

It's a huge company, expect cheap shots like this often.

Well, even though its only a couple weeks, Im probably going to be exiling myself from the internet. Ive had the ending to pirates 2 spoiled 5 months before it was out.

Well, at the rate smash dojo is going, perhaps all the characters will be revealed by then (hah).

possible, but doubtful.. they have what 23 or 24 characters, almost Melees. they have 4 more months to release an additional 25, and they release one about every other week... possible... but they have to keep secret characters... secret, not to be redundant.
