Brawl Release Date Changed! March 9, 2008 (North America)

[Zinfandel]

Melee came five months later in Europe. Dec 2001 for the US, May 2002 for Europe.

Knowing Nintendo, it'll be just the same this time around. I'm having low expectations already.

Who wants to make a 20 dollar bet with me that it gets delayed? I can almost gaurantee it will be. I don't remember Nintendo ever releasing a high profile title on time, and I thought he said he wanted to take his time on this one, seems very fast.

mario kart wii looks a little toned down from double dash, not that thats a bad thing...

 

[mario-man]

Where do you guys get all this info??

Well, since it was suppost to release at Launch, this is quite a delay in itself. Anymore delays would be madness.

That's just gay. I'm so pissed off about this. I do NOT want to wait ANOTHER year for Brawl, as I was expecting a december release for Europe, and Nov/oct for America.

Why does Britain have to be part of the god**** EU? I am not waiting till ****ing MAY next year for Brawl. I do not have good patience, and the very latest I am accepting Brawl for Europe is February. Any longer and i'm buying an import Wii and Brawl.




I am going to laugh so hard if Brawl is released here before America.

Erm, CAP?

Seriously that sucks. Okay, I moan a lot, but I'm gonna almost be a ****ing true adult before I get this game!

Cmon datel. Fanboy hopes rest on a Wii Freeloader.

 

[Caael]

Murphy's law states that whatever can go wrong, will go wrong.

Even though I know it won't be delayed.

Wow...9 pages so quickly...anyway, Dec. 3 is good. It's not GREAT. I mean, whoo it's not next year, but we pretty much already knew that. At least we know an exact date now.

Dewd...I'm so failing my finals, which are the week right after that comes out..

Have you been sleeping under a rock, man? It already WAS delayed. It was supposed to be a launch title...

 

[Perfect Chaos]

This probably has been said before, but I'm thinking that Nintendo choose this date, specifically, so that its North American release is EXACTLY 6 years after Melee's North American release. 12/3/01 to 12/3/07...that can't just be coincidence. If it's like that for EU and AUS as well, then I feel sorry for the people there.

So anyways...4 Months, 22 days (145 days) and counting...

Madness?!

Sparta.... etc...

 

[Florida]

Oh dear, I feel bad for you mods today. You must be putting up with tons of spam as it already is. I just got done watching Reggie (was it?) discuss some of the Nintendo games, including Brawl. That mini-trailer made me happy, Dk's fur looks much detailed, and not just shiny plastic anymore.Fox's FireFox seems to be a lot faster, and he also spins during it.

December 3rd gives me time to save up for the game, and I'm so glad that it turned out to be near Christmas time. Can't wait for more featuring Brawl.

EDIT:

Madness?!

Sparta.... etc...

Sigging this.

THIS IS WAR!

THIS IS...

E3!

Nope i'm saying they might even delay it more. Misunderstood me or I just said it the wrong way..

 

[Hoboman725]

so, is this all we got out of E3?


lame.

 

[mario-man]

Where do you guys get all this info??

Well, come on guys. Where do you guys read all this??

 

[Salaad]

^Better than nothing. Why do people always do that?

It's like being Homeless and a man offers you a burger, but you say no cause you want Steak...

Any info or screens/videos we get is better than nothing.

Go to game trailers for the info...

 

[a-mar]

yes!!

only 145 days left!!

cant wait to walk in on that cold monday morning!!!

 

[mario-man]

Thanks. Finally.

 

[Buci01]

world wide release would be better... but hey! 2008 for Germany is nice, too... more or less...

 

[axi0n]

I wonder when I can pre-order it

 

[_Phloat_]

Are you guys just guessing, or is it really 2008 for england and the like?

 

[hellsoldierx15]

why would they delay it again? i mean it still possible, but i dont think it will happen. they are giving out all this info and they are just going make us sad again by popping up out of nowhere and saying its delayed it?

highly unlikely.

dec 3 is brawl day...and thats final.

 

[Ogre_Deity_Link]

NUUU!!! Still to far away! <mockwhining>I want it NOW!!!!</mockwhining>

Be still my nervous fanboy body...it will come soon...

 

[Phaazoid]

[Mini Mic]

I hate being a PAL gamer.

 

[Got Blood?]

December third! Woo-hoo! Mario & Sonic kickin butt on smash bros...

 

[bluethree]

HELL YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! Someone said they saw DK in the mini trailer,but I didn't,who also did? Also,he said more Brawl stuff!(I'm assuming in E3)


Someone's need to find that song "The Final Countdown".

Off topic but I had to post it anyway.

While I was reading this post, a commercial for the CD Monsters of Rock was on the TV. As I got to the last line, I hear the line coming from the TV. "It's the final countdoooooown."

That was just creepy.

 

[Blackadder]

Does anyone have any good guesses as to when the PAL version will be released? Thats the Australian and new zealand version..

 

[kamakun]

A day before my birthday. Can't wait.

 

[h2ownage]

Great.Us britans wont get it till like march.

Typical

We Australians won't get it any earlier.

 

[Blackadder]

We Australians won't get it any earlier.

It's a real kick up the arse isn't it?
I'm guessing late january for us...but I dunno..

 

[lime_backwards]

Am I the only one worried there was no online connectivity news for Brawl?

 

[thesage]

No. There's been a million threads about it. I would lol if it was tonights update.

Yeah probably late Jan. It's gut-wrenching, absolutely gut-wrenching.

All of us in the PAL regions need to come together and sign a massive petition. This message will be sent to Nintendo of America and Nintendo of Europe, beseeching them to push for a universal release. I mean, honestly, how difficult could it be to do the unnecessary translations and the coding and whatnot? I think it is obscene that we were made to wait months for SSBM, and that we have been made to wait for prominent first-party releases such as Super Paper Mario. There is no good reason for this. Halo 3 will launch in the EU on the day after its release, presumably in a few of the more widely spoken languages. Has it yet occurred to Nintendo that the translation and coding for other regions can be done before the initial release?

Microsoft and Bungie have seen that their flagship title is available to everyone within a few days of the American release; why can't Nintendo do the same? Nintendo is an immense company ( larger than just Microsoft's Game Studios) with many resources and they would definitely have enough people and time to get this done. There is no good reason for delays, for the work involved in making these games available to the world should not be so time-consuming given Nintendo's size. We can ascribe such delays to poor planning and a simple lack of concern for the smaller and therefore less lucrative markets.

I love Nintendo's games, but this aspect of them infuriates me; their inability to make games available to people in all regions. I saw their E3 press conference live, they professed to have a huge interest in expanding their user base; well Nintendo, I submit to you that you have too long neglected your fans in the PAL regions, and we are displeased. We don't want to wait five months longer than the Americans for games such as Brawl; we want to be enjoying them at the same time, perhaps playing such games with them online or at least discussing them excitedly.

We don't want to wait until next year. Nintendo has not yet delivered to the PAL regions a truly great game for the Wii thus far this year. We will have no memories of a truly excellent game being released this year; the Americans will. Our only desire has been to have a small gap between NTSC and PAL releases but this has not been satisfied. Microsoft Game Studios will manage it this year with their flagship title Halo 3, even though Microsoft Game Studios is in itself much smaller than Nintendo. Why should we wait for such important games as Super Smash Bros Brawl. Why should we wait?



(We could write an eloquent letter to Nintendo with a few kilometres of signatures but it would alter nothing. You know, bugger this plan, I'll just get me a freeloader disc or something of the sort)



Addendum: If I hear one more American whinge about the release date I'll go spare. You know we'll have to wait five months longer again; you have your holiday release, for God's sake.
