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

Can someone fill me in on why the Japan release was delayed for a week, yet the American release was delayed a MONTH? The logic in that seems to escape me.

Very well put sir.
Don't give us a **** release date if you are going to keep changing it, you idiots (speaking to NOA, not Sakurai). I REFUSE to buy any more Nintendo products until Brawl comes out. Screw NOA and its marketing strategy so that "sales won't suffer". After Brawl, I will not be buying any more games for the Wii anyway. That'll really be the only game I play from Nintendo. I do have a 360.

The same reason why Japan equivalent of something is always better than it is for America. Sakurai is biased towards Japan. This has been discussed thoroughly. No matter how great he is at game development, he's still human, and has flaws, and that is he's biased.

To all you who are asking why it was delayed more in North America than in Japan, here is the reason I believe why.
NoJ wasn't getting Brawl produced as fast as it should or some event occured to pevent enough production. Sakurai relized this and delayed brawl in Japan one week to give the game enough time to be mass produced. Instead of delaying America's date by one week, he delayed it a month to ensure if the same probem arised, he wouldn't have to delay it this week and delay again a week or so from now. Sakurai was so close to releasing in Japan that he wasn't going to delay it as much as he did for us unless he had to.

Why do people always say this, or things like this?
I just don't get why so many people keep commenting that they only bought a Wii for Brawl, or that they're thinking of selling their Wii now that Brawl's been delayed again. It doesn't make sense. The Wii is a gaming platform like the X360, PS3, DS, PSP, etc. There are games for it, and more games to come. Is there a reason why people seem to avoid Wii games, but then insist on playing games on other systems? In the most general sense, there may be a reason, but it's definitely not a good one.
Many of us bought Wii's mostly for new/innovative kinds of games and most importantly Nintendo games, but that doesn't mean we are only limited to the core Nintendo games like Mario Galaxy and SSBB. There's plenty of other content there.

Seems like the demands for a playable demo weren't as ridiculous as we thought. . .

Such a minor delay in Japan. Once the Japanese version has gone gold, the game is done and won't be any better in English. More time DOES mean a better game, yes, but it no longer looks like this is the case.
But my question is: "Why?"
Nintendo is notorious for delaying games to keep up the hype, but I personally see this as killing it. While the little tactic does work to an extent, this is like what's happening to the Wii (Of which I'm also questioning why. Maybe they aren't restraining the production? Who knows.) They're not even teasing at all, no demos, slow updates, I'm not understanding this. Could it be? should they really just step up and do it now rather then later? Should they just... delay it into December of '08? I pray not, let us hope for the best (Best being no more delays.)
BTW: Such as happened in the past, I recall waiting for over 2 years for a few games to be released in the US, and all of them landed on the Holidays.
BTW2: Convincing evidence that there is actually a good reason and that it WILL be released on March 9th rather then delayed more would be... Loved.

Well I bought my Wii just for Brawl, though well in advance, but I have a few other games on it. I am getting a 360 in about a week so that'll tide me over til Brawl.

Well said. Why is the big question.
when will nintendo realease this game? it's mostlikely safe to say that come late february, the game will be delayed again.Kabyk-Greenmyst

You are not wrong.....and you won't be when "third" is changed to "fourth" and "fifth" until the universe explodes because someone divided by zero or tried to buy Brawl, either results in the same conclusion.
I just wish they would have given us a better update for today. Don't get me wrong, the Pikmin stage looks awesome and everything, but for the last delay they announced Sonic The Hedgehog at the same time. I didn't really want any more character updates till the game released in February, but now, yeah, I'd like a character to compensate please. Even if it's a veteran.

Are they literally Tryimg to lose sales?
Kabyk-Greenmyst
Smash Lord
No, they were dumb and underestimated sales. Which is why this delay is solely for printing more copies.
Sakurai probably didn't want to stop developing until the very last second, when the FedEx guy was ripping it out of his hands to bring it to the printing place. :embarrass

...Or you could mod your Wii to play JPN games. But you'd void your warranty on your Wii. Best to import both if you don't wanna get Nintendo pissed at you.

**** Nintendo **** Super Smash, They've Change The ****in Release Date Like 2 Times Already And Im ****in Sick Of It, Just Release The ****ing Game
Meh oh well XD I don't really mind anyways. I'm getting Devil May Cry 4 on Feb. 5 so that will easily help me tide over. Also, forget about not spoiling myself, I'm checking the whole roster when it comes out in Japan!

Anyone who believes they are delaying this game to make changes to the game or make it better is a ******.
The game went gold in Japan. It was CONFIRMED. You understand what that means right? The game is NOT under development any more. AT ALL. At this point, any time delays are for marketting or money reasons only. They know this game has the potential to be a system pusher and they don't care how many times they have to lie to people in order to get the most money they can because they know people will buy it regardless. Nintendo obviously does not give a flying **** about its fans.

Would you guys stop making up stupid crap and insulting Nintendo for imaginary reasons? The simple fact is that we don't know the reason. It is not in Nintendo's best interest at all to delay Brawl. They know as well as we do that it just pisses off consumers and slowly kills their hype. In other words, they did it because it was necessary to make the game as good as possible. For all we know the localization team came down with the flu during crunch time or something. Stop freaking out and just wait for the game, a month means nothing if we're still playing it years from now.
When was it confirmed? Can you give me a link? I really hope you're not talking about that image from weeks ago that was already disproven. Even when it's gold in Japan, that doesn't necessarily mean the localization is finished.
Name one way in which Nintendo benefits from delaying Brawl. There is no marketing reason. Pushing back an official release date is an ugly move that doesn't do anything but hurt Nintendo's reputation, as we're seeing now. If there were marketing concerns with the release date they wouldn't have made it to begin with. It's painfully obvious that this delay is out of necessity.

i'm so fed up with nintendo. they have done this so many times.
they need to pick a date, stick with it, work hard, and complete the game by that date.
this is ridiculous.

You know what, when I first read this on the dojo, I was pretty upset to say the least. Now that i've had time to cool down lol, I can wait another month longer, knowing that I've already been waiting since June & July. Don't always think of the negative; think of the positive too. Yeah it's delayed another month but so what. We've all been waiting for years for this game, and another month is nothing compared to that.
