Europeans Screwed on SSB Brawl Release Date
No Brawl in sight between now and June.
By Mark Whiting, 12/06/2007
We know, we know.
Nintendo's ongoing info drip over at the Smash Bros. Dojo has probably been the most prolonged and excruciating example of foreplay in the gaming world. For months now, details on Smash Bros. Brawl have been oozing out glacially onto the Internet with the ultimate result of getting everybody whipped up into a proverbial frenzy of anticipation.
With the release date of SSB at least marginally imminent -- February 10 in North America -- everybody's chomping at the bit to play. Sadly, our European friends just had a particularly odious bomb dropped on their heads: Brawl isn't coming until, well, we don't know for sure, but it's not until the second half of 2008 at least. Enjoy?
Cementing the unpleasant news is Nintendo's 2008 European territory release list (posted in entirety at Kotaku), which details the dates for many fine games, but no Brawl.
Videogamer.com contacted Nintendo about this oversight, and received the following reply from Nintendo: "If the game is not listed on the schedule up until the end of Q2 it is currently not due out until after that time."
If the schedule is correct, it means the earliest Europeans could be Smashing one other would be some time after next June. Additionally, one would also expect the PAL delay to extend to Pacific territories like Australia, too.
