Ryoko edit: Because most people aren't familiar with the term "going gold."

"Going gold" in the world of software development is when you/your team completed the final product in the form of a "master disc". Now called the "gold master", this disc is sent to the factory to be duplicated into consumer copies.

Awesome, so there is not no point in complaining or moaning now. What's done is done and there is no changing it.

When a game "goes gold", that means disks are being produced and stockpiled for the release.

YES! If this is true, it's the best news so far. =p

Doesn't this mean we can be assured that there won't be another delay?
Unless something REALLY weird happens. Like if Magikoopa calls someone "spastic." (Wonder if you know that reference.)

But yeah, there's going to be no other delay. But there are weird delay stories... like Persona 3. Something was wrong with the manual, so they had to recall it a day before the game was going to be released. lol.

Spastic - Mario Party 8 recalled in Europe because this word was in it.

Well it is great to finally know that Brawl has gone Gold, but nothing is for sure... there could be another delay if needed, but I am glad that the possibility of that has just drastically decreased.

NO MORE DELAY RUMORS!!!!!! OH YEEAAHH!!!!!! Also, this only meens there is a 100% chance of no delays for the Japn games; there still may be a delay for the American version, but if there is it certainly won't be delayed over a month (translation issues, maybe). The chances of that are still very slim, though.

w00t. Does it usually take a game a month to be released after it goes gold? Maybe it will be released sooner than the Dojo says?
A month or more. Not only do they need to produce enough copies for everyone, they have to distribute them to retailers, and then the retailers have to divy them up and send them out to individual stores. It takes awhile to pull off.

Good to hear. I can bet this'll be the Dojo's update tonight (so much for new character/anything Zelda).

This update is better than anything we've had on the dojo the last few weeks.
What if this is tonights update? Sakurai reasurring us of now more delays and telling us the disks are being manufactured. I'd be satisfied with that for sure. ^_^

You just took the words out of my mouth. That would be an excellent Christmas present update...

Super Smash Bros. Brawl has gone gold and is now being produced en-masse!

This is a nice little Christmas treat, as it confirms there will be NO MORE DELAYS!! YAY!! :chuckle:

Great. At least we now know the game is complete and that there's no going back.

I want to hear what Sakurai has to say about this. Hopefully the guy is fully satisfied with the game. I know he and his cohorts worked so hard on it for this long and all.
