It looks like Brawl has gone gold

[Sp1yd3r]

yes no more delays now we just got to wait it out

 

[Syril]

In Japanese, "NOW PRINTING" on a picture usually indicates that the picture is a placeholder and that the finalized picture is not ready yet. That looks like a placeholder for Brawl's box art.

The phrase you should be looking for is "MASTER UP", which is the Japanese equivalent of "gone gold".

 

[The Noob Legend]

YES!

No more changes, not all characters, items and stuff have been revealed.

So to follow up, we just need to gobble up the information we have.

Thanks Sakurai!

 

[♡ⓛⓞⓥⓔ♡]

Thanks for teaching an new phrase for me.

Does this mean that I could dl the japanese ISO and play the game on my modded (wiikey) wii?

 

[brawlmaniac]

This news makes up for last nights update, I dislike F-flab lol.

Rofl. Yeah definitely the music is pretty good.

 

[Mewruler]

Yea, when pokemon diamond came out, it felt some incomplete because seribii didn't tell us everything in the game.

Possibly, maybe.

 

[TheJalapeno]

[Demontree]

OMGOMGOMG. NOw we have to wait for a japanese person to get a disk (somehow and leak it! OMGOMGOMG.

 

[saif442050]

what is the source of the picture...can we really trust it?

 

[Rominati]

Isnt that the pic that was showed during EforAll. Im not doubting that the game has gone "Gold" seems right on time.

 

[sonicspeed 96]

If it has gone gold I just hope that's not the cover for the game.

 

[Drclaw411]

If it has gone gold I just hope that's not the cover for the game.

That was retarted. we already know what the cover is.

 

[Nowaytoeatatater]

Need...delicious...leakage...

 

[IllidR]

Awesome news! I would have died if there was another delay!

 

[Weed]

Good, now the leaks can commence..
I knew there wouldn't be another delay.

 

[LuiStrokes]

And where is that

sorry i'm too lazy to read the whole thread

 

[Pikamander2]

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

I think that was because some people consider that word to be bad.

 

[Askeflink]

Going gold?.. Get us a launch-date.. -__-

 

[Okysho]

awesome... just awesome... BRAWL RULES!!!

 

[NotaModerator]

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

ya cuz in Europe "spastic" is an insult referring to a disabled person.

Magikoopa u A-hole

 

[Genesai]

Gone gold!? Oh man...I hope they did a good job...

 

[SJAK47]

With the delay, it should better than just a "good job". It better be awesome.

Wow people are really ignoring posts like these up the ***. And then theres the credibility issues...

If it is true though, it still doesnt mean that Sakurai will tell us about it. But the leaks will be coming...

 

[The Director]

Gone gold!? Oh man...I hope they did a good job...

I dunno...from all the screenshots and videos we've seen it's not looking too good so far...

 

[Lemon Drop]

=)

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.

Be nice if the source was more credible.

www.rakuten.co.jp isn't exactly what I call official. (and if it is, how come I never heard of it before any other games release?)

 

[Rash]

Okay, so maybe this is just a case of Rakuten not having the official Japanese box art yet? So, does that pretty much render this thread completely useless?

Again, Nintendo hasn't confirmed anything, so people shouldn't be getting excited yet.

 

[typh]

um so does this mean it has a gold cd i dont think that were work cause i thot cds had to be silver on the bottom

 

[friskykillface]

wow its gone gold, **** time flies by fast, the games gonna own my soul.

 

[yoshi_fan]

Get Paletos A Release Date ****!

 

[GreatClayMonkey]

wow its gone gold, **** time flies by fast, the games gonna own my soul.

Gold works just fine. They make the master disc gold since gold doesn't oxidize like other metals.

 

[Drclaw411]

why do people think this is too early? halo 3 = a month of gold before launch. guess what? ja.p launch = a month away. USA launch = just over a month away.

this was the main reason i wondered if brawl would sell out: Nintendo not getting it gold early enough to make enough copies. looks like they actually did.

 

[Xenesis]

Yeah, I dunno about everyone else but I'd be rather worried if they hadn't gone gold now considering that the release is less than a month away in Japan.

 

[nuro]

The game is GOLD?!

I don't know if a golden game would work inside my Wii. They should of just kept it as a DVD. But if the design is the only gold part that is great!

 

[Jungle-Man]

Only the masterdisc is gold.

 

[Problem2]

The company makes only ONE golden disk. They keep the disk and a machine copies the data from the golden disk to produce copies that are to be sold world wide.

 

[Magically Enhanced Hobo]

They should paint the pre-orders Gold, like the old OoT special editions, that'd be sweet.

Just a week or two tops before we get a leak, btw..

 

[bballstar23]

It was on some website about Smash... I saw it before too, but i didn't think anything about it.

I'd like to know, too. I forgot where I saw it.

Yeah, I was about to say that I saw this awhile back and didn't think much of it.

 

[Sunshine]

The pic is from rakuten, which is one of the largest online marketplaces in Japan. Probably the equivalent to Amazon over here.
