I can see it now. I'll strap on the old snow shoes, make the three-day trek from my igloo to the nearest trade outpost and exchange a copy of Brawl for 3 trout and an acorn. Then me and my pet pengiun Rufus can enjoy a nice weekend of Brawling as we munch on decious seal blubber. Maybe this year's three months of complete darkness won't be half bad!

Times have changed!
Delays are getting worse!
They delay the game and then
We all just fart and curse!

Should we blame Sakurai?
Or blame NOA?
Or should we blame the lack of discs for the game?

NO!

Blame Canada! Blame Canada!
With all their hockey hubabaloo
Brawl is way over due!
Blame Canada, Blame Canada!
They're not even a real country anyway!

I know the American's get Spring Break shortly after, but we get it the day the game comes out, so no missing school/work at the release...which is when we will want to play the game the longest. We will have the time. This wasn't meant to be a thread for American's to flame Canadian's - it was for Canadian's to realize a good thing about the date of the Delay.

This post is so full of awesomeness, I just had to bring it onto a new page. You win a beavertail.

Even though I don't get March break anymore (no more school :(), the delay has certainly turned out in my favour. I had huge deadlines around mid-February, and I just know I wouldn't have finished them (well) because for all that I would try otherwise, Brawl would have taken up allll my time.

Ha, that's actually the same as when Spring Break starts at my university, so I'm pretty pumped about the release date change. Now I'm able to spend half a week playing Brawl without sleeping and not have to worry about falling behind in my classes.

Bravo, Sakurai, bravo.

Hmm, maybe I should change the name of this thread to Lucky Canadians and Universitians.:laugh:;)

My school goes on Spring Break a week after Brawl comes out on the 9th. So... I'm pretty set too ^^

This logic fails.

You could have eaily paid a week's equivelant (spell?) of Brawl before March 9th, if they hadn't delayed it. Saying "I'm glad it was delayed, because I have that week off!" Is just stupid.

What logic? He's just saying a benefit for the delay, he's not saying that Sakurai delayed brawl so we could have a week off..

Exactly.

And, @darkhamsterlord: I'm not saying I'd rather have the release date March 9th, I'm just saying...now that it is THERE IS A BENEFIT that comes with it. I would still rather have it released Feb. 10th.

I don't know if anyone has noticed, but the delay for people like me that live in Canada, is a good thing.

Why? Because March 9th is the Sunday before the Canadian March Break, so we will get to experience the awesomeness of Brawl for a whole week straight!:laugh:
But you see...I will already have MY spring break during that week also ^_^

So I win :D

Interestingly enough, our Spring Break at University of Central Florida (United States) starts on March 10, and is also a week long. Which means that we are just as lucky. But I hear Canadians are smarter and live longer on average.

So "lucky" is quite an arbitrary term to be tossing around.
You win more cookies.

And, for Ridley's sake, we're not saying the delay was GOOD, we're saying it benefited us. If he was going to have a delay anyways I'm happy it was on the 9th of March. Bloody muffins, we have something finally in our hands and some people STILL want to take it away out of jealousy.

I live in Canada though :( On the west coast, though, we're closest to Japan! That means I get Brawl before all of you!

Seriously, Kentalicious' town and mine, we live like, right at the edge of the Pacific.

You are the reason people hate Canadians. That and legal clinical marijuana.
Actually, in some states in the USA, marijuana is legal for recreational use in small amounts, the states of Alaska, Oregon, California, Nevada, Colorado, Nebraska, Minnesota, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, New York, and Maine, have decriminilized Marijuana.

The states of Washington, Montana, Maryland, Vermont, and Rhode Island have legalized the drug for medical purposes only.

Thanks Wikipedia!

Hmm, I guess that is pretty awesome. I don't have march break anymore but I guess thats one way to look at it. Always look at the bright side I guess :)
