That's because Sakura and his team bit off more than they could chew. Don't be surprised if this game gets pushed back to Spring of 08 and or eventually canceled .

Well just get a different game don't get brawl... it really hurts me overall because of my timing issue and my schedule but I bet it is good for other people. Like people said, maybe he is makign the game better. I personally was interested in the Olympics game and think it is underrated, going to try it.

I seriously doubt that one. This game's not gonna be cancelled. Too much time and money has went into it. ANd I think 2 extra months is more then enough time for it. Imagine how much you've learned about the game in 2 months. It's not gonna be pushed back further.

They had a year and still can't get it out the door. Two extra months won't guarantee it comes out. They took up a task they weren't ready to handle.

He is exaggerating... real winners here is Super Mario Galaxy, Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games, and Halo 3.

For this year. But I can practically guarentee that the 2008 game of the year is gonna be SSBB, just for the fact that you can actually play as Mario or Sonic and fight Mario or Sonic.

I'm not exaggerating, if they can't finish this game in a year then 2 months extra isn't a guarantee.
Yeah it is, when Sakurai said that he could put it out, and people would love it, and he'd sell millions of copies. But he felt it was best to keep working on it.

No one will buy wiis for christmas because nintendo doesn't hype there games. You see commercials or watch G4 or see what appears on Yahoo, CNN, MSNBC always stuff about Halo or PS3 games or Xbox games.

If they would hype Galaxy and Olympics for holiday on these sources people would buy wiis. I have yet to see brawl hyped anywhere outside of just video game sites. Most people I talk to don't know it exists but they know about Halo and other PS3 games.

This will really hurt nintendo because people are getting xbox 360s for christmas to get Halo 3.

You realize how long it takes to develop games right?
FYI, Halo 3 was in development before Halo 2 was in stores.

It takes a while, and 2 months might be a delay added because of a bug, or deciding to add on an extra feature, or a manufacturing problem, who knows.

Remember how things like Mario Party got recalled because of the word "spastic" in Europe?

There are a lot more things other than "They ran out of time" to factor in to the equation here.

yahoo? CNN? MSNBC? Are you ********? It's impossible to top Halo 3. And because millions are gonna get it, it's gonna be covered by the news. It's the only game to be covered, and the only game to ever be covered.

Depends on number of staff and resources you put into games. Some games only take 6 months because they have so many people working on it and they have it well organized. Some can take 3 years. Same is true with movies. Nintendo needs to ride Galaxy and Olympics for Christmas and then push Brawl hard in January or February. Try to get it on more media networks like Halo 3 and PS3 is.

The Subspace Emissary has impressed me more then any character being added although I really wanted Sonic. I didn't start this thread to flame Sakurai or anything, just wanted to point out that there is other Wii games out there like Galaxy and Olympics that are coming out this Christmas. Question is why doesn't Mario make a 3d remake of the Original... that would be awesome.
