i dont know how many of you guys have facebook but im in this group called global smash society and i got a message from the creator of the group stating the following:

Here's an excerpt from an email I received from Wal-Mart

Thank you for your recent purchase from Walmart.com. The
release date of your item(s) has changed.

The information listed below provides the new release date
and the date you can expect to receive your order.

===========================================================
ORDER SUMMARY
------------------------------------------------------
Order Date: 08 SEP 2007 08:23 AM
Order Number: *******************

Description
------------------------------------------------------
Super Smash Bros. Brawl Wii
Original release date : 10 FEB 2008
New release date : 28 MAR 2008
Should arrive by : 09 APR 2008
Selected Shipping Method : Standard Shipping


============================================================

Please note that Wal-Mart does not control this release date, which is set by the
manufacturer. This product will not be available for sale anywhere until the new
release date. We are sorry for any convenience this delay may cause.

If you wish to cancel this order, please call us soon at
1-800-966-6546 and a Customer Service associate will assist you.

If you do not cancel this order before we ship it, we will
assume that you consent to the delay in your order.

With that, this game better be all kinds of awesome.

-------------------------------------------

now i dont know how legit this is, considering the new release date says mar. 28 and says it should arrive by apr. 9 but i just wanted to throw this out there in case no one has seen this


ok so it says that you ordered it september 7th, a month and three days before the sonic update and the TBD release date...so if this is true, then it would have given you the same email saying that the release date got switched back to feb 10th, right? whats the deal?

Another delay? ...Mega Man confirmed tomorrow...
Exactly what I was thinking.

Wow, this sucks. But, you know what? If this means they can add some more characters... I'm fine with it. I'll be playing this game for 5 years... what's a month and a half. But it looks pretty true. And it sucks.

No, it doesn't suck. It doesn't suck because it isn't true.

"Yea uh, Uncle Bob who works at BestBuy told me Brawl won't be released until June 20. I don't know how he knew this, but I accepted Uncle Bob as a credible source".

Not Megaman, we aren't sure of which 3rd Party, might be confirmed. Just know that we might get one soon and that Sakurai will be giving us the heads-up. I expect a lot out of him, if he delays it yet again. Maybe some more work with the online modes? Characters? Who knows? I feel like I have everything I need, yet I want much more.

I agree with Panda, if there is another delay the hype meter for me drops to absolute 0. Nya said so, we all thought he was crazy but he could've been right...

Also, when you think about the news on the Euro date, it all makes sense. US gets it at the end of March, Europe gets it at the end of June. Only a 3 month difference compared to a 5 month difference before...

Sakurai, just drop the ball and ruin your credibility already.

No kidding. After already playing the Sonic card to soften the blow of the first delay, they're going to need at bare minimum the Blue Bomber to compensate for a second. Lets just hope its not true regardless...

I work at a gamestop, and no delay has been announced. The guy was lying or was an idiot.

Just to put things in perspective I did a little investigation about what other sites were saying and about the Walmart Online Video Game store consitancy, this is what I found.
Best Buy-Still the 10th
Gamestop-Still the 10th
Toys R Us-Still the 10th
Gamefly-Apparently thinks it is coming out Febuary 12th

As for Walmart, the entire site is very inconsitent. Several of their coming soon on all three platforms turn out to be in stock when you click on them. Two other interesting inconsistancies.
Nights for the Wii release date on the site is still listed as 18th, after the date has passed.
Unreal Tournament 3 for the Xbox 360 is listed to be released on Feburary 22, 2008. Not a single other source listed or confirmed this date when I went looking.

I may also remind yu we have had sites posts false dates before, remember when the Prima Strategy guide for Brawl was listed as being released in November?

Now Walmart may have obtained super secret info about another delay, but for the moment it just seems like their video game website either had a glitch, or they are idiots.

Except we just got a new Duke Nuken Forever trailer today :laugh: I never thought I'd be saying that!

Also, this is a bunch of bull****. The game is not delayed people.

I wouldn't push it that far. Because here we at least have a good deal of content already confirmed and shown for the game, whereas Duke Nukem Forever had almost nothing eight years ago, and even with the new teaser trailer, still has almost nothing today.

NOA's press site still shows Feb 10th, I got a little scared, but now I'm pretty much sure that Walmart are morons.

I only go look at the DOJO because that's the only place where you get the truth. Other places like Wal-mart or whatever just sucks at doing that.

Lol. But seriously. Do you honestly think that because Wal-mart or some gamestop say it's been pushed back that it is? Nothing can be truly known until we can see something on the good old honest Dojo. Besides, if they were changing the date then we'd see a TBD where it says Feb. 10th like on the day Sonic was announced. (Btw, to all of you illiterate Smashers, Sonic didn't cause the delay! He was there to cushion the blow.)

If it were delayed again then I'll do what's in my sig... V

Gamestop employees are the least credible people ever.

You'd be better off throwing you sh*t at a calandar and seeing what day it lands on than asking them. Seriously though, if the date was changed, it'd be plastered all over the internet by now.

They probably got games mixed up... "Super Take Off your Bra comes out on March 4, 08"

Hopefully it isn't true though, cause that would kinda stink. (obviously)

Stuck between a parallel dimension of code and you
lol, my gamestop said February 8,08
2 days before B*****s!! yea, but it´s probably the day they get it and start selling on the 10.
exactly. that's what one gamestop employee told me:

My Gamestop Manager said:
Yes sir, we may get *insert game title here* anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks early, but legally we cannot sell it and we cannot tell anybody that we have it until the official release date comes around.

So yeah. He MIGHT be telling the truth, he might not. but if the official release date is the 10th of February, and they get it the 8th of February, they still cannot legally sell it.

Although March? Either nintendo pulled a fast one on us, *which is doubtful as i'm sure there would have been an update for it* or this guy is just BSing you 'cause he gets asked that all the time.
