Pokemon Battle Revolution gets dated. So what does that mean?

[SmashChu]

Well, if you have been keeping up on Nintendo, PBR is the first Wii Wifi game. So, with Brawl online, we can safly say it will come out after June 25th(PBR's date). Also, Nintendo announced all their games for Q2(April-June) so Brawl will be Q3 or Q4.

Well, we have some waiting to do. Will this affect the likelyness that Brawl will be at GDC. yes, probobly, however, we can definatly expect stuff in the 2nd quarter(E3 probobly).

Well we have MORE waiting ahead. But don't fret. We get ever close to the "Big Three", so just hold on, the best way you can after 6 years.

Gah! Too much WAITING!
I really wanted to play over the summer... OH WELL!
Are the "big three" SSBB, MP3:C, and SMG?

 

[Volt Tackle]

I was under the impression that "the Big Three" referred to the third game in the SSB series.

 

[SmashChu]

Yes, Big Tree= Metroid Prime 3, Super Mario Galaxy and Brawl. Never thought of it as being just Brawl, but it makes scence.

 

[Infil]

Please don't expect Brawl anytime this year. If it happens, it will be a Christmas release, and I think that is a pretty big long shot at this point.

Just don't get your hopes up. My guess is Q2 2008.

 

[Chepe]

Ah, thats pretty pessimistic there... He has stressed a 2007 release now, and Im betting that Fall will be his aim. Right before Christmas... can you imagine the potential for selling Wiis that Brawl will provide? It will be chaos for us...

 

[Lord_Deathborne]

Bah... Why you do this, Nintendo? Why?

Oh well... as far as the Big Three are concerned, I don't think they're going to hold ALL of them back for a holiday release, but rather sparse them out a little so as to not have them eating into each other's sales. It is my belief that their releases will be distributed something like this: one will be released sometime during July-August, the second being released in September-October, and finally the last of them being released in the weeks prior to Christmas. While MP3 and SMG are likely to utilize either the Christmas Season or the Summer Break in order to maximize sales, SSBB can be released at any time really, as it's more than likely going to remain a best seller throughout Wii's life cycle, as was the case with the previous two installments for their respective systems. So what say you?

In order to maximize profits it'll probably be around the winter holidays, thanksgiving if we're lucky.

 

[JesterBox]

Smash is addictive... No bodies even played Brawl (aside from testers) and I already crave more. Dont get me wrong I want them to take all the time they need to make the game great but MAN! I will probaly end up malling someone in a department store on the realease date. (I will probaly scream somthing like "FALCON PUNCH" and strike down an elderly person.)

 

[Keige]

If I was standing there, I'd laugh at the elderly person because "Who gets hit by a Falcon Punch? Honestly!"

 

[bowz10190]

hahaha that was good.

ATTENTION EVERYONE, THERE IS NOTHING NEW TO REPORT.

I don't understand why these topics are made. We knew it wasn't going to come out Q2, that's way too early and we have no info. When I said "holiday season 2007," I wasn't kidding.

If you want to talk about GDC, head to the Light House.
