March? Sorry, but the PAL Q1 list has already been revealed. It was a complete list, and Brawl wasn't on it. We're hoping for Q2, otherwise it'll be Q3.

I do believe Nintendo's official word on that list was that it wasn't complete, i.e. it did not account for all games that actually will be released in that period. So there is no reason to fret. If it is released in June then we won't have to wait longer for it than we did for Melee, which is still unfair but not, well, evil. Q1 is still a possibility, although this is Nintendstobesluggisho we are talking about here.

Urgh the Minish Cap was a horrid game. Mario Strikers is a must-own game for the Wii though.

Argh. I wouldn't trust HMV though, they haven't even got official boxart (It will be most likely to be the USA's boxart). If it's from Nintendo however, it's probably official.

And you got about every single game earlier except a given few, like Strikers, because football isn't as popular in America (or something - that was the reason Nintendo gave).

That date isn't official, I believe that the 28th of March is supposed to be the last date before 1st game quarter ends.

As I looked down where the Mario Kart icon stood. It also mentioned "21-3-2008" meaning that they're just speculating, as is Game.co.uk who put this game up for Q1 release and probably most of the european shops.

Ofcourse, one can only hope it would be released sooner, but I'm afraid we will have to wait.

Y'know, im getting sick of Nintendo messing us around. All we have had first in recent memory is Strikers and THAT was because it was made by a UK studio (Next Level Games)!!!!

There are lots of huge Nintendo fans, like myself, in Europe... so why do they screw us around so much? NOE needs to be sorted out, because they make a lot of odd decisions and are VERY disorginised.

Fortunately, Nintendo UK trys to get things going a lot more smoothly, but NOE controls them overall. IMO, NOUK should separate from NOE, so that we can the American version of games in PAL format straight off (we speak the same flippin' langauge!) and the rest of Europe can have their own version OR split like the UK. It would be much quicker, and give each country their own control.

Australians should also be abl to get the USA/UK version as well, as they also speak English, so WHY cant THEY get it at the same time?????

GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!! URGE TO BURN NOE... RISING!!!!!!!!

I think people like us should run these places. Seriously. Its just... ridiculous...

There were a couple of Q2 titles (for example Mario Kart) on the list. The Q2 listings, those were the ones that weren't complete. The list for Q1 was complete. Nintendo gave their official word on that after many people started complaining thinking Brawl wouldn't be released until Q3.

Also, if we'd get a PAL release date in March, they'd have announced it by now, don't you think?

It's stupid that Europe doesn't get it on the time Japan and America does. It isn't even translated in my language so it makes no difference for me. I'll just use english (I'm Dutch) ((Yeahhh HOLLAND:D)

Same here. I'm in Norway, and I've gotta wait because I have to get the game in French, Spanish, German etc. when the only language I understand among them is English! Oh, and they also use up some time translating the Instruction Booklet to Danish, Swedish, Finnish and such. But why do we have to suffer?

An idea:

When the game comes out in the US, get someone to make a speed-unlocking guide. Sorta like a speedrun for unlockables, so we can Brawl as soon as possible.

That way some people can catch up with everything fairly quickly, rather than spend a month unlocking Ephraim, for example.
