The fact that the Japanese date has been released, January 24th, almost 2 months later than Dec 3rd is a bit of a negative (could be later!) or a positive (can’t be that much later!)</p>

Hmm, was it worth it? Sonic for the removal of a release date... Nope, but it was awesome that Sakurai used "Live and Learn" instead of the crap that was in secret rings!

I have a feeling we won't be playing this game until 2008. Read what Sakurai posted on the Dojo update today under the Fall Conference 2007 movie:

"There’s still a little more development to be done... I’m hoping to complete it without incident."

This doesn't sound like only a few weeks...

To bad that the game will be extended, It's only game right now I'm looking forward to.

But we all have to understand this situation and hope the best.

If the date 'was' changed, then why is the Notice of Dec. 3rd still there?
Because it was posted months ago. It's old news. They won't just erase old news that was posted previously. I'm sure we'll get a NA release date confirmation in a few days.

I still don't get why it's back to TBA. The game is pretty much done. Nintendo and the person who created Snake stated that. December is the best time of year to do it. Christmas = huge sales

why was it changed...? =/

Kojima said that it's practically finished... he jokingly said it could be released then.

But, anyway, they probably are fixing a few bugs, making the game look beautiful, or adding more things to subspace. Guess we just gotta be patient... like we've been... right? lol.

I'd laugh a very large and hearty laugh if the game would be finished by December 3rd, but they delayed it a month or two to fix "this weird bug that makes characters slide when they air dodge into the ground".

Perhaps they moved the release date back so that Mario and Sonic at the Olympics would still be the first game with the two together. It's possible. :)

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games for the US comes out November 6th, 2007.
Either way Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games would have came out first. :(

Quote from Sakurai (on the Fall 2007 Nintendo Confernece Brawl Trailer)

"There was an announcement at this conference that Sonic the Hedgehog has joined the fray. I’d like to provide you with the short movie that was shown there.

There’s still a little more development to be done... I’m hoping to complete it without incident."

^ Read that last part again. He's worried about "incident". Online, large campaign, huge roster, trophies, items, stages, ATs, stickers, etc. Lots of stuff. Lots of time to make. Too little time left.

The people making Brawl, all of them knew that the game was going to get delayed! Now why didn't those jerks just come out and say it like 3 months ago!?

January 24th isn't "almost 2 months later than Dec 3rd" its actually only 22 days later, which is about 3 weeks. Sorry if this has already been pointed out.

It makes ya boy wonder.....

For what specific reason did they have to delay Brawl. I thought during Kojima and Sakurai's match that da game was quote unquote "nearly complete."

It must be something big......like a super pimpin 3rd party character.
