Haha hilarious! And people thought Japan was getting screwed.

This happened with RE4 too and it was a huge hit. No worries.

9:16 a.m.: Smash Bros. will have full Wi-Fi multiplayer capabilities. Lots of new levels and many new characters, including Sonic the Hedgehog. A "unique way of sharing between users, even online," according to Iwata -- this relates to some user-created content for the WI-Fi service in relation to Smash Bros., sounds like.

9:14 a.m.: NOA's George Harrison takes the podium. He's going to give us an update, he says. We get to play for the "first time" Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Link's Crossbow Training, Battalion Wars 2, Mario Party DS, Advance Wars 2 and Master of Illusion. We'll also get an updated look at Galaxy.

At 9:45, Smash Bros. demonstration. At 10:00 a.m., open gameplay. At 12:30, lunch. And then more open gameplay for the remainder of the day, methinks. Everything except Smash Bros. Brawl will go live on Monday, media included, I presume.

9:02 a.m.: Evidently we're only able to film a combined five minutes of gameplay footage for each game. However, we will also be able to film gameplay demonstrations in full. Of course, you should note that we can only post Brawl stuff today. The rest will have to wait until next week. I apologize in advance, but don't shoot the messenger

Apparently, everything except for Super Smash Bros. Brawl coverage will be under embargo until Monday. But we will, according to what I've heard, be able to film a Brawl presentation and write in detail about the fighter today, which sounds fantastic.

Our questions will soon be answered?

This is, in my mind, a good thing. Now we get it on a Sunday. So there will actually be a midnight launch. Oh, will that be fun. All night, playing Brawl!!!111

Anyone keeping up with the blog? They're demonstrating Brawl to the media.

You have to hit the smash ball before you can use it? Did I read that right?

You're forgetting the #1 rule of video games: any time Nintendo or Blizzard delays a highly anticipated game, the end result is always spectacular.

Honestly, this is the best thing to happen to Brawl. Melee was rushed, and it's STILL an amazing game. Brawl, however, is shaping up to be the greatest video game ever.

The delay kind of sucks.

But, the good news is that IGN is getting hands-on time all weekend and we're going to get flooded with juicy info. Also, with having to wait until February 10th, that's more than two more full months of daily updates. Imagine how many characters we'll get to see. :)

i'm more concerned about the Aussie Date now. I'm hoping Mid March.

but knowing Australia has the Easter Break in April that be a good time downunder. Holiday season and all.

I'm going to accept on the grounds that they drop a PAL release date soon.

I would love it if it turned out we got it after Japan.

And you guys got it last.

YAY! I thought the release date was going to be Feb. 4 but I was 6 days early. XD

I am a bit disappointed that we have to wait longer but I'm glad that Brawl isnt being rushed and is going to be even more awesome! ^_^ The delay actually gave mii more hype :D

December is going to go by really quick for mii, then I'll just have to wait for January to pass by, but Super Mario Galaxy, Corruption and Melee will help time go by. Then on Feb. 10...BRAWL! YAY!! :DDD

oh yea, and we'll still be getting updates so..more YAY! Man, I hope Falco is revelaed before Feb. 10 XD

Ugh..I knew this was coming. Although this extra wait will suck, we have to stop and think just how amazing this game will be. Sakurai really wants this game to be the best of the decade. He could have released it sooner and rush it out, but he's taking his time and is ensuring it still gets the legendary status that it deserves.

Well, it's like Shigeru Miyamoto always says "A delayed game is eventually good; a bad game is bad forever."

Besides, I have it reserved, so I'm good.

It's kind of a good thing, too, because I originally intended to get it as a Christmas present.

February 10th... this game was delayed by a little over two months. Two long, tortuous months...

Of course, you gotta take the bad with the good. This is just what happened to Twilight Princess, and that game ended up being incredible. Nintendo doesn't delay without good reason. Sakurai is obviously doing all he can to not rush this game, like Melee was.

Here's hoping that they make the most of their time and polish this game to utter godliness.

For someone who decided to 'take his time' from the beginning of development, WHY ANNOUNCE A GOD**** RELEASE DATE IF YOU'RE NOT ABSOLUTELY SURE.

I really did die inside.
To give people something to look forward to, and then crush them. Leaving them to forever cling to his every word, and gain total influence over them. He controls their world. Their happiness is brought on by character additions. Their sadness comes with the announcement of great delays. All who are caught in his web of deceit shall be forced to join his army and help him to take over the world.

There is a new stage in the selection screen. I'm talking about the first stage of the second row. Looks like Brinstar Zero.
