I noticed a lot of people kept posting new topics about the release date being changed to March 8th/9th, despite the fact that the official Brawl site says otherwise.

So I just sent Walmart a quick little email to correct them on the issue. Shortly after, they replied and said they would fix it and were apparently thankful for the correction.

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=6527131 The date has been changed to what it SHOULD be, so no more confusion and constant "omg delay!!" topics, puuuhhleeease?

Thanks, the only store in the nearest town that sells videos games is Wal-Mart. Pathetic, I know, no real video game store... Though there is a EB Games about an hour and a half further away, but I couldn't go there on Feb. 10...

Nice. Now someone correct every other store that's wrong.
haha I thought it was only Walmart.

And yeah, I was just getting sick of seeing all the delay topics that have supposedly been "confirmed" by some source that they refuse to post.

I'm actually thinking of going to my local EB Games to see if I can't change their minds about the dates or find out if it REALLY IS coming out on some day in March.

It's not. It's coming out on Feb. 10th unless the Dojo or Nintendo says otherwise.

Ah yes, and hopefully this means that the "prophet" Nya is wrong about there being 35 characters too. I want MORE. And I want some major WTFs!!

And we should care what Wal-Mart says why........?
Mostly because it casues people to jump to conclusions. And as someone that works at a Wal-mart where alot of thigns are said wrong, it never hurts to have someone tells us somethings not displayed properly

Nobody said you should care what Wal-Mart says, but apparently some people care enough to be worried about a delay, caused by something incorrectly listed on the Wal-Mart site. It needed to be corrected, and it was. End of story.

and haha either Youko is very thankful or very sarcastic. I'm not good at telling the difference online but either way, you're welcome. =] Hopefully this will help reduce the delay topics...

thank you ! those threads are getting rather annoying! And I went on Best buy's website and it says February 10th too. I am telling you this because there was a thread a couple days ago that said they got a letter that told them that the game was coming out september thirtieth.
EDIT:Canadian Best Buy does say September 30th

September? Wow. God I would hope not. I'm glad it's still Feb.

I honestly don't know why people would trust any other source other than Nintendo. I mean seriously, do people really think an outside source would know of a delay before the official company knows?

I think if you're going to pre-order the game, you should do it WITH TOYS R US. I used to work there when I was in highschool and they have the best deals. Their deals usually start on Sunday. Feb10 is Sunday...get it at TRU!

They usually give free stuff when you buy the game in its first week.

Super Mario Galaxy = Buy the game, get a $20 Toys R Us gift card free at the register, + a commemorative coin.

Pokemon Diamond/Pearl = Get a free Poke Stylus (either Daiga or Palkia) + a Pokemon themed DS Kit (a DS carrying case with a fat "pen" sized stylus with rubber grip) ($20 retail price) free.



I don't know what they're giving out with Brawl, but i'm pretty sure they're gonna have some kind of Toys R Us exclusive deal with Brawl. I pre-ordered mine with them.

Also...since I used to work there in the electronics department (RZone) for 3 years, I'm able to get the game a few days early when our store gets it from the trucks. PERKS FTW!
