Why did europe get brawl so late?

[pumper]

Did nintendo change anything with their game?

My 2nd question is, are all 3 versions of the game( Japan, USA, Euro) the same, minus language difference?

 

[TurtleSim]

Nintendo always does dumb **** like that.

And there is no difference between the games.

 

[GreatClayMonkey]

It took so long because nintendo had to change it into many diffrent languages and they had to change something else having to do with the signals TV have in eruope. The second one is not necissary but they do it for better performance. Despite this it did take longer than it should have.

It's not like it takes months to translate text and dub over a few lines.

Funny, somehow, Mario Kart Wii was released for the PAL regions first, despite requiring this apparently time-consuming change.

Oh I know it was bull I was just giving the two reasons Nintendo gave

 

[JawaJedi]

Simple Question sticky? Or search bar?

 

[hippochinfat!!]

Because they aren't people. DUH.

They just drink tea while watching Cornation Street all day.

 

[avm_nl]

its because french people and lots of other european countrys dont speak english, so the uk and other european countrys who DO speak english(yay, holland:D) will just have to wait because of them

 

[Negi-Kun]

Because is has to be translated into British.

Dude, translating a game into 5 different languages takes a lot of work. Look at all the trophies descriptions and sticker info, among other things...

This question is addressed in this months official nintendo magazine.
Basicaly, japan get the games first cuz they are made there (duh) next it is a streight translation into english for amaica, fairly easy. Europe is the problem, they need to translate into french, german, spanish at a minimum, some games have polish, russian all sorts of weird european languages. but it's not just the translation of words, they have to record some voices all over again and check that the timings are right so that when you press a button the correct sound at the correct time is there.
The moral of this story, go live in americal, australia or japan.

Doubt that though.

Australia got it worse than Europe

 

[notftomearth7]

This isn't the first time Nintendo has made Europe wait. In fact, it happens with just about every game released by Nintendo

 

[WouW]

Australia got it worse than Europe

At least they got SSBB a freaking DAY earlier.

 

[OmegaXXII]

honestly, I don't care as long as America gets it first

 

[Union of Darkness]

Nintendo haet Europe

Do australia really get games that late? I though they would get them at the same time as the USA?

 

[turbinator]

Nope we get it at the same time as Europe most of the time. They also cost like 90 us dollars which is a complete ripoff

 

[Grunt]

Because is has to be translated into British.

this^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Yeah, if you're using only, what, 2-3 translaters per language, in which case it's just laziness and cheapness.

It does when people actually put effort into it. They changed the audio of the announced for German, French and I presume Spanish, though I haven't seen any spanish brawl footage. It's silly. They could have very well prepared the audio and everything else at the same time with Nintendo of Japan. The whole language thing seems dumb to me because the US cover of brawl has spanish and french on the back (Y'know, for South America and parts of Canada), so you'd think they would have done it then.

 

[Deleted member]

Translate text?

BULL.

The Dark Suit's UK trophy still says Torvus Bog, THREE months after people saw it was wrong on the US version!

 

[Talazala]

I feel sorry for all the people in Europe. Gets brawl late, and without a reason. Maybe it is part of a plan to compete with other systems (Xbox36O, ps3)?
