That's their master plan! Stop doing what they intend you to do! You're a fool!
EDIT: But please DO buy No More Heroes we need more amazing 3rd party Wii titles! Thnx.

I think we have a right to be upset... this is really sloppy on their part. Two months from release and they push it back two months... then a month from release and they push it back another month...
I can't think of a proper justification for any issue that might have come up that they couldn't have planned for during the first delay. Shortage? Online infrastructure problems? Both bullshit... just how long has Nintendo been participating in this industry? And how could they NOT know the magnitude of this particular title?
Also, Nintendo is freaking rolling in TONS of money right now. It'd be nice if they'd use it to ensure fuck-ups like this don't happen.
Blah...
Anyway, yes we're all posting out of anger, and yes, it's just a video game... but this is also a video game forum and this is the only proper place to vent out our feelings anyway

I apologize too, for snapping at you at least.Feep said:

You are nuts. Plain and simple. It makes no more sense to release in the beginning of March than February. Both are really dead spots in the lineup. Smash is going to be immune to that sort of thing.
Having a date though means that it probably isn't bug fixing. Not being NOE means its probably not a disk issue either. It might be for stabalizing the online portion, or rolling out an ad campaign. That's what I'm thinking, but what the hell do I know?

As a business this is a pretty easy call. Unfortunately consumers can't do a thing about it because we will all buy the game anyway. If you are selling out of Wii's, you don't want what could be the biggest game of the lifecycle to come out when you have no further stock to sell.kamikaze said:look on the bright side...you don't have to change your forum name.
so what's your theory as to why nintendo is delaying the game if you're sure the game is absolutely done?
it's definitely weird that japan only has to wait 1 more week while the u.s. waits another month, though. anyone have info on nintendo's manufacturing process?
Now, I'm not arguing they'll have a lot more Wii's to sell in March. But I guess my original point was that what you WANT to do is put brawl in a place that sparks the rest of the year. A little later than Feb is definitely warranted. And they are likely using predictive forecasting: demand has slowed in japan, they are assuming it will too in America, so inject the game right at the point of slowing demand, which is clearly not now.

I would rather there be a three month delay to add more characters and content than a month delay because of business bullshit. That's what makes me most upset. I bet after all is said and done there wont even be as many characters as were all hoping for.
Actually, it's because I already believed the delay would happen, so I was emotionally prepared. >_>BlueSummers said:
And it also sort of helps that, like I said before, there is a trip I'm taking at the end of February that'll go through a week of March and that will probably not lend itself to me playing Smash; getting torn away from that would have sucked pretty hard. (Though, like I also said at that time, I still would have preferred that to a delay.)

What stage?
From Sakurai's Wiki:
Sakurai Died on January 14, 2008 after a crowd of angry fans killed him for Delaying Brawl a 2nd time. A fan was heard screaming you must recover in the incident.
:lol :lol :lol

You know I think the delays wouldn't bother me so much if it weren't for the freakin' Dojo.
I mean, it's the Dojo's fault I'm obsessed. When I know there is a new update every day out there just waiting for me to read about... I can't help myself but check it... then it gets me thinking about smash that day.
Update every day = me thinking about smash every day = the wait becomes excruciating

But guess what? I used this logic to predict a delay.
Tell me, is there a delay? Well, is there?
Okay then.

I'll bet the delay is to force us to buy other Wii games to cope with the wait, 'cause the first thing I thought when I saw this delay (after the initial cursing and sobbing) was, "at least I'll have time to finish Fire Emblem."
I get the picture Nintendo, I'll buy Fire Emblem, already geesh!

It was Changed:
He died in January 15, 2008, after being kicked off a tall building. The person who kicked him off yelled "You Must Recover!" as he fell down to his doom.
Once you know how to attack, the next thing you have to think about is avoiding enemy attacks. Thats where the shield button comes in handy.
You guard against your enemys attack with your shield!!
Shielding against attacks is a top priority. Because if you dont get attacked, you cant get done in! However, the more attacks your shield takes, the smaller it gets.
If your shield breaks, you lose consciousness.
But more important than guarding is dodging.
You just tap the Control Stick in a direction while holding the shield button.
Tap the control stick down to do a sidestep dodge!
Tap it backward to do a backward-roll dodge!
And tap forward to do a forward-roll dodge and get behind your opponent!
If you can do these moves, your enemies will have a hard time landing their attacks. And they make you momentarily invincible, so using them proactively is OK.
Use these moves as much as you can even before you get used to them. Sometimes things become clearer that way.
If only he had followed his own advice.
I wonder if they found some sort of game-killing bug at the last second after they had already gone in to mass production. So they delay in Japan and assume they can just get away with launching with fewer units there. Where as in the US they figure that they have to have a very large amount of units ready to go on day one, so the released is pushed farther back giving them more manufacturing time.

I was thinking the same thing :lol
If only the Wii was region-free, I'd be all over an import copy of the game. But buying a whole additional system to play it early......... :/
I'm obsessed with Brawl, but I don't know if I'm that obsessed. Sigh.
This stage looks awesome! Interesting set-up, water hazards, that grub dog that shows up :lol .
Then my eyes drifted to the release date...
W-why Sakurai? WHY?
I can almost understand the first delay; to push the game into 2008 and make sure it gets the attention it deserves since Christmas is by then over, but this delay just makes no sense to me. What can they possibly be adding at this point? Saying they're balancing the characters a little more might have made sense if the Japanese version hadn't been pushed back by only a week. =(

So I went back to check Dojo, 'cause apparently there's a new stage or something.
And I must say, it looks pretty damn cool.

Honestly this would make a lot of sense. I mean I have a feeling Brawl is gonna break Nintendos back for its online service. It will absolutely crush all records/peak times Nintendo has ever had. 1-1.5 Million Japanese along with 2 million Americans might have been a little to much for the online Nintendo currently has. I guess the unfortunate side affect is spreading it out a tad.Man God said:

If we dont get a wednesday megaton tomorrow after another delay, I am flying to Japan and kicking him off his office building. I will give him a wii remote/nunchuck to tether with.
