American delay to March 9.

Nintendo said:
The launch date for Super Smash Bros. Brawl has shifted a few weeks to March 9. The development is taking slightly longer than expected. As we're sure you have seen on the Dojo site (www.SmashBros.com), the game contains an unprecedented number of characters, options and experiences. Be sure to keep an eye on the Dojo site for the latest information.

Why does Japan get a delay of a mere week and America gets a whole month?

Oh well, glad I have a JPN-capable Wii.

Delayed so they can press more copies?
I read some retailer reports that they were getting nowhere near enough copies to meet demand, and some had already allowed more pre-orders than they were due to get at launch.

They are delaying it to print more copies, so they can meet the demand for it most likely. So your wait will be for nothing.

Edit:
Not surprising. After the many fiascoes with delays after delays for the Zelda games, I've come to expect at least two delays for every high profile Nintendo console release. Basically take the initial release date given and always add four months to that, and that's about when you should really expect a major Nintendo title to ship.

That sucks but we really did expect it. kinda blows that they waited until it was less than 30 days away to announce it. I'll bet Capcom is gonna be PISSED that they moved up Okami to March and Nintendo does this to them. March looks fuggin ridiculous as is.

I hate you Nintendo.

Cloud, he who shall not be named, and Zelda's vagina had better be playable in the game or I will make sure to stop supporting you in all this nonsense.

they probably want to delay it for a week so we can have more "Japan time" update before they release the game :lol

no, but i think the reason for delaying is Nintendo wants to make sure they have enough copies to sell for the next... i donno, 3 days after the launch?

Damn, I was getting pumped, too.

I guess that explains the "mou sugu" part of the ads they were running on TV.

This could explain the lack of adverticement in Japan, though. I bet they didn't want to put up ads with the wrong release date. Hopefully it'll be better now.

No word about EU-release yet :(

These meltdowns are priceless.

I mean, yeah, I'm disappointed, but nowhere near the comedic level that some of you are reaching.

I want compensation for the delay like a free one year subscription to big breasted japanese women magazine or some gay manga.

The Good news
Dragon Quest Swords now gets the entire month to itself!

The bad news
Okami gets fuckin screwed. AGAIN. Maybe they'll bump it back to April/May like they had it.
Actually, all those 3rd party games that were coming out in March will have to be moved.


If I was a pub right now I would be FUCKIN PISSED>

I'm going to keep my anger in this thread so as not to feel the wrath of Sp0rsk. Something tells me he is about to give the beatdown in the other thread.

Nintendo. Tell. Us. Why.
