ONE week in Japan and FOUR weeks in the US?

What the fuck?!

EDIT: DVD PROBLEMS?!

EDIT2:

 

[Zanick]

Why God, why?

 

[fusoya59]

why???
WAAAAIIIII?

This thing was supposed to be out during the launch window! =[[[[[[[[

 

[A Link to the Past]

At no point is there any reason to delay it a month in America for development if it's only a week in Japan.

AKA: Fuck you NoA, lazy shits.

 

[TreIII]

Only a week?
Thank god.

Damn, that's gonna be a long ass week.

Yes indeed...and I already was planning to have a "launch party" with my friends that day...

But...I'll live.

 

[PROOP]

WTF didn't Sakurai say the game has been finished for a while now?!?!?!

First it was launch, then december '07, then january '08 , now a whole week later (March for those poor poor americans)?!?! The rate this is going Duke Nukem Forever will get released first.

 

[Rambaldi]

Whatever. I don't even care anymore. I am canceling my preorder so I can have money to buy something that will be out on time.

 

[Pringo]

Crap, this is the worst news I've heard this week.

And isn't the game finished already? At this point I would guess that Nintendo would only change the release date for strategic reasons but I can't think of why they'd do that at this close to release. Is there a big game coming out on another system in March that I'm forgetting about?

 

[Azuran]

This delay proves that there's no God.

I'm sad now.

 

[VOOK]

I can't believe the tears in this thread, we get treated like shit all year long. Just be thankful your're only getting a month delay :lol

 

[dallow_bg]

Now I know how it feels....

Spoiler

[RiskyChris]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.gif

 

[MGrant]

Surprised it's taken a while for this to show up:

 

[Scribble]

I wonder if there were translation issues.

 

[Narag]

Whatever. I don't even care anymore. I am canceling my preorder so I can have money to buy something that will be out on time.

Oh for fuck's sake.

 

[Stage On]

This is such compelte and total BS! The development is taking slightly longer than expected my ass. If it only got delayed a week in Japan then their is no way in h-e double toothpicks that the game isn't finished already. The time frame is just too small for it to be real.

And what the frick is with North amercia getting the shaft. If it's only a Week in Japan why the ficken hell couldn't it have only been a week here? An entire month is just over kill no matter how much you look at it. I mean how hard can it honestly be to print copies of this game?

The worst part of this all is that unlike last time when we learned about Sonic this time we have nothing what so ever to soften the blow. I'm utterly crushed by this new since this game was the only thing I was litterly looking foward too for a long while now. Now what the heck am I supposted to look foward to game wise for the next two months? Nothing that's what

Febuary would have been perfect since I'd have reading week after it came out but now it's coming out in march which is more assignement heavy...sometimes I really hate collage.

*breaks down in tears*

 

[vertopci]

FUCK!

 

[Spirit3]

More time to play Burnout boys. Or whatever February release has taken your fancy.

 

[dallow_bg]

I wonder if there were translation issues.

Yeah, fighting games are a big chore to translate.

 

[gimz]

Crap, this is the worst news I've heard this week.

DMC4? not too sure

hmm shit, i will be away to Japan and China for 2 months from middle of March... so i guess i wont be getting it until i come back in May... or maybe i can manage to play it in japan somehow

 

[dyls]

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.

This is what I'm thinking. We know there have been shortages of discs in Europe, and possibly elsewhere. I'm guessing NCL decided to steal some of NAs allocation in order to bolster the Japanese launch.

 

[Kobun Heat]

Surprised it's taken a while for this to show up:

 

[-COOLIO-]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

 

[TheRipDizz]

Nintendo was scared Culdcept Saga would steal its thunder.

 

[Slavik81]

I wasn't going to play it until May anyways. Meh.

 

[PunjabiPlaya]

Damnit Sakurai, I was studying for my midterms, but can't concentrate anymore.... DAMNIT!!

I'm gonna go cry myself to sleep now... :'(

 

[dr3upmushroom]

Ah this is kinda good news. More time for Burnout, DMC4, Apollo, NMH and Advance Wars.

 

[TheKingsCrown]

This is what I'm thinking. We know there have been shortages of discs in Europe, and possibly elsewhere. I'm guessing NCL decided to steal some of NAs allocation in order to bolster the Japanese launch.

If this is the case I wish they would just say it.

 

[Big Icarus]

I can't believe the over-reactions in this thread. What's going to happen when you guys find out about the third delay? How did you guys survive the wait for Twilight Princess?

[PantherLotus]

[-COOLIO-]

SAME

FUCKITY FUCK

 

[MGrant]

Ah this is kinda good news. More time for not Brawl.

Fixed. That doesn't console me at all. I want to play Brawl real fucking bad. How would games that are not Brawl make me feel better?

 

[grandjedi6]

Wait, NOA games don't come out on Sunday. What is going on here

 

[RiskyChris]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.gif

 

[santouras]

its a month people, the game is still coming out, its not like its been cancelled.

 

[Kevtones]

DURING FINALS WEEK FUCK YOU NINTENDO

 

[Antdogg355]

Oh well at least I can buy No More Heroes now.

 

[VOOK]

Can't believe people are vandalizing his Wikipedia page, how sad.

 

[Rambaldi]

Oh for fuck's sake.

Excuse me?

I don't want to keep my money tied up in something that isn't coming out. I just paid it off but now it is going to be used to buy something else.

This delay doesn't bother me. We all knew it was coming, deep down, so I'm just spending my money "elsewhere", ya know?

 

[SantaC]

That's it, I am importing the Japanese version.

 

[Firestorm]

So this game is being released 1 year + 1 day after I pre-ordered it.

 

[Osaka]

Can't believe people are vandalizing his Wikipedia page, how sad.

 

[clav]

That's it, I am importing the Japanese version.

What happens if it's region locked?

 

[Firestorm]

Damnit Sakurai, I was studying for my midterms, but can't concentrate anymore.... DAMNIT!!

I'm gonna go cry myself to sleep now... :'(

I was doing an assignment. Agh.

Wait, NOA games don't come out on Sunday. What is going on here

Pokemon did. They ship it in advance.

 

[Chumly]

Whatever. I don't even care anymore. I am canceling my preorder so I can have money to buy something that will be out on time.

Good god. Some people just take it to far. Its not going to be delayed again so just suck it up.

Excuse me?

If you want your money whatever but its not gonna be delayed again so I dont see why you would do that.

 

[JCX]

I almost went to the mall yesterday to reserve brawl. Now I'm happy I didn't

Can't believe people are vandalizing his Wikipedia page, how sad.

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. That’s where the shield button comes in handy.

You guard against your enemy’s attack with your shield!!

Shielding against attacks is a top priority. Because if you don’t get attacked, you can’t 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.

 

[MGrant]

I suppose the delay will give me an opportunity to become friends with/start dating a Nintendo World employee once I get back to NYC for school. I will shag my way to an early copy of Brawl if I have to.
