That refers solely to Wi-Fi functionality, not general release date. Nice try though.
How about following the link in my last post before making a bigger ass of yourself?
No it's not. They literally say
But I will tell you, we are already working on several Wi-Fi titles. Each one starring one of our key franchise characters. One or two Wi-Fi games will be ready for launch. AND I AM PUSHING MY TEAM TO MAKE SURE SMASH BROTHERS IS ONE OF THEM.
- He says we are working on several online titles.
- He says that one or two of THOSE online titles will be ready for launch.
- He then says that he will be pushing his team (could be HAL at the time for all we know) to make sure that one of those online launch titles will be Smash Bros.
So, where exactly is he only referring to the game being online? Your link is a write up from e3 2005, which I gave you a direct link of. Iwata himself said those words. IGN rewrote them and said "Smash Bros. will be a launch title". Which isn't true, if you can read or have listened to Iwata instead of what IGN summarizes. Never did Iwata say that the game
will in fact be a launch title. "Nice try though."

His team didn't refer to the team making the game. There WAS NO TEAM MAKING SMASH AT THAT TIME.
He was talking about his team as in all the business people at Nintendo trying to get the Smash Team together which resulted in a whole new studio for them.
I know that the team that is now making the game did not exist at the time of those words from Iwata, which I said a couple of times in my posts if you would have read them. I just said that you can work on a game in the planning fase and all that without actually beginning to develop it. They'd still have HAL, the source code and engine afterall to make the game if Sakurai were to decline Iwata's offer. It would have been a different Smash Bros., but it would have been a online Smash Bros. nonetheless. Oh, and afaik they didn't try to get the Smash Team together since it is a new team. After Sakurai accepted Iwata's offer, he was giving a new studio and only then the recruitment of new employees for the game began (for the exception of a large amount of a other development team that were supposedly hardcore Smash Bros. fans/players that joined the team also).

Don't bother man, he's hopeless.
If you would have posted that before I woudn't have even replied to your post. Pretty weak of you to say that, since you are wrong and not me.
