TheKingsCrown said:Listen, if there is a GOOD, gameplay altering / character set altering reason for these delays, then FINE. I want it to be the game of the forever. But we don't have any evidence of that right now. All we have evidence of is that Nintendo is fucking manipulating its consumers and its business to maximize profits. And as consumers who are done with Galaxy etc., its not something that's easy to swallow.

IT ISN'T!!!!Insaniac said:I won't mind if this delay is for fine-tuning balance.
I apologize too, for snapping at you at least.Feep said:I also apologize for acting like a dick to GAF, but it really sucks when everyone just assumes you're a lying piece of crap. I guess this IS the internet, after all...skepticism is as essential as breathing, here.
I'm sorry too!

It was delayed 7 days in Japan.
This waspurely for a bump in sales and nothing more.

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?
Actually, it's because I already believed the delay would happen, so I was emotionally prepared. >_>BlueSummers said:Only reason your not too upset Jiggy is because you get to do more stat calculations!

Thank god for Advance Wars in 1 week

God. I haven't even read the text or really looked at the pics yet.
Call me nuts if you want.Man God 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?
I'm really sad right now, that's for sure.Pureauthor said:You people waver on the line between hilarious and really sad.

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.

Masahiro Sakurai (桜井政博, Sakurai Masahiro?) (born on August 3, 1970 in Tokyo, Japan) is a game concept designer, the asshat behind both the Kirby and the Super Smash Bros. series (With the newest one being delayed a second time because he's such a douche) on Nintendo platforms, and the author of a weekly column for Famitsu magazine.
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:You are nuts. Plain and simple. It makes no more sense to release in the beginning of March than February.
