Super Smash Brothers Brawl Delayed agian

[DekaoTheRAmar]

a recent press release from NOA

"Due to delays in the completion of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, we’ve had to change the release date of the game to Sunday, March 9th.
I deeply apologize to the people who have looked forward to playing the game for so long and ask that you hold on just a little longer. Thank you for your patience."


if i'm not mistaken Japan already has this game

so...how come we dont? I mean it's not like Nintendo is putting anything new in there.

This madness! this is unheard of!

I need to learn Japanese so i can freaking get the games when they're launched instead of waiting for them to get translated.

I'm starting to </3 NOA a little more and more with each day i don't have Brawl.

Delayed another week there. It will come out on Jan. 31.

there are in-game features announced every weekday...

Personally, I don't want a rushed product. In Brawl's case specifically, if they're delaying it, there's probably a good reason for doing so. One such example could be getting the rights to have other characters from non-Nintendo games show up (many people are speculating Megaman to fill in a slot).

Madness?

THIS IS SPARTA!!!!


No rly, this is stupid. I smell a scrapped game coming up.

[PhotonDrop]

It could be worse. You could be a fan of the Duke Nukem series.

[Skuda]

Can you honestly say that you won't buy Smash Bros Brawl because it's a few months late?

[ljkkjlcm9]

does anyone know how many times Ocarina of Time was delayed? Yeah... that's what I thought....

seriously, if it ensures a better game, I wish more companies would take their time with the games they make

THE JACKEL

Or twilight princess, for that matter.

I can live without brawl for as long as it takes to finish it http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[AlexCraig]

Exactly! Twilight Princess took half of forever to make, but when it was done, it was breathtaking. I am more than patient to wait for SSBB.

[Powder Keg]

egh.....such......pain......

Yeah, but remember: If it's a game you want for the Wii you need to buy a Japanese Wii as well as the game.

See, Nintendo made an update for the American Wii (Actually it was in the update to play Metroid Prime 3) Where the use of Freeloaders is no longer an option.

Personally, I'm all right with the delay, I mean, maybe they're adding Golden Sun Characters? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif (Hey, I can dream, can't I? ;p )

[Scrub]

I guess if my system only had one game to look forward to, I'd be pissed too.

[DekaoTheRAmar]

well i mean this is the 2nd time it has been delayed first they said it would be 12/3/07 then they delayed it to March.


I can understand getting rights to characters such as Solid Snake seeing as how Kojima Productions/Konami are more or less signed with Sony in a sense.

Twilight Princess for the Wii was rushed. They needed it out on the launch day of the Wii. I was one of those people who got the horrible bug on the part where you need to teleport the giant cannon towards the end of the game. Frankly i feel that Nintendo could have spent a bit more time on TP. But hey aside from the bug TP was awesome.

Brawl is supposed to be the Wii's main game. That's what supposed to drive people to buy a Wii is in order to play Brawl in fact correct me i'm wrong but Brawl was supposed to be a launch title which was one of the main reasons why i bought a Wii when they came out.

Sure the Wii has Metroid and WiiSports and Super Mario Galaxy but in all honesty there isn't a whole lot of interesting Wii Titles. I mean i play my downloads more than i play the actual games. I'm just a little disapointed in the constant delays.

Then again at least Nintendo is giving us an expected date on when it's going to drop. They could be like ValvE and say Half Life 2 Episode 3 will come out whenever it comes out http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif.

I guess i really shouldn't complain that much =S

[Shadow_Wing]

I'll let it wait it out, just look at how much content is already revealed to us. I'll take on delays for a super polished gamed rather than not. And SSBB has been delayed like 4 times now, which is more than reasonable.

TP has been in the works for 2 years was it? Originally thought to be a GC title no?

I believe I remember reading somewhere that isn't the full game, but rather more of a new demo.

[Mixfortune]

The game would be too finalized for them to try and grab new character rights now, especially with the Japanese version coming at the end of the month.

Likely, since the Japanese version was delayed a week while the US release was pushed back a month, it's something more along the lines of the localization department, or the networking department that's causing delays.

[Shadow_Wing]

Well here's hoping for a demo soon though http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

It was also a GC title. As far as I know the only difference between the two versions is that the Wii version is a perfect mirror of the GC version due to wanting Link to be Right-handed rather than his traditional left, to add comfort for use with the Wii-mote. But yeah, it was delayed tons, most likely just so that Nintendo could release it for the Wii when they found out when they were intending to launch it.
I'm still waiting out on getting a Wii, since I can never seem to find one when I have enough money to buy one. I hope to get it soon so that I can play Smash Bros, when it eventually gets released.

being delayed sucks that we have to wait, but it means they are IMPROVING the game, ya know, to make it better? it's only delayed, dont throw a tantrum.

[Chaosgyro]

I only have the "bunches of mini-games" titles for my Wii. It's more of a party platform in my house, while I play my PC or Xbox 360 (...minus recent red-ring-of-death related debacles) when I want to sit and play a traditional shooter/rpg/whatever.

[DekaoTheRAmar]

i mean sure i have PSU and all but if you play it too much you get bored with it. I've logged in more hours on my 360 and my PC than i have on my Wii. I was looking forward to actually spending a good amount of time playing my Wii rather than my computer or Xbox.

Ah well. You are right, i would rather have a finished non buggy completed game than a game i was looking forward to playing only to have it turned into a piece of crap.

[Jaspaller]

Really couldn't care. As much as I want smash bros... I still need to beat metroid prime 3 and also pick up Mario Galaxy first.

[DekaoTheRAmar]

ah i've already beaten those.


fun games those are

[DraginHikari]

Actually at this point the delays have nothing to do with content, it's material issues, the only explanation for the JPN delay is simply the development team cut it far too close. The time to print and package the discs wouldn't make it for the original Jaunary 24 release day in JPN.

As far as the NA release it seems like alot of it comes down to localization, the additonal four weeks time is probably an attempt to get things done now that it has been cut too close by the development team. Probably the original plan was to be done far enough ahead of time that they'd have no issue releasing the NA verison in a few weeks time, obiviously that didn't happen.

@DekaoTheRAmar

The original Launch Title release was going to be simply a Melee with online play, they weren't originally going to do that much with it. Instead, Sakurai and his team decided to take a different approach and do the best they absolutely could with what they had to work with. And so far it looks promising.

[DonRoyale]

I'll wait. I have PSU to occupy myself with until Brawl is released.

Though I am sorta ticked that it was delayed...but there's gotta be a reason, and I think Mix spelled it out pretty well.
