Smash Bros. Brawl delayed in US until February 10, 2008

The loss of this future bestseller during the holiday season will definitely sadden some fans (and Nintendo's profit margin), but then again Mario Galaxy is also coming in November (so far as we know) and it was always uncharacteristic of Nintendo to space AAA-title releases so close together.
No word yet on a delay for PAL territories, though we suspect a similar fate.

Yay, more time to play other games!!
Now I can give Orange Box, Army of Two, Mario Galaxy, and Assassins Creed the love they need.
and BurnoutParadise
modified @ Oct 11th 2007 12:54PM
Burnout Paradise comes out next year too.
Mr Khan @ Oct 11th 2007 4:24PM
Happy: It gives me room to buy Fire Emblem & NiGHTS 2
Sad: It makes Brawl come dangerously close to No More Heroes
JodyAnthony @ Oct 11th 2007 12:28PM
also sadface
but more time for me to play through galaxy, so it's all good.

Exactly.
I'll be in Mexico this Christmas anyways so it doesn't bother me much. I can spend my Christmas money elsewhere.

speaking of darth vader
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
AgentESPIO7 @ Oct 11th 2007 6:58PM
Darth Vader yelling no was the first thing I thought of when I saw the headline.
=(
dave @ Oct 11th 2007 12:29PM
That does suck balls like.
Wes @ Oct 11th 2007 12:29PM
I guess maybe they are delaying it so it can launch along side FF13 or MGS4 and try to steal some of the steam from one of their competitors?
Though, I am not sure if this game would detract much steam from the hype surrounding any of those two games. Though it does seem more cuasl-game oriented...so maybe.
Raikage (NDF - PK THUNDER RING) @ Oct 11th 2007 12:51PM
Wow, someone knows nothing about games...
Jtenma @ Oct 11th 2007 12:30PM
I cant even express how many bricks I just shat.....
Man....this changes everything.....
Rubix42 @ Oct 11th 2007 12:30PM
I'm torn, want to play this badly, yet I know that spacing out some of these awesome games will really make things easier on my sanity. Here's to hoping another 1 or 2 AAA titles get delayed!!
Zombie # 23,433 @ Oct 11th 2007 1:43PM
That sounds all good and dandy but all of these "AAA" titles are already delayed to Feb or March 08'. So now your going to have the same problem you thought you had now in march...
lessbiasedthanmost @ Oct 11th 2007 12:30PM
Seems like being on time is last-gen too. Really people, is it that hard to stick to a release date?
mr nimblewick (SegaDF - Jogurt Ring) @ Oct 11th 2007 12:32PM
It actually is.
Jtenma @ Oct 11th 2007 12:34PM
I agree with you fully....
How about not releasing a date in the first place so people dont get their hopes up for "December 3".
They should have done everything in their power to get this game out...
Oh and what a delay too...couldn't they just delay it to like Jan. or something, damn!!!waffles12121syrup!!
lessbiasedthanmost @ Oct 11th 2007 12:36PM
It's only hard to do when you're setting unrealistic dates. If you're going to say the game will be ready by a date, you darn well should have it ready by then; otherwise you get the Duke Nukem Forever problem.
spunkyMP4 @ Oct 11th 2007 4:43PM
It's hard for Nintendo to keep a release date. Look how long they delayed LoZ Twilight Princess. Hopefully they won't delay Mario Galaxy.
Sathure @ Oct 12th 2007 1:11AM
Nintendo is trying to kill Christmas..
megaStryke @ Oct 11th 2007 12:31PM
It's Sonic's fault, that blue sonuvabitch.
Martin @ Oct 11th 2007 12:38PM
I agree. That spiky blue nutsack ruined Christmas.
AstroZombie @ Oct 11th 2007 12:45PM
Obviously the delay is due to Sonic's involvement. The devs ran into difficulty configuring the blast processing in such a way that the duct tape doesn't melt. Additional play testing is needed.
Jerk Face @ Oct 11th 2007 1:25PM
Blast Processing LOL..
That's a plus for you.
Jaylati @ Oct 11th 2007 1:38PM
Shouldn't Sonic had sped things up rather than slow things down?
All those damn drugs he did with Tails is catching up to him.
Rubang B (NDF - Heart) @ Oct 11th 2007 2:03PM
2 tails? Yeah right. More like 2 tabs of acid.
Word of the street(IDF-Digital Ruler). @ Oct 11th 2007 2:52PM
Astrozombie you're winner,Hahaha...Ducktape.
mr nimblewick (SegaDF - Jogurt Ring) @ Oct 11th 2007 12:31PM
February?!?!?!?!
blooh (CDF - Nipple Ring) @ Oct 11th 2007 12:34PM
valentine's day :)
mr nimblewick (SegaDF - Jogurt Ring) @ Oct 11th 2007 1:13PM
I'm getting married in Feb... How am I going to explain to my fiance that we have to delay it so I can play Smash Bros.?
ThornedVenom @ Oct 11th 2007 1:26PM
Oh right, because getting married or playing SSMB is SUCH a hard choice to make. ;P
I feel sorry for you dude. Life fucked up again. xD
Nushio (NDF - Blue) @ Oct 11th 2007 1:40PM
You can play Smash bros on the honeymoon. :P
Rubang B (NDF - Heart) @ Oct 11th 2007 2:07PM
Rubang's advice:
Get married in January or don't get married.
Almack64 (NOF - Ultrazord) @ Oct 11th 2007 2:42PM
I got married Nov 18 2006, my wedding gift from my wife was a Wii in the form of a Best buy gift card. That night we take a plane to Mexico where I saw no Best Buys. Came back from honeymoon and there where no Wii's in stock ANYWHERE. Did not get Wii until mid Feb... See my wife is very smart
Mark @ Oct 11th 2007 12:36PM
2007 is M$'s year. The game of the year will be on the 360. Which one, I do not know.
WiNG @ Oct 11th 2007 12:40PM
The game of the year is Orange Box...
...on PC
User made content FTW. It is only a matter of time till PC has Portal guns in TF2.
JodyAnthony @ Oct 11th 2007 12:47PM
what about super mario galaxy?
although my GOTY is already chosen, Zelda Phantom Hourglass.
Crono (NDF - French Taunting from Holy Grail Ring) @ Oct 11th 2007 1:09PM
Phantom Hourglass is indeed awesome.
Hirsbrunner @ Oct 11th 2007 1:22PM
Yes it is. Very awesome.
Sean @ Oct 11th 2007 3:51PM
I love Phantom Hourglass as well.
Chyld989 @ Oct 11th 2007 12:35PM
I'll agree with the previously mentioned sad faces, although I'm poor enough that I would have had to put the game on my (already almost maxxed) credit card anyway...so maybe this'll be a good thing in that respect. I'm still sad though.
