I do get the feeling from this that Europe is simply the first delay announced. Which is fine by me. I wouldn't have been able to buy it in Feb anyway.

To be honest, Gonk, I don't trust you.

Nothing personal, it's just the nature of the Internet: anyone can say anything without any proof.

I could say I know one of the developers for Street Fighter IV, for example. Or that I went back in time and was the one who shot JFK.
Proof? What proof? It's the Internet!

You don't have to take what he said as proof or not, the fact that this game has been delayed in Europe (even though it never had a firm release date there, Q3 is still a delay to me) definitely indicated that it may be delayed elsewhere.

As Ludwig mentioned, Europe has been getting high-profile Wii games only shortly after the rest of the world, so why should Brawl be any different.

And remember, this IS Nintendo we're talking about -- Release dates mean nothing to them, so I'd say don't get too attached to February 10.

We don't know if Brawl's been delayed for Europe... We never even had a solid release day for it in Europe to begin with!
Plus, Europe normally gets games later than America, so this isn't a big surprise, anyways.

Nintendo carries a grudge against europe because the Master System and Game Gear were actually popular here during nintendo's reign of terror.

"...during nintendo's reign of terror."

Also known as the first golden age of video games.

Actually that was the second golden age of videogames. This Wiiplosion could be called the third.

Would you call the atari era the first, then? I see that more of a birth than a golden age. But then, I wasn't alive for it, so...

And truthfully, I'd probably call the PS2 the second golden age, as much as I hate to, with the wii ushering in the 3rd.

Displace by 1 position since you consider the 1st golden age pre-nintendo.

The Wii is not a golden age of gaming. Not yet, anyway.

What do you think made the NES/SNES and PS2 eras so great? Massive amounts of awesome games. Only the DS can make a similar claim, and even that is dubious.

I wouldn't doubt the DS's greatness. I've got 43 DS games right now, with only one regretful purchase (Retro Atari Classics... But it was only $10).

The Wii? No. Not yet, at least. It has a few good titles (I've eight so far, and there are still more I want, just that money is a constraint). It's been out for only a year, hardly time for any system to prove it's worth (and DS has been out for three years).

"It's not the steadfast and ever-lingering sort of hate, but rather that insidious aura which prompts someone to suffocate you with a pillow as soon as you're comfortable enough to share a bed with them."

Are you my ex-girlfriend, Ludwig?


That said, I hope to God there isn't a US delay, also, but I have a bad feeling.

And Europeans...I've said it before, I'll say it again – you guys are just better off importing a Wii from the US if you want games in a timely manner.
...that's ignoring the fact that importing Wii's from anywhere is impossible these days.

Actually in Holland they are pretty easy to get. They are everywhere... maybe they should reroute some Wii's from here to the US?

And with import taxes it would be pretty expensive~~

First Mario Galaxy getting delayed and now this - Is this because the wii is default to code for?
Just jesting, trying to folow the same logic that is applied whenever any PS3 game gets delayed!
But seriously, I think its a problem with Europe having too many languages - and maybe companies should be allowed to launch the US version, even if its i n American english etc if someone wants the title desperately they can just go ahead and buy it cant they.

I think all three systems hate Europe. Which is strange, because they are a huge market second only to the US. I suppose the fact that they have to deal with so many languages and legal codes (EU non-withstanding) pisses them off.

And they pass that hate on to you, the loyal customer.

never had any grumbles about the 360 release schedule here, everything gets released within a week or two of you guys getting it. We dont have the video marketplace of course, but thats not a big deal tbh.

I'm in the same boat you are. Just sent my 360 away about a week ago. I'm hoping it gets back soon though. I haven't had the chance to even play Mass Effect yet.

I sent my 360 on Monday.
I finished Galaxy, but I'm going back and doing it with Luigi now.
It would've been nice to have him since the start, but what ever.

I just wish that Nintendo would pull off some major fanservice and work with Square to bringing Geno or Puff from Super Mario RPG into the game. Geno could be like a new Fox styled character and Puff could be like Yoshi or something. I don't know.
