I'm not really that mad because I still have Metroid Prime 3: Corruption to play, but the fact that Japan's delay is so much shorter gets me SO ANGRY :( If it weren't so expensive I would go to Japan, buy the game, play it for a month, buy the English version on March 9, and then sell the Japanese version to an Asian friend of mine.

For all of you people hoping about updates, the character list has already been released and the only new updates are Wolf from the Fox series, Lucario the Pokemon, R.O.B. the robot, and a bunch of characters from Melee. Silver lining: Luigi's my favorite character.

One more thing before I sign off. Until March 8th, I'm expecting another delay until June 20th or something.

You'd think these new release dates due to development issues would be pushed back linearly...but I guess video games in Japan develop 75% faster than in the United States. That is fan freakin-tastical, but I'm pretty sure it violates the first law of thermodynamics.

I Can't Stand It I Know You Planned It
But I'm Gonna Set It Straight, This Watergate
I Can't Stand Rocking When I'm In Here
Because Your Crystal Ball Ain't So Crystal Clear
So While You Sit Back And Wonder Why
I Got This Fucking Thorn In My Side
Oh My God, It's A Mirage
I'm Tellin' Y'all It's Sabotage

So, just curious, did you know the actual lyrics of Sabotage BEFORE you got Rock Band?

They must have heard my prayers and knew I wouldn't have been able to buy it right before I got married. Now it will be mine on launch day!

Yeah, a 1 week delay for Japan and a 1 MONTH delay for the US. Not to mention that the game is still TBA in Europe!
What the balls Nintendo, what the balls.

If Wii's weren't region coded, Nintendo of Europe would be sending out preemptive cease and desist letters warning against selling imported copies of the game like they do Pokemon.

That's alright I'll pull some strings and get it launched earlier in Europe.

If this isn't to fine tune the Bluetooth headset that will be bundled with the game than this is an epic fail on Nintendo's part.

So Japan gets delayed a week (it's now the 31st of January)...which somehow pushes us back a month.
UGH

My guess is that the game has gone gold a bit late, but since the game is being made in Japan, the manufacturing delay only has to be a week, since they could get it to stores almost hot off the presses (i'm pretty sure they're actually pressed in Malaysia, but still a lot closer)
The logistical difficulties, however, push it back for US a month, so that they can have a fully-stocked launch

It IS Nintendo, after all...
Yes, I'll be pissed about the delay. But then the game will finally come out, and I'll be completely satisfied.
Besides, No More Heroes and Advance Wars are coming soon. They will fit nicely.

This puts extra pressure on No More Heroes. Now it has the pressure of having to be superior to God Hand in order to compensate for the Brawl delay.
See what you did, Nintendo? No More Heroes doesn't DESERVE that kind of pressure from you! Now Suda is probably pissed, too! GG, GUYS!

And what's worse! A delay announcement and no 3rd party character announcement to go along with it!
THIS MAKES ME ANGRYFISH.
IF WE DON'T GET A NEW 3RD PARTY CHARACTER ANNOUNCED TOMORROW NINTENDO, I'M GOING TO SHOVE NICKELS IN TO YOUR URETHRA!
Mega Man or bust!
