Those six exclamation marks really made the difference in getting your point across.

Ignatius @ Mar 5th 2008 8:27AM

Wow, that pic is awesome. I guess he'd die eventually though.

NO U.

Maverick Saturn @ Mar 5th 2008 9:14AM

Only as retarded as the person who claims it is.

March 9 - That's this SUNDAY, guys.

AwesomeStuff @ Mar 5th 2008 9:57AM

Thats the day, I, become...a Man. A manly man that will defeat all that challenges.

Christopher Grant @ Mar 5th 2008 10:05AM

Fixed. Silly dates.

Cryoh @ Mar 5th 2008 8:05AM

March 9th isn't a Tuesday...

Ethan Rom @ Mar 5th 2008 8:05AM

Isn't next tuesday the 11th of March??

Intentless @ Mar 5th 2008 8:11AM

SUNDAY MARCH 9TH!!! Blasphemers!!!

Intentless @ Mar 5th 2008 8:20AM

Sorry forgot the /Sarcasm line... Although it is a pretty silly mistake on such a highly anticipated game... And I wanted to use the word blasphemers...

John Z @ Mar 5th 2008 8:12AM

Let's cut Ross some slack, here. Tuesday is the 9th-- in the Hylian calendar, not our now-standard Gregorian calendar.

Ross Miller @ Mar 5th 2008 11:23AM

Finally, someone who understands my genius!

Blazur @ Mar 5th 2008 8:24AM

I've never played the game, but I've gotta say after spending a few days researching it on the dojo website I gotta admit I'm pumped! It looks like they're packing boatloads of content into the box and should lead to hours of entertainment. The Blockbuster near my house is doing a pre-ordered midnight shipment, and I'll be there with an eager look on my face.

Jerk Face @ Mar 5th 2008 9:48AM

How do you get internet access in your cave?

Jtenma @ Mar 5th 2008 8:25AM

But I wonder really...

Is this game actually coming out on a Sunday?...Sometimes reatilers/distributors make errors, and don't correct them till' the last minute. (this happened with another game as well...but I can't recall the name of it)

With that being sad, I think this game(on a Sunday, c'mon, REALLY NAO!) will come out on the 11th!

Blazur @ Mar 5th 2008 8:28AM

Yes, it's really coming out on Sunday.

Crono (NDF - Knight of the Old School) @ Mar 5th 2008 8:39AM

My local EB is holding a Smash Bros Melee tournament saturday night that leads directly into the midnight launch.

Winner of the tourney gets a free copy.

DSeaver @ Mar 5th 2008 9:33AM

Midnight launch at my local gamestop

PSN: KillaKornbread (the shirt is a lie!) @ Mar 5th 2008 10:22AM

i dont know if you got one at launch or not (or if you even have one for that matter) but the Wii itself was also launched on a Sunday. they do this with their big games.

i have a theory that this is Nintendo's way of screwing with me since they know ill stay up all night playing it the first night knowing i have class (and a presentation due) in the morning. damn you and your spiteful ways Nintendo!

hydralisk456 @ Mar 5th 2008 11:30AM

Yeah Nintendo likes to release big titles on Sundays, last one I think was Pokemon D&P.

flameofdoom666 @ Mar 5th 2008 8:25AM

I know it was said, but-

"next Tuesday, March 9," that is really Sunday, March 9.

Jtenma @ Mar 5th 2008 8:29AM

Nice to have you on the bandwagon...even if ur alittle late.

The Smash bros. games offer some of the deepest combat available in the fighting genre, not to mention the most rewarding as well. I know, I know, it's sort of hard to imagine how such a simle control scheme can be so deep...but that actually is the reason as to why it is so addicting. You can focus more on tactics rather than sitting there trying to pull off Jin Kazama's uppercut to kick to spinning demon uppercut.

Jtenma @ Mar 5th 2008 8:30AM

OMG meant for blazur...sorry.

Blazur @ Mar 5th 2008 8:35AM

A simple, consistent control scheme is the key to captures the attention of many gamers. Once you understand the core gameplay, I gather you can pick up any character and quickly learn their nuances and unique advantages.

Tekken was somewhat user-friendly in that you could simply button mash to excel. Each character's style was fluid enough, but it did involve some practicing and studying to truly master each character.

Mortal Kombat, on the other hand, is the worst of the lot. The commands to execute moves are too unique and required complete memorization, so there was a steep learning curve.

Egon Pax @ Mar 5th 2008 8:32AM

I can't wait for this game to come out.

There was another game I pre-ordered that came out on a Sunday... I can't remember what it was off the top of my head... possibly GH3? Anyways they had a midnight release and all that.

Dannyboi68 @ Mar 5th 2008 8:32AM

Ohh so thats why u guys never put Brawl on the list for this weeks game releases...yea, damn how do u screw up brawls release date?!

Egon Pax @ Mar 5th 2008 8:36AM

Even if they didn't screw up Brawl's release date it would be on next week's releases...technically Sunday is the beginning of NEXT week...

Although working people (like myself) and students (once again like myself) forget that...

Ah whatever! This game needs to get here faster.

vidGuy @ Mar 5th 2008 8:35AM

I guess you get to make up days when you have a big name release. I can see it now:

"Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, available on Bonerday, June 12!"

Egon Pax @ Mar 5th 2008 8:40AM

That's how big MGS4 is going to be... they are going to make their own holiday.

It's the day right after Katilsday in the middle of Smarch.

Intentless @ Mar 5th 2008 8:48AM

June 12 just another dissapointing day....

Jtenma @ Mar 5th 2008 8:37AM

Maybe we should all exchange FC's here...the official Brawl Night Thread NAO! (We should all play together and learn each others tactics) I would add mine now, but I'm away from home:{

I haven't played in a while because I wanted to have a fresh experience, and start from scratch.
