It's about time. Nintendo Europe has released its second fiscal quarter release schedule and finally pinpointed a release date for Smash Bros. Brawl: Friday, June 27. By then, US gamers will have enjoyed the game for over three months, and Japanese gamers for six months. At least you got Mario Kart Wii first, right?
Nintendo also announced that WiiWare will launch May 20, just 8 days behind the US. The Nintendo Channel, which will allow you to download DS demos and game trailers, is coming May 30. Mark your calendars, Smash Bros. Brawl is now only 64 days away.

You don't need to play the subspace mode to unlock anything.

Fernando,
The DVD9 limited space is becoming an issue. The new game from ID software will ship on 2 discs for 360 and 1 BD for the PS3.
Plus, read this article with one of the founders and creators of GTA. Look at what he has to say about Microsoft using DVD as the storage medium. Basically, your argument that the best games are on DVD will not be useful for much longer.

I think your wrong on some PS3 games needing more than 1 disc. With a simple firmware update the PS3's BD drive will be able to read 100GB and up to 200GB BD discs. If a developer can fill up that much space this generation then I will eat my shoe.

We got Mario Kart Wii first, right? Well yeah, but you waiting two weeks for Mario Kart Wii isn't the same as waiting 6/3 months for Brawl.
There is a very simple reason why Nintendo has delayed Brawl so much, it's so they can find ways of repairing Wii's like they did in America and Japan. Whether it's really dust or cheap components used in a few batches of Wii consoles, it doesn't matter. Nintendo needs to find a place which will handle all of Europe's complaints when it comes to consoles not reading Smash Bros. discs.
Mario Kart Wii and Wii Fit being pushed forward for European release was a nice gesture from Nintendo, and I think it's their nicest gesture towards Europe for about 10 years. If that means they're going to start caring about us more, who knows.

Let me dredge up some care from Give-A-Fuck bay. It's a good job I have not interest in fighters, otherwise I would be pissed. June 27th? What a fucking joke!

Good to know, I keep trying to offer my Brawl FC to some of my Euro friends, and keep remembering at the last second that i'm about to offend them
Everybody's Nintendo channel debut is an even more welcome step forward. One of the necessary steps Nintendo needs to take forward is being taken outside Japan

I found getting Tabuu's trophy pretty easy.
Now, getting Meta Ridley's trophy... that was a pain.

It's great that europe gets a release date, but what about Australia?
We share the same god damn region code as europe so shouldnt we be able to, at the very least, get the release as the europeans?

Those are the best games available on the PS3, but not the PS3's best games.
ROFL. A ps3 fanboi has actually admitted it.
