SSBB delay

You read it correct, this is no joke. The good fella’s at smashbros.com had this to say:

“Due to delays in the completion of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, we’ve had to change the release date of the game to Sunday, March 9th.

I deeply apologize to the people who have looked forward to playing the game for so long and ask that you hold on just a little longer. Thank you for your patience.”

 

So, March 9th till we get our precious Brawl. It is about two months from now.

If you want to see it for yourself, head on over to www.smashbros.com.

~Some Questions~

With all of the delays, are you still going to purchase this game the day it is put on shelves?

Has the anticipation level dropped?

How awesome will you expect this game to be because it has been delayed yet again?

    I bet they just added Mega-Man to the crew, that’s why they delayed it. Of course I’m still getting it you CRAZY~? \:D/

    I doubt the delay is because they are squeezing more “awesome” on the disc…

  3. Gravatar scullum2001 Says:

    Yes, I’ll definitely still get it.
    I’m disappointed, but still anticipating the release.
    It better be amazing since we all had to wait through 2 delays. :-)

    Yeah, i know, it’s probably because they know that the more time it’s delayed, the more wii’s sold… the more games sold. damn them! i wish i had it in me to not buy the game, it’s almost like they don’t deserve it

  6. Gravatar Berend Jan Says:

  7. Gravatar Lolz Says:

    SHIT!

  8. Gravatar Manu Says:

    wow…just wow
    there is no question…ppl that are disappointed by yet another freaking delay are still going to get the game…(eventually)
    but all i have left to say about this ridiculous situation is (please excuse my language):
    MOTHER F*CK*RS!!!

  9. Gravatar Manu Says:

    The people complaining are more frustrated with Nintendo’s inability to properly project when their games will be done and continually give players false hope. If a game isn’t done, it of course is best to delay it, but stop making promises about when the games will be done. This happens with 90% of Nintendo’s games. You would think by now they would be able to estimate how long it would take to get a game done, after 30 years in the business.

  10. Gravatar Jon Says:

    They’re not adding anything. Especially with the Japanese release date so close. I just lost all hope with nintendo. I wouldn’t be surprised we see another delay. SSBB is officially off my list of games to buy.

  11. Gravatar Taylor Says:

    Where’s Sakari? I got some business to take of! D:

  12. Gravatar Roth Says:

    This is what the creator of Mega-Man, Keiji Iafune, said:

    “Well, I really do love Super Smash Brothers. It’s a great series…but, Nintendo hasn’t asked me yet if they can use Mega Man in their game. I’m still waiting…we have a little bit of time left, it’s not coming out for another few months. They might get around to asking us if we’d like to put Mega Man in Super Smash Brothers. Maybe if somebody from Nintendo is listening to this podcast, they’ll give me a call.”

    This was posted on December 22nd, 2007.

    So imagine sometime, between then and last week Nintendo decided to call Keiji up and ask if they could add in the character. It must’ve been a last minute choice. \:D/

    @Taylor

    LOL, I’m betting he’s recovery move well be a self-inflating balloon like technique… (After all the man is apparently full of hot air…)

    FLICK
    thats it.
    If your like me and need to take out your anger,
    punch a baby.
    Makes everything better.
    (not literally. I got an awesome tip-off about a site called http://www.babypuncher.com . I recomend it.)

  16. Gravatar Anonymous Says:

    They should change the name of this game to Smash ‘Em Forever.

    If it gets delayed again it won’t come out until Christmas.

  17. Gravatar Luke Says:

    Ohhh! Come ON! While Japan is getting the good life with on time release dates, were over here suffering from delays. This makes me want to throw my wii out the window!

    Sorry about the double post people. My computer froze up there for a second.

  20. Gravatar Gabe Says:

    EPIC NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

  21. Gravatar SirVenom Says:

    First release date: 11-19-2006
    Second release date: 12-something-2007
    Third release date: 2-10-2008
    Fourth release date: 3-09-2008

    Next, they will announce that they are making two versions of it (one for Wii, one for the NEXT console) and releasing them at the same time…. 2012

  22. Gravatar Jonathan Says:

    There better be a reason for this delay.

  23. Gravatar Gabe Says:

    HAHA! Like they did on Twilight Princess. Haha, second release date was on Dec 3rd I think.

  24. Gravatar POWER Says:

    ahh well get there one day!! probably fixing up wifi n is that the official box art? cuz its waaayy better than the other one.

  25. Gravatar Ayce Says:

    My sources tell me that the developer is not happy with the controll scheme on the Wiimote/Nunchuck combo. They want it to work flawlessly and right now that’s not the case.

  26. Gravatar FISHDAWG2000 Says:

    Jesus they better not add any waggle to this game.

    If they delayed the game for Waggle ill be pissed off.

  27. Gravatar skunkchop Says:

    I’m probably one of the few people not completely disappointed with this delay. Just imagine how awesome the game is going to be, it’s coming out nearly a year and a half later than it was initially set to come out. They might even put Mega Man in.
    Plus, this would really help with the sales of No More Heroes.

  28. Gravatar Maikeruu Says:

    If this is the official cover that’s Luigi on the left side third from the top.

  29. Gravatar greenrunner3 Says:

    i think that maybe we can tell Nintendo what we think by messaging them on the “Voting
    Channel” in the wii. im planning and telling them how much it sucks that they are soo freakin’ bad at timing the release of their games and giving us false hope, do they think its funny? wtf

  30. Gravatar SirVenom Says:

    That is not the official box art; I am pretty sure the “other one” is. The boxes with the faces aren’t smooth enough for professional work.

  31. Gravatar Daniel Says:

    You can easily tell thats not the oficial box art seeing that the pictures of the characters at the front are the same ones that the ones put at the dojo… Im pretty sure that the other box art is the oficcial because they have used it for the japanese comercials… Anyway the other one is much better.

  32. Gravatar lDarkAvenger Says:

    Well, at least we Canadians/Americans have a release date, and I’m confident that with SSBB already on the market in Japan there will be no more delays for us, just think about poor Europe
    I guess.
