Smash Bros. Brawl delayed in US until February 10, 2008 (Joystiq)

[R.O.B.]

Filed under: Nintendo Wii, Action, Fighting

At a media summit this morning in San Francisco, Nintendo of America's George Harrison (via MTV Multiplayer) has confirmed that the US version of Smash Bros. Brawl will follow in its Japanese brethren's footsteps and be delayed until February 10, 2008.

The loss of this future bestseller during the holiday season will definitely sadden some fans (and Nintendo's profit margin), but then again Mario Galaxy is also coming in November (so far as we know) and it was always uncharacteristic of Nintendo to space AAA-title releases so close together.

No word yet on a delay for PAL territories, though we suspect a similar fate.

Just posted something similar to this over in the Wii discusion. This is horrible news for us in the NA. Hopefully I will be satisfied if Super Mario RPG will come out within the next month to the VC.

I don't, that's why I said "if". It's just speculation. That's been one of the guesses that many people have thinking that since there was the "Month of Metroid", that with Super Mario Galaxy coming next month, many people think there might be a "Month of Mario". If it would happen, who knows what games would come out, but anyways, I really do not know when SMRPG will come out.

Oh right sorry, I didn't see the "if". My bad.

I refuse to believe this news. Don't take it personally, but amazon and the Dojo still say December 3rd and my online pre-order still says it will be shipped to me on December 3rd. Smashboards is down for now, so I can't check there.
