Super Smash Bros Brawl - Delayed Edition

Yeah, I know. Didn't see that coming. I hope this is the last delay, or else some people are going to get furious.

 

Was the delay like 2-3 weeks? No big deal really. =/

 

Honest to God, the thing that really pisses me off is the fact that Japan is only delayed for a week while ours is a month's delay. I don't really care about how long the delay is, it's just a kick in the crotch for us.

 

Live in Europe then. =/

We have to wait longer for a game that is in the same language as yours.

 

Hmm yeah, I notice that the European site doesn't have anything about the delay, but then we didn't even know when we were getting it anyway. ._.

 

Well then, time to mod my Wii and import Brawl

 

Well, that was sad and disappointing.

I guess I'll have to entertain myself with something else during the week of Feb 10-16 (my week off from school). Or the whole month of February for that matter.

@DA: I understand your sorrow, but importing a NA title wouldn't be all that bad to solve your problem since it's like you said--in the same language as ours. There are many in North America who can't speak or understand Japanese, which is the main reason why fewer people import JP titles. The language barrier stops a large majority of people from importing (and already a lot of people do import even if they know next to nothing about the language). Importing the NA version of Brawl on the other hand--if you live in Europe--is practically the solution if you ask me, since you're not going to be short-changed in any way other than paying a little more for shipping (how ironic). Of course this would mean you would have to address the issue that your Wii would have to be capable of playing NTSC, but since before the Wii, this has been the case, so it's not like there hasn't been ample time to prepare. Being the gamer I am, I probably would've bought and imported a NA model Wii if I lived in Europe, since I'm pretty sure any game I would've liked would've seen NA shores first before Europe. This is the same reason why I wish I imported a JP PS3 instead of a NA one. I could've played my PS2 imports without having a hitch and still play NA PS3 titles because of the new region free business.

Anyway, I will probably just wait it out, guys, and amuse myself with Halo 3 on XBL until then.
Wait, what was that, Resetti?

You have no one to blame but yourself. >:|

*goes to check the probably-infuriated community of Smash Boards*

Ooo, a small Pokemon Trainer review from Whobby (For Moodkip):

FAT EDIT: WHOOOO CHECK OUT MY COUNTDOWN TIMER GUYS! You will eat this delay and you will love it!

 

Lol, you underestimate me, I knew most of this. xD
There were a little tidbits in there that made me giddy however, helped improve the day. xD
Some of the problems he was talking about are glitches that haven't been worked out yet, like stamina and faulty attacks. Or at least that's what I heard.

 

lol Soush you said it like importing was foriegn to me. =P

I've imported before, and honestly if we knew the wait will be like 6 months or more then importing for me would be an option, but I don't want to go through the hassle of modding my Wii if their will only be a 2 month wait. I imported KH2 from the US because doing it for the PS2 was relatively easy with swap magic, so I had no worries importing.

 

WHAT EVER YOU GUYS DO, BE CAREFUL MODDING WIIS.
You can screw up the Wii where you can't get updates if you do it improperly, if I were you, I'd just buy a Japanese Wii, much MUCH safer.

 

@Soushirei

What does this say?

本作『大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズX』は、完成の遅延のため、
日本国内の発売日を2008年1月31日(木)とさせていただくことになりました。
一週間の延期となります。
発売を心待ちにしている方々には、心よりお詫び申し上げます。
ご迷惑をおかけしますが、いましばらくお待ちください。よろしくお願いします。

 

What I meant was that Euro release dates haven't really changed since the N64 days. It shouldn't have surprised anyone that Brawl would take a few months to hit Euro after it hit NA, since it's been this way since way before this generation of gaming (It was like that for N64 and Gamecube days). That being said, if I lived in Europe and the Wii was just announced to the public, I would've simply imported a North American Wii from the very beginning instead of getting a Euro one at launch. I wouldn't care about not being able to play PAL versions since I would be literally importing all my games from NA (months before they hit Euro shelves). What I'm suggesting here wouldn't require modding Wiis at all, but rather, you're completely immersing yourself in a different market.

And because you'd be buying a game that's in a language you speak, I don't see any problem whatsoever in doing so. And I *know* there are NTSC TVs over there, so having said that, becoming a NTSC gamer living in Europe isn't difficult. You might spend extra money on every title you buy because of shipping, but personally I would think it's well worth the few months in advance that you get the game.

 

Yeah you do make a very good point, but a point a year late. =P

But honestly finding a Wii last Christmas was hard enough, but importing a console which was hard to find in the first place would be tricky and or expensive. XD

Would of been good to do that, then I would of been able to get One PieceL Unlimited Adventure for sure instead of doubt it would be released in Europe.

 

Those Japenese are really lucky. They get everything....earlier.

BTW, how do you guys like my Ike sig? :P

 

Putting in a wiikey isn't too hard. Modding is easy nowadays.

The DC2Key is a bit complicated, so I would say the wiikey is better.

Wow, this game is starting to dissapoint me.

 

New trailer and 2 new TV spots

Nice update today. That Shiek was considered for being in TP is pretty interesting.

Edit: whoa, just saw that Brawl got 40/40 in Famitsu:

On his ability to break my heart, Sakurai gets 40/40.

 

For some reason I'm not surprised. O.o
