Ah hell. EU Brawl fans, look here.

I just heard some very bad news (for Europeans anyway) from videogamer.com. Apparently, Super Smash Brothers Brawl will not be out in the EU until after the second quarter of 2008. Thanks, Nintendo. You really love us don't you? Why not just release the American version over here, ready for PAL consoles, and release the translated version to the rest of the EU when it's done? You'll get more sales! And it means you'l have more happy gamers! Look here for the details.

*sob*

Haha, sucks for you.

BlindsideDork

Smash Dojo lists NO date.
No offense but Europe always get the short end of the stick...why is this a surprise?

Mista Smegheneghan

i know ;~;

electristan

wtf how did they rationalize this? if i had to have the game in Bulgarian or that other backwater language, French i'd understand that i might have to wait a bit but if the game is already out in english elsewere just relese the damn thing. any word on our friends in OZ and New Zealand?

F Whipple

but you recieved strikers before us which completely makes up for it right?.....right?

Mista Smegheneghan

none that i know of, unfortunately. only the EU, US and JP dates

DanielMachine

Wow that sucks for Europe..

Mista Smegheneghan

any time we do get a game before somewhere else, more often than not the translation is rushed. *coughminishcapcough*

plus, one game before everyone else a year is asking too much of ninty

SoapMacTavish

Looking at June, at the earliest.

"God Bless The U....S....A!!!!"

Nintendo fucking sucks dick whe it comes to release dated. Apparently, nobody over there knows how to release games in multiple regions.

Maurice Tan

Goddammit! I swear to god, Sony is looking really good compared to Nintendo these days.

Mista Smegheneghan

actually, i have a better idea. why doesn't nintendo just wise up and release them all within a week of each other after ALL the versions are done instead of forcing the Europeans (and for a time, the americans) to wait while the others get better at it and release all the details? lot easier and much more fair

king3vbo

Why does Nintendo hate Europe so much? I've never been able to figure that out

Rockvillian

That sucks.....

Got any friends in the States? You should ask for plane tickets for Christmas.

Mista Smegheneghan

none unfortunately. and importation is a lot of hassle. may go through that though, they never have wiis here, and when they do they're overpriced by at least �100

Justice

I'll try and cop an Australian version if it comes out earlier because aussie wii's are PAL like ours

Mista Smegheneghan

ooh yeah. good idea justice

Mista Smegheneghan

and the worst bit of this is, they'll use this as tomorrow's update, knowing luck

Holyetheline

I would gtfo that country if i were you. Come to the US where release dates are great.

ZekeThePlumber

This localization can be a tricky thing. Wouldn't want the word "spastic" appearing in a game or else they might need to have another recall. Good thing too, someone could have died!

Mista Smegheneghan

that's what i've been thinking about, DanGale. either release the english version in the UK as well as Australia and the US, or do a worldwide release.

and, while i'm reluctant to move, i'm very tempted to do so by the amount of CHEAP games they have in the US.
