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*

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?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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.
