For those who missed the radical headline from 'DTOID' Jim Sterling... It was unveiled by Reggie that Super Smash Bros, yes, would be delayed untill Fall for our friends out in Europe. Nintendo delaying a game in Europe? No way! Please...
Jim, if Animal Crossing wasn't enough of an indicator for you... Nintendo generally needs to translate thier games before they put it out on the market. That means, to all the little countries in Europe... not just the English UK. Yes it's unfortunate that Smash is delayed and we all know how that feels now. I hate to point out the fucking obvious but your logic and many of the comments simply doesn't make very much sense.
So let me get this straight... Reggie, President of Nintendo AMERICA 'laughed' at the Europian gamer by delaying the game... So what did you do? "Well, fuck you Nintendo- I'm not buying a Wii system ever again!... you delayed a Nintendo game that I loved SO much... guess I wont ever have it!........? (well, maybe I will once it actually comes out and I can't resist temptation, DAMN Nintendo.)"
AND YES, you can mod your Wii... but the firmware is updated constantly, so good luck with that. But hey, if managed to get around all that, Buy that Wii and that mod chip for 50 bucks! After all that, fuck, you deserve it. You shouldn't hate them because of fucking marketing/localization decisions, because like in all Nintendo stories generally, the good outweighs the bad. That's why the fanbase supports them.
Bottom line, the very idea that this game even exist is beyond words and complement, people should really not complain that hard for a simple delay ultimately. Yes, it DOES suck for the Europian market but it WILL come out and this bullshit will be long forgotten ultimately. I pitty the people that believe they are the nails holding up the Wii sucess, selling there Wii's and Nintendo support and 'somehow' 'sticking it to the man' by starving themselves from perhaps one of the greatest gaming experiences ever: You Mr. hardcores/Nintendo gamers are only 33% (at best) of the Wii's base- Remember that.

Smash Bros could be translated in someones lunch break.
Unless you live in Europe you can never understand how much Nintendo have shit all over us the past 20 years.
Basically what I'm getting at, eventually... after this fall season is all said and done... we're all going to be enjoying the game for the game instead of bitching about superficial release dates.
I will have Smash Bros a few days after the US release so i am okay.
I also work in a game store, and i have seen first hand how much people care about how much the average consumer cares about how Nintendo treat Europe.
THEY DONT!
Seriously i wish i was like them. They live in there own perfect videogaming bubbles where shit tastes like candyfloss. They look at all the shovelware, and they see a cool new gaming experience.
Seriously if Smash Bros never even came out in Europe most of the Wii owners wouldnt even know it existed and it wouldnt matter.
But alas i am one of those idiots that care too much like all of you sexy bastards reading Dtoid :(
Also, you know how much the world hates us Americans? At least you don't have to be so close to those FUCKING CALIFORNIANS!!! They are pieces of shit up on their high pedestals. I hope their egos can be used as a flotation devices cause I hope they drown in the fucking ocean!
One more thing, while I was playing COD4, some asshole Brit told me to STFU and called me a stupid American. I replied by saying I was Canadian and he Immediately shut up. I asked him why he hated Americans so much and he went on a rant about how we talk too much, damn hypocrite. Well I've run out of things to rant about and I should probably goto bed anyways since I have shit to do tomorrow. I hope someone is still reading this because as they throw away their time on this site, I'm stealing all the condiments from their fridge. "Oh, well I don't really need condiments anyways" you say, but when you run out of cheese and you want some zing with your sandwich, you're going to look at your bare fridge and then I'll be laughing, unless of course you live in walking distance of the grocery store. I hope it's raining outside.

Translation should NOT be an issue! The "little" countries other than the English UK in Europe you're refering to is France, Germany, Spain and Italy. While the other 41 countries are fine with the English languaged version.
And it shouldnt take 2-6 months just to translate a frickin game! And certainly should NOT in SSBB's case!
When 360 owners get simoultaneous game releases worldwide in 10+ different languages, then what the hell is Nintendo's problem? With such an anticipated release as SSBB you'd expect that Nintendo put more work into getting it out right away! Especially when there's barely anything else playable on the Wii!
Also the waiting just causes us to loose exitement over the game. I can actually feel some of that effect now just by the fact that Japan has had SSBB a couple of weeks now, and knowing that we wont get it before in a couple of months.
And considering a numerous amount of content have been spoiled to me during that time (characters and stages), I believe that when the game comes out I will have nothing to be surprised over.
You might have been shat on a lot too, but you still need to go a long way if you want to join our club.
The Incredible Edible Egg: Bit random. Actually, I love America and thier constitution but I HATE the Neoconservitive govourment it harbours now.
