Visitors to the Smash DOJO today are in for some bad news. Super Smash Bros. Brawl has been delayed in both America and Japan:
Due to delays in the completion of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, we’ve had to change the release date of the game to Sunday, March 9th.
I deeply apologize to the people who have looked forward to playing the game for so long and ask that you hold on just a little longer. Thank you for your patience.
Rumors were flying around all over the place in the past week about the delay and now it's official. The Japanese version has also been pushed back to the 31st of this month as well. The European version is still set for when Hell freezes over.
A month delay isn't too bad, but it still sad to hear this. At least I'll have more time to find a Wii now. How do you all feel about the delay?
[Thanks to Lark Ohiya for the heads up!]

SAKURAIIIII!!!!
ditto...
Nah, I've calmed down. Hey CTZ, I noticed you removed the "breaking news" part of the title? Butt Whhhhyyyyy.............
Nintendo gamers are used to this.The first-party titles are truly few and far between.
Oh well, at least we can learn more about the game once it is released in Japan.
...
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK. CUNT SHIT PISS ASSHOLE COCKGOBLIN DAMN HELL BITCH.
I knew someone would post the usual "Darthvader-noooo!" picture
GJ!
Furthermore, NOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO!!!
Well, maybe if Rooo brings his Wiii to Japan.
Now hearing this one, i'm happy and pissed. Happy cause more time for DMC4 and DW6 when it hits. Pissed cause this crap has been pushed back for the 3rd time. I'm getting quite tired of these delays....
I mean...dammit Nintendo!
and I agree with Koobert. work on that fucking wifi mode. it's about as stale as cold cookies.
sorry, i just find it funny you guys whining over the release date. At least you have one, so don't bitch :D
What? Like there isn't gonna be an english language option for the menu screens, right?
"A week for them = a month for us" is some bogus logic. I propose that there's a connection between this and the events of March 9, 1945, in which American B-29 bombers attacked Tokyo, Japan with incendiary bombs.
Coincidence, or revenge?
Happy Birthday indeed.
I'll just keep telling myself it's so they can add Mega Man to the roster. YEAH! That's it! They just need to add to the roster...the roster...the roster...
Or think of those poor people still waiting on Duke Nukem Forever. Those poor, poor people.
The old unofficial Nintendo motto still stands.
"If it's coming at ALL, that's enough."
Really, we're used to it by now.
Then they should stop street dating their shit. It's bad for business. Like scheduled tournaments.
jk, lololol.
Be cool if that was the reason, though.
Ohhh, the tears of unfathomable sadness, mmm, yummy… yummy you guys!

If it is, my friend's got it torrenting right now. He ran it through a Hex Editor and confirmed that it seems to meet the requirements (the regional setting, the precise file size, etc.)
I'll post something tomorrow once he has it running.
