It looks like the rumors were true. It’s odd, if they were going to delay a game, they would usually tell us before now, and they wouldn’t delay it for only a couple additional weeks. Sounds like they must have found a bug way late in the testing process or something like that.
The new release dates are:
Japan - January 31st, 2008
America - March 9th, 2008

Methinks you made a typo. Shouldn’t that be January 31st in Japan? Or maybe you know something we don’t…
Why the 2 month delay? Smash Bros is not a japanese language intense game. Mr. Krystal will this interfere with your in person interview with the Assault voice actress with answering brawl questions?
Well, bugger. Ha! Get it? “Bug?” “Bugger?” Yeah. I’m done. *Shoots self.*
Uh…It should be January 31st, not 1st.
What?! *dies*
S.Weltzin you make me lol =]
That sucks, if it’s march 9th for US I’m probably gonna be waiting ages here in the uk =[
Fixed the date, thanks. I kept messing up the dates everywhere I posted it for some reason.
@Ksathra
It might mess up the interview with Alésia Glidewell, but I’m not sure. I will be contacting her in a few days, so we’ll see.
UK is ‘not before July’… So yeah.
please, will someone tell me when the thing will have a date set in stone… D:
oh well, if it comes out in japan at the end of the month, at least I have a new date to look forward to. Hope to play everyone here in March.
I told my friend…. he has pre-ordered the game….. he almost died!!!!!!
~~~~~P.S.Why is it released 2 months later in da us!!!!!!
That is what I am wondering. It doesn’t take 2 months to translate simple game menus which chances the chances are they are already in english in the JPN version. I smell 2004 all over again when Nintendo pulled this on Assault when the game was finished they held it back till Feb of 2005 because of MP2 snd another Mario Party game and RE4. I personally don’t see why a finished product should be held back 2 more months.
