Bad news for those waiting it out for Super Smash Bros Brawl in the US, as it has been pushed back a month from its past release date. The game is now slated for a March 9 release due to it needing more tweaks. Here is Nintendo America’s statement regarding the delay:
“The launch date for Super Smash Bros. Brawl has shifted a few weeks to March 9. The development is taking slightly longer than expected. As we’re sure you have seen on the Dojo site (www.SmashBros.com), the game contains an unprecedented number of characters, options and experiences. Be sure to keep an eye on the Dojo site for the latest information.”
Those lucky Japanese are on track for a January 29th release, while the UK still have no idea when they will be getting theirs.

It’s weird enough having Sonic in Super Smash Bros Brawl, but having both Sonic and Mario in a game developed by Sega where they don’t kick the crap out of each other is just blasphemous. Apart from the obvious moral outrage we haven’t got much apart from ambivalent feelings towards Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. Unless they pull out something massive that isn’t in the video it looks like it’ll be a little dull. But do check out the above trailer for the DS version of the game to form your own (perhaps more optimistic) opinion.

Nintendo hate Europe and other PAL territories. Don’t believe me? Maybe the next bit of news I’m about to tell you will change that. While those in North America will be cuddling up to Super Smash Bros. Brawl come February 10th, the folks in Europe will be waiting until <em>at least</em> July.
Videogamer.com contacted Nintendo sure that there was some mistake and received this curt reply:
“If the game is not listed on the schedule up until the end of Q2 it is currently not due out until after that time.”
Come on Nintendo, your mascot is Italian, show some respect.
