Super Smash Bros. Brawl Delayed

Posted by Zonk on from the omgsonic dept.

Dr. Eggman writes "As feared when it was announced that the Japanese launch was being pushed back to January 24, Nintendo has announced that Super Smash Bros. Brawl has been delayed in North America as well. 1up.com cites the new launch date as February 10th. On the bright side, however, 16-bit era fan's prayers have been answered: Sonic the Hedgehog is officially in the game."

      Actually, my son was very happy that Sonic is now included. He's a big fan of Sonic. I guess we found out who the 16-bit era fan is, then...

    From the article:

    The delay "in no way affects the success of the Wii," said George Harrison, Nintendo's Senior VP of Marketing and Corporate Communication.
    It doesn't affect the success of the Wii as a paperweight, no. But I was actually hoping to play some fucking games on mine.

    Also, I can't help but notice that the old release date announcement has been quietly taken off the official Smash Bros site.

      Yeah I hate it when inaccurate information is taken off of websites to prevent confusion.

    Name me a software product that has ever shipped on time. By on time I mean the original planned release date.

    Duke Nukem Forever. Release date: "When it's done."
