Smash Bros. Delayed Until March 9th

After several delays already, Next Generation is reporting that the much-anticipated Wii title Super Smash Bros. Brawl has been pushed back yet again to early March. "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 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."

Not an "unprecedented" number of chars

Currently there are 24 known characters for SSBB. Previous game had 25. [/nitpick]

For some reason I seemed to be thinking it was coming out in March anyways... I still need to preorder a copy if/when that's possible.

You assume everthing has been revealed, I assume there will be another 8+ secret characters as with Melee.

the major short-coming of the Wii is that it does not have a hard drive

What you talkin' bout Willis? It DOES HAVE MEMORY Only 512 and most of that is used for downloads from the Wii Shop. But, I agree. If you rush a product with the idea of "we'll just patch it later" that's just bad programming. I mean WHO who do THAT?

I suppose we should get off your lawn now?

You know what? I don't particularly care if you approve, I think the story belongs (and apparently I'm not alone). We're only talking about one of the most hotly anticipated Wii games which is ever going to come out here, after all. And if you have a problem with it... it's not even on the main page, it's in the games section. So, if you have such a problem with seeing it (your loss), I suggest you take Games stories off your front page, because that's what the section is for. You know, news about (gasp) games.

Good God, people will whine about anything.
