Well, I guess I'll buy No More Heroes now, since Brawl got delayed. That should keep me good until March 9. I HOPE!!!

i went way overboard...ok...how? i was telling Mana to breathe, take a deep breath...isn't that how you're supposed to get someone to relax a little bit? so they're not throwing things across the room, smashing a computer screen, etc etc?

and yes, i do believe that some people are acting like children; its my opinion on the reactions that this delay has been getting, and it's valid. it's a videogame, not something that their lives depend on. when i first started reading this thread, i thought of that little kid that wants that new toy, but his parents take it away from him before he can open the box and tell him he has to wait until christmas. it's an itch in the pants that you can't get rid of, but there's nothing you can do about it. no sense getting worked up about it, you know? probably not, cause we don't see eye-to-eye... but i don't believe that someone should be so worked up about it. did you SEE what was said when someone suggested the delay when dates changed in some stores? did you see the flat out rejection of it and flaming on some sites for even suggesting the delay? i can only imagine what they're like now that the delay has been confirmed on the dojo. yes, i understand the anticipation is killing, and yes i understand that people are mad at yet another delay...but if you know that Sakurai (and Nintendo) hasn't been good with keeping release dates, then you should have at least been prepared for this. i think an "ugh, another delay? *facepalm*" is a more reasonable reaction than "well, since theres ANOTHER delay there better be an addition of a new character or something special to make up for it." and "im gonna go hurt something now." disappointment, understood; anger, flaming, and the looking for something to make up for the delay, not really understood. considering the fact that they only delayed the game a week, i don't think it's that big of a deal. it's certainly better than a delay of a few months again, or the complete failure of abandonment.

don't forget that a few members have stated that this is "just a fighting game." if it's just a fighting game, why get so worked up about it? i understand that the PAL users are always the ones getting hurt by this and i don't fully understand their pain, but honestly if they don't want to wait for their version of anything Nintendo, they should do like LMX said and learn to either import or mod their Wii.

Ok, I had a lot of fun reading that. Yes, I was upset but I have since calmed down and was just having a bit of fun at the same time. Sure, I'm pissed off about the delay but this is Nintendo we're talking about. They've done it so many times before that you have to expect it. Don't worry, I'm not going on a murdering spree anytime soon. It was mostly just me having fun. The truth is I read about the delay, was pissed for about 5 minutes then calmed down and just let it go. It's no biggie, life will go on and it will eventually be released. Sure, I'd love to have it now but I can't so, so be it. I don't really get that angry about anything much except for being called "childish". As a gamer you should know that all gamers are ridiculed by nongamers and are called "childish" for playing such games and not being an actual child. Like I said, I was just having fun with my post and nothing more.

I think the complaints are a bit justified. Both of these delays were announced with little explanation with a sort of "Screw you all" attitude. If they could just eek out a tiny bit of information, just a simple reason, such as "We decided to add something else in" would that not make us a little bit more accepting? IS THAT SO HARD?! I'm going to be wiiping for a long time tonight.

okay i think it's been on your high horse long enough, it's to come down.

we've all done our share of "acting like children," so there's no need of that. like Mana said ppl were mad for about 10 minutes tops, and in those then 10 minutes, wo ppl vented, so you're trying to out them down for it? come on now.

the "real' reason brawl was delayed again.

Makes sense. Pretty much nintendo's fault. They wait til the last minute to advertise the important games. Prime example would be Metroid Prime 3. The preview channel came out of no where and wasn't even interesting at the very least.

Whoa whoa whoa... people have a right to get angry over a delay. It's a delay. Hell, the whole WORD is bad. It's meant to be used in a negative sense. If people want to vent their anger by pressing the CAPS LOCK button, or by by pressing shift + 1, or even tossing things, it's their right. Whether it's a game or not everyone's opinions and reactions are justified. If this was actually my computer I would have pushed over the moniter. I'm tired of it being delayed. Plain and simple. In no way am I acting "childish" for expressing my distaste for Nintendo's/Sakurai's decision. The difference between a kid pouting for a toy, and me, is I payed for my toy, and now the briefcases are telling me to wait longer.

They're chastised for not holding a solid release date. Is it wrong to be angry over a delay? Did I miss the memo?

I think they should set later release dates to allow themselves more time without disappointing gamers; because this is just inexcusable. There's no good reason for this. Or they could follow examples from studios like Blizzard where, "It's done when it's done." At least they don't hafta worry about disappointing anybody that way.

I think I'm the only person who didn't get that mad..even though I was in denial for a bit, but the reason its being pushed back is because of Advertisement and sales, is BS.

Anyway..Lost Odyssey Feb 12th.

GETTING IT FIRST DAI.

This reason for a delay is just pafetic. Nintendo should of known that they need to advertise the damn game. Maybe Nintendo thought the game was going to sell better than it actually is? At the end of the day it tends to be the casual gamers buying Wii, so not all casual gamers see Smash Bros and think "OMG I NEED THAT GAME". They should of seen this coming. Although this doesn't really effect me, im still a little angry at Nintendo for their "reasons".

This goes back to my rant on the Wii. Brawl, a flagship title, isn't getting the kind of attention they wanted. It shows that the sales numbers are inflated by people who aren't in the traditional Nintendo demographic. It's a really bad sign, and it's quite obvious that if Nintendo doesn't make money off of this, they'll gladly abandon it and aid the shovelware party crap that sells oh so well.

NMH should have way better sales now

The fact is in that time no real new content can be added in a week for the Japanese release, so the reasoning has to be somewhat technical.

The Preview channel was a neat idea and I liked. The delay sucks, but I'll manage. But Nintendo should have started promotion for a long time ago for Brawl.

i once said, "nintedo wont delay brawl again, they arent that stupid" correction... they r that stupid. and to delay ours a month and theirs a week? wtf i wish i could curse right now. how i wish i could curse

*runs out*
*grabs razor*
*slits wrists*

i hate my life!

Holy overreaction Batman! Some of you guys get your hopes up way to high and mistakenly take release dates as the gospel truth. The sad truth is nowadays you can pretty much name any major release in the past 2 years or in the next 2 years and it was/is/will be delayed. Start expecting delays rather than loathing them, and you will be less disappointed.

With SSBB, we've waited 6 years, what's one more month? Nintendo screwed up though: instead of giving a specific February release date they should have said "Q1 2008" or something.

Oh and I hate to say that I told you so but...http://www.wiiloaded.com/Another-delay-f...-13599-wii

Nice, Cloud

For god sake, it's a one month delay. That's nothing.

PAL gets a lot worse and what about Japan, they still haven't got metroid.

Uh... who's waited 6 years?

PAL gamers don't have a release date, therefore they don't have a delay. I think my first post is how every region should/will/has react(ed).

I wasn't talking about brawl release in Europe. I just saying we have to sit through several months before we get an already released game, America waits one month and they scream?

1 day delay in Japan = 1 month delay in US = 1 year delay in PAL? xD

Nintendo, successes at failing.
