No European Smash Bros. Brawl Until Q3 2008

December 6, 2007 10:42 AM

A recently-issued list of Q1 and Q2 2008 releases from Nintendo of Europe lacks any mention of the highly anticipated Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii), suggesting the mascot fighting title won't arrive in Euro-land until the second half of next year.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl is currently slated to hit Japan on January 28, with the North American version following on February 10.

Fortunately, the delayed European release of Smash Bros. Brawl does not appear to set a new precedent for all Nintendo-published games in the territory. The Euro rendition of Mario Kart Wii is listed as a Q2 release, coinciding with Nintendo of America's promise of a spring release in North America.

      It's sort of cold in Sweden too... Although now I live almost as far to the south in Sweden as possible, so it's not quite as cold anymore... But still. :(

    I still don't understand why in this day and age we still get screwed over. Yes, we have a few more languages.. it isn't THAT big of a deal tho .. seriously, nearly everyone speaks fucking English.. it's the "universal language" for fucks sake.
