Nintendo have just announced at their Fall Conference that Smash Bros. Brawl has been delayed in Japan until early 2008. January 24, to be exact. No word on whether that means the North American release has also been delayed, but we'll update you on that as soon as we hear back from Nintendo.

Don't expect to see it in America during our Holiday Season.

just above the video for the new brawl video (not sonic video) it says theres still more development needed and they hope to keep it on track. then still on the brawl website the release date says TBD. WHY MUST THIS HAPPEN, TO RUIN SUCH A GOOD DAY

They key words are "for Japan".  

[Amazing-Ness287]

i dont think theyd release it here first, at least not by a whole month. the japanese might just be crazy enough to boycott it or something.

It's entirely possible that the North America release date will remain the same.
It wouldn't be the first time America recieved a Nintendo product before Japan did.
Remember the DS!

I'd think it would be to every advantage
if the game were released before the holiday season.
Y'know? It only makes sense.

Sorry to say this, but it isn't.... As a matter of fact, it's now two months and a week later now...

George Harrison opened Nintendo's media event in San Francisco today with confirmation on the new release date for Super Smash Bros. Brawl, recently delayed for Japan. According to George, the new North American ship date for the Wii brawler is now February 10, 2008. George put a positive spin on the post holiday bump, simply saying the developers needed more time. I'll be playing it in just a few minutes, so expect first hands-on impressions soon.

wasnt the date december 3?  

[General Lea]

Yes, and by my information it still will be. If it was true, then it'd already be on Smashbros.com, which is the official site.

Dang... so much for happy holidays...

Today I have some good news and some bad news. Let's get the bad part out of the way first, shall we?

As many of you may have already heard, we have had to delay the launch of Super Smash Bros. Brawl by just a little bit—it will now be launching on February 10th in the Americas. I know that many of you will be disappointed by this news, but please understand that the extra development time will enable us to make the game the best it can be. It is my earnest hope that you will all be enjoying this game for many years, and we are all working very hard toward that goal.

Phew. Now for some good news to tide you over.

The forthcoming E for All event will be held at the Los Angeles Convention Center beginning October 18.

And it appears that this event will display the first ever public playable version of Super Smash Bros. Brawl! I am planning on having people play the game—but with limited character selection.

The problem is Sonic. What to do... I suppose if we’re going to all this trouble, perhaps we should make him playable.

Oh, yes. And for those of you who come to play, please remember—you tap the Control Stick to do Smash attacks.

Have fun!

We have to wait even longer.....  

[Run The Jewels]

I hope the wait is Necessary...

 

[General Lea]

Well, screw the happy holidays and everyone that wanted this game.... scream stressed

Its said that it may come out in February here in the U.S. T.T I am so mad! I was looking forward to playing that over Winter Break as well. But I guess since Super Mario Galaxy os coming out soon I will have something to wipe my tears away....
