Nintendo refuses to announce Brawl's PAL release date !

Gothic Girl | January 16, 2008 | News | Wii 
Yet more bad news about Super Smash Bros Brawl's release date. Not only has the game been delayed in America (NA fans must now wait until early March to get their hands on Brawl), but Nintendo is also refusing to reveal a PAL release date, leaving European and Australian gamers completely in the dark.
"No European date has ever been announced for Smash Bros", said a Nintendo spokesperson today. Ouch!
Nintendo UK has refused to comment on whether the recent official delay of Super Smash Bros. Brawl in Japan and the US will impact on the game's as yet unannounced European release.

Earlier today we reported on word from Nintendo that the North American release of Super Smash Bros. Brawl for Wii will now be on March 9, a month later than the previously confirmed February 10 date.

Currently the game is still without a European release date and was missing from Nintendo Europe's most recent release schedule, leading to speculation that it won't make it out in Europe until after June 2008.

When asked whether the recent US and Japan delay would have any impact on an EU release, a Nintendo UK spokesperson simply stated that "no European date has ever been announced for Smash Bros", leaving European fans in the dark over one of 2008's most anticipated games.

    We were going to be waiting ages for it anyway so this doesn't come as that much of a surprise.

      Haven't I already explained it to you? The further they delay, the better it might possibly be. And honestly, it hasn't even been released in Japan yet. Cool your engines, and get back in line.

        Sadly, I doubt a week delay in Japan will effect anything.

        I laughed at all the Europeans/Aussies who laughed at us for having the game delayed, and now this. Priceless.
