It seems like all the rumors are correct after all. The official Smash Bros. DOJO! website has just been updated informing all awaiting Nintendo Wii owners that Super Smash Bros. Brawl has been delayed.

Video game concept designer Masahiro Sakurai, the man responsible for Brawl from Sora Ltd., posted the following explanation:


Due to delays in the completion of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, we’ve had to change the release date of the game to Sunday, March 9th. I deeply apologize to the people who have looked forward to playing the game for so long and ask that you hold on just a little longer. Thank you for your patience.


To compensate, Smash Bros. DOJO! has also posted another round of updates for the game. This time, we get to know more about the Stage simply known as the Distant Planet. Basically, this is where Captain Olimar was forced to make an emergency landing.

The flooring of the middle of the stage is made out of vines and is very bouncy. Aside from that, this planet is also home to Pellet Posies which drop numbered pellets. These, then, can be thrown into a nearby Onion to obtain items.

Distant Planet also gets visited by torrential rains. When this occurs, we highly suggest that you stay away from the hill on the left as it gets very treacherous. There are also creatures willing to gobble you up waiting around this particular stage.

That's about it for now for Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Again, the new release date for this Nintendo Wii exclusive is no longer in February but on March 9.

The pikmin stage look pretty awsome. Its simple and looks graphically pretty awsome. The background and the watereffects add a nice touch.

" this just means the game is going to be three times better then it was going to be before"

It was only delayed a week in Japan. That really isn't enough time to make any sizable changes to the game, let alone make it three times better.

 » Well

I'm disappointed, but I'm not that mad. Besides there's other stuff. Like enjoying the updates, saving up for the 80GB PS3 and playing other interesting games.

 » Hopefully this is the last delay.

This delay is probably only there to produce more copies for the US. Consequently, this will give the Japanese a whole month to get better than us.

P.S. I don't care about UK and Australia, don't give me your guilt trip

Yes, the delay does suck.


BUT, Sheik is in it! I'm pretty happy.

I don't think they'd release a demo just one month before the game comes out. At this point I just want to get my hands on the actual game.
