Brawl's Delayed Again (In the mean time...SPOILERS INSIDE!)
Are you looking forward to February 10th, because Brawl will be on shelves? Unfortunately, at the very beginning of the Brawl update page, where the previous push was mentioned, Brawl has been delayed again. The release date has been pushed to March 9th, a Sunday. It isn't that big a difference though, should be fun when it comes out. This can be good or bad, even more updates, but we have to wait longer, what do you guys think?

Re: Brawl's Delayed Again
I'm hoping for another new character. I think Japan will be getting it at the end of February, so atleast we won't have to wait until March before finding out who's on the roster.

Re: Brawl's Delayed Again
Dang it! I cannot believe they delayed again! This is so frustrating!
-
Re: Brawl's Delayed Again
I'm not happy that it's delayed, but I'd rather it was delayed and perfected rather than rushed and flawed. After all, once it's released, the game is what it is - the flaws remain forever. Whereas delays are temporary.
Note that the preceeding does not apply to Duke Nukem Forever...

Re: Brawl's Delayed Again
After Wind Waker, I never complain when Nintendo delays anything.
Then again, it helps when I'm always slightly too poor to actually keep up with new releases on their release date, too (also to own the present consoles myself within 3 years of their release) XD
*ducks and runs*

Yeah, I'm usually like that as well. Most games I pick up a few months/years after release when I happen to have the money.The fact that I actually pre-ordered this game will tell you how obsessed I am with it. I need this game.

Re: Brawl's Delayed Again
*Laughs, and pats Amaster consolingly on the head*
In my opinion, they can take as long s they want to, in order to make this game (as long as it's released within this year). After all, I want this game to be absolute gaming nirvana.
But I'm also a bit annoyed at the delays. I want the game too!
...And dont' fele bad about not having the console right after it's made. I have an INFAMOUS track recod with consoles. I.E. As soon as I get it, it becomes obsolete, or I get it when it's obsolete.
Snes: A year after I got it, the 64 comes out.
64: Bought it from my friend when he bought his Cube
Gamecube: Wii came out a little less than a year later.
The Wii will be the first system I get before it dies.
Or maybe I'm cursed, and the week after I get my Wii, Nintendo's next console will be announced for february of next year...

Re: Brawl's Delayed Again
That's usually the case with me as well. I'm usually at least one generation behind par. At one point, I was like, .. three generations behind par, if not more. I caught up with the 'cube, and now I bought a Wii this past July. Its sole purpose is for Brawl. (And the internet channel.) I've said it before and I'll certainly say it again, I am a Wii Virgin. My first Wii game will be Brawl, and I shall barely require any other game for many many months thereafter. I will be on Brawl nearly every night, happy to accept a match from anybody who would like one. I'll be sitting fairly comfortably in bed with a controller in hand. None shall dislodge me save for an unstable connection. (Which I fear might not be out of the question.)
I don't mind a delay. If it means a better game, they can take all the delays they want. :shrug:
I sort of think of it like eating at a restaurant. The more time you have to look forward to it, the juicier it'll be. Once it's all been said and done, most of the magic is gone, and you're left with a partial husk. Even SSBM has lost a bit of its magic over the many years we've been playing it. Were it not for its easy transportability and such, ... ... well I don't know what I would have done or what the future would've held. The moment you bite into that dinner, some of the magic is lost, because you don't have to wait any more. Once you're done eating, you've got nothing left to wait for and no magnificent glimmer in the near future.
I like that glimmer.

Re: Brawl's Delayed Again
With the addition of Olimar, they have a nice even amount of characters: http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/index.html. I'm surprised Captain Falcon and Ganondorf aren't on the list though. Maybe they'll still be added since there don't see to be as many heavy characters like them. Plus there are two Kirby bad guys - do you think they'll have TWO Kirby bad guys and no Zelda bad guy?
I don't mind the delay - I'd rather let them take some more time to polish the game and get the bugs out.
-
Re: Brawl's Delayed Again
I'm just shrugging this delay off. I don't care WHEN it comes out, so long as it DOES. I'll GLADY wait even 10 years for Brawl, if it means Brawl will come out. The only thing I'd freak out over is if I NEVER got it due to a lack of money. D: But eh. Like THAT'D happen. I'll most likely get it eith 1 or 2 months after it comes out. It all depends on when I move, which will *hopefully* be in *cue dramatic music* March. Sigh... Oh well. I'm looking forward to this game as much as you guys. Maybe.
Oh, and by the way, it REALLY annoys me when people find out Brawl's been delayed, and they freak out as if it's the end of the world or something....like there's absolutely nothing else in this world that matters. >_> *looks at russadwan and Amaster42* (Not saying you annoy me, just saying that's the kind of stuff that does. Except with more "sdufgjdgfdnfbgjdht".)
-
Re: Brawl's Delayed Again
Oh, I'm not freaking out or anything. Just mad and frustrated.
(Just to be technical, Meta-Knight is more of an anti-hero and/or rival than villain. Kirby fanboyism)
-
Re: Brawl's Delayed Again
I don't mind the delay. As far as my situation goes, it gives me more time to find the damn system first. :p
On a related note, some characters have been leaked through a screenshot, those characters being (not officially confirmed) Jigglypuff, Ness, and Lucario. Several doubters stick to the belief that it isn't Ness, but the Pokemon Trainer, despite the fact that the icons are completely different. Plus Nintendo whited out the official movie, so they must've been hiding something.

Re: Brawl's Delayed Again
You know if you wait you might even pay less for the system. By late this year PS3 price cuts are expected because of falling Blu-ray costs which will probably cause price drops from MS and Nintendo. Really, the Wii can't stay at $250 much longer. Esspecially with the 360 at 270$. If that doesn't already make it obvious you are getting screwwed I don't know what will.
I did hear a neat rumor recently though. They say Factor 5 is back to work on the GameCube.. er Wii again. ;) And they say they are making a Kid Icarus game. That would be pretty neat.
Edit: And now there are atleast somewhat credible rumors that we may see a PS3 price cut within the next few weeks. If that's true I can imagine the Wii would have to be close behind. Cause 250$ for a Wii versus 300$ for a PS3?
-
Re: Brawl's Delayed Again
Ugg, I don't want Factor 5 to have anything to do with the next Kid Icarus game.
Seriously, Factor 5 sucks. They had one good series - Rogue Squadran - that they ran into the ground and then blamed Nintendo for their game being shit. Then they leave Nintendo only to make another shitty game and *surprise*, now they're back. Hahaha.
So yeah, they can do whatever they want - just don't touch crap that I might want to otherwise play :P
-
Re: Brawl's Delayed Again
Well, from what I've seen Factor 5 is great at the technical aspects. But they don't always do the best with gameplay/ideas. Rogue Squadron was awesome, just the last one on GC was bogged down by poorly thought out ground/foot missions.

Factor 5 ported Turrican 2 to the Amiga, which automatically makes them exempt from any criticism, ever.

Re: Brawl's Delayed Again
As much as the delay ticks me off, this gives me more time to save up for a Wii and Brawl. Plues, after checking the Dojo for the 1st time since October (when I last used the internet no thanks to my phone company) I am surprised to see who's on the line-up now. And a stage editor? That's sweet. :kitty:

The Wii is still selling out everywhere - Nintendo is not going to lower the price anytime soon. They're not stupid.

Re: Brawl's Delayed Again
You don't think that Wii sales will slow down once the Playstation hits 300$? You do realize, the Wii trend (of sell outs) is running out of steam.

Imagine you're 12 years old and you woke up on christmas morning 2007, all excited to see what Santa left you under the tree. You see it immediatly, a huge box wrapped in thin wrapping paper, as excited as you have ever been in you life, and you excitedly tear away the packagaing...
and you find a PS3 buried in the wrapping paper instead of a 360 or a Wii.
Think about it. You would seriously be the most depressed kid ever. All your friends would have gotten Wii's and 360's are playing Super Mario Galaxy and Halo 3 and actually having fun with their game consoles. Meanwhile, you're sitting in front of the TV watching Ratatouille for the 5th time (except this time it's in HD) trying to fight back bitter, bitter tears of disappointment.
Do you have no soul? Do you hate video games? Do you hate 12 year old kids? Do you?

I hope it slows down just a little. I don't want to have to camp out in front of Toys R us at 4 in the morning at 25 below to get a Wii.
I want one, but I'm not willing to get frostbite for it.
And Alexmax makes a good point. There's not too much point in getting a PS3 at the moment, seeing as how there aren't that many good games for it.

Re: Brawl's Delayed Again
I must say I was really disappointed when I heard about the delay. However, at least it's only a month. Remember, some games get pushed back several months to A YEAR OR MORE. So lets just be happy its not too much of a delay. :D

I dunno, that whole PS3 grill thing is pretty rad.
Also, as far as information-wise about Brawl, no biggie. Its still getting released in Japan in a handful of days, so all the l33t haxx0rz with sour cream and onion modchips will just overload gamefaqs with info. Then everyone will be like "Why the fuck is there a Twisted Metal trophy?" or whatever.
Also, March 9th is a Sunday. I don't work Sundays or Mondays. I win. [actually I won back when I reserved this badboy, but still]

Re: Brawl's Delayed Again
While I agree I think the 360 is the better platform, you can't deny there is a huge Playstation fanboy group. They still want PS3 but can't yet afford it. Really guys, I'm not kidding, there ARE games to PLAY on PS3. Now I know none of you would know that, but trust me there are.
With Wii, you can't possibly think the sell-outs will continue for a full year or more from now. What does Wii have coming that's going to be so amazing this year? The only games I'm aware of are Mario Kart and SSBB that are anywhere soon. Really, when the price gap closes things should change. Or when the people that all wanted Wiis get them, or the people that are buying them for ebay stop getting enough profit from selling them.
The bubble will burst at some point.

Mario Kart? They're making a Mario Kart for the Wii? I have to get that game!

Re: Brawl's Delayed Again
Why wouldn't they be making Mario Kart? :p I know I've seen news about it being in development, but really it was a given. Mario Kart is a hugely successful series for Nintendo.

True. I just didn't know they were making one.
-
Re: Brawl's Delayed Again
So what all games are there to play on PS3? Other than DMC4 and MGS4, I'm really not interested in it at all [unless you we talk about the grill].
I'm not going to buy a PS3 just to try out a new game either. If I've never played it, the only way I can play it is if I either rent it or buy it. Of course that means I'll need to buy a PS3 as well, just to see if I may enjoy a game. No thanks. Sure I could stop by gametrailers, but that doesn't let me play the game.
-
Re: Brawl's Delayed Again
If Wii Fit takes off here like it has in Japan, the Wii might sell out for another year. Plus, as good as Mario and Metroid are (the two big games from Nintendo for 2007), Smash Bros and Mario Kart are even bigger.
-
Re: Brawl's Delayed Again
You know what AGN needs? A Smash Bros. Brawl tournament! We should have one after it comes out. If it ever does.
-
Re: Brawl's Delayed Again
I think that sort of idea has been tried before but fails to work. There's never really enough people here to pull together a tournament.
-
Re: Brawl's Delayed Again
Well this may be a lot easier to do with the new Smash Bros. game. As long as everyone adds any friend codes we post here, all we have to do is name a time and we can try to set it up. I know I would love to participate!

Point 1: I'm sure there ARE good games for the PS3. But I haven't really heard of that many (well...I guess I just don't keep current with the PS3 stuff).
Point 2: I'm sure Demand will slow down eventually. I mean, You can't ALWAYS have a buyer! That being said, I hope it does slow down a LITTLE bit so my options aren't limited to: a) No Wii or b) Camp outside at -25 degrees at 4 am.
And if there ever is a smash tourney on AGN, I hope I will have moved out, and have High speed internet. >_> If I DID go online with my current connection..., I'd be booted in less than a minute, and no one would face me in anything, due to the TERRIBLE lag I'd bring with my crappy Dial up.
