Delays Galore for Europe.

[Neversoft]

Mario Kart Wii has been delayed from a Q1 release, to a Q2 release.

No Super Smash Bros Brawl European release date was ever given out, and it still hasn't... but it's been confirmed to not be released in Europe until AFTER June 2008. http://www.videogamer.com/news/06-12-2007-7051.html

Thats a whole 5+ months after America and 6+ months after Japan.

THANKS NINTENDO! :@

I'm not too bothered about SSBB because I doubt it's far off but Q1-Q2 for Mario Kart is just insane..I assume that's going by the American fiscal year?

Doubt it's far off? Huh? Dude, we all thought it was going to be released in February, but now its released after June!

You have just reminded me about fiscal years, thank you! I'm not sure if it's going by fiscal years or not though.

I donno I never looked up for the release date for SSBB I just loved the look of the game xD

I would assume it's going by fiscal because most developers/publishers do, just gotta figure out what countrys xD if it's Americas then it's Q1 now and Q2 is Jan till March
I donno about any other countries though..

Yeah, I only know about America's. Do other countries even do fiscal years? :S

Yea England (I think maybe the whole of Europe) does but it's at a different time, I think it starts like April 2nd and ends April 1st or something,

[Hatake Kakashi]

Medal Of Honour Heroes 2 has also been delayed till February 8th 2008

Fiscal years don't count in the UK.

And SSBB is more likely to be released in Feb than Jun tbh, cause otherwise, Nintendo will cash in left [with the shortages, they'll be sorted in feb/mar]

[Neil]

Fiscal years don't count in the UK.

Yes they do, the UK has it's own fiscal year set up aswell?

Im sure people will just buy it from abroard and select the english language on the language selection part?

If only it were that easy. :rolleyes_

[Neil]

Yea, I know alot of DS games don't let you select languages so it isn't always the right solution, I'm not sure if Wii games are the same but it wouldn't surprise me

[Alkaz]

:( Aww, maybe a translation book? Or buy the american version, most words would be the same?

[Smits]

Thats not good though most people prefer to use English games to be safe.

American games won't work on English Wii's.

Yeah, it's not possible to play a game from American on an English Wii, unless you have it chipped.

[Oni]

Awwww man I guess me and you will have to battle abit later eh chris.

[KnuxIBF]

Q1 is Jan-Mar isn't it?

[Neil]

To be honest I think they need to allow you to change the languages because not everyone that lives in England/Japan/America/Any others can actually speak those languages, some people living in England might only speak French or something

Edit - No that's Q2 for America (which is what I think most game developers go by)

[Niall!]

Thats it.

Im going to go and commit suicide.

SSBB AFTER JUNE? WHAT THE ****?

[Neil]

o.O Grow up?

[Niall!]

o.O Grow up?

I was joking :rolleyes:

I wouldn't do anything like that over a game.
Im not actually that annoyed, I want sonic riders 2 more than that now.

[PaulMacC]

omg, no.

I hope they invent a freeloader before then because Im buying it and Brawl.

[Neversoft]

Just found this.

Nintendo say that Q2 and beyond dates (apart from Mario Kart) have not been finalised or confirmed.

We still have a chance of an earlier release! But it's unlikly. :(

[lew!]

That sucks, Glad im in UK! :p

[Stitch]

Aw man i can't even get SSBB for my birthday :(

[GommeInc]

I really can't see them releasing 6 months after America, how can they delay it that much with a proper explaination? Converting the game for use in Europe does not take that long...

Oh well, I'm being patient now, I can be patient still.

[Neversoft]

Erm... UK is Europe...

Well other sites have reported on it aswell.
http://www.n4g.com/wii/News-90679.aspx

And the date on Wikipedia has been changed from Early 2008 to TBA 2008.
I hate to say this so much, but I think it's true.

However, I'm still wainting for a major gaming website to announce it.

[Cryptoo]

aw. I CAN'T AIT FOR IT
anyway :)

[Neil]

He's probably one of those people that thinks the UK isn't part of Europe because we don't use the Euro :rolleyes:
