E3: Smash Bros. Wii dated News • News • Eurogamer.net

News Wii

December in US.

Nintendo has finally confirmed a solid date for Super Smash Bros. Brawl on Wii.

US boss Reggie Fils-Aime spilled the beans at the company's E3 conference earlier today, stamping a 3rd December release on the American version of the game.

Sadly the tiny Euro-flag we were waving [Union, surely? - Patriotic Ed] was ignored, and we can only hope it won't appear here too much further down the line.

It was a rather subdued conference by Nintendo in some respects, and even a pledge that this Smash Bros. would be "the Best Smash Bros. by far," was met by muted applause.

The biggest laugh of the morning came when Miyamoto calculated Reggie's Body Mass Index using the flashy new Wii Fit game. "Overweight," declared the fancy new title.

I can't imagine there would be much to translate in the game, so they cant use that excuse

Paper Mario is coming about 6 months late here so I'm expecting SSB June 08.

Paper Mario was late, but on the other hand, we got Mario Strikers first. Japan gets it last.
Here's hoping out of SMG, MP3 and SSBB, two make it over before the end of the year.

So what do you, shake the Wiimote randomly instead of mashing buttons randomly? It's a revolution!

wopr-lower-case: epic fail. you wouldn't last 5 seconds against an experienced SSBM player. I really can't fucking stand it when people pretend SSBM is a button masher. It's not. Soul Calibur may be deeper, but it's actually a lot more button mash-friendly than Smash.

I've been so depressed about this lately, I hope they don't do a Paper Mario/Trauma Center and bring it out a year later, heck, we haven't even got Pokemon Wii/DS yet.
Knowing our luck, we will, damn multi-lingual.,.

Personally - smash bros has little or no text to convert, so i'd expect it in europe pre-chrimble.

If they have problems hitting that date - then there will be no reason to release before easter (business quarters and all that)
