Family Ski, for instance, is down as 13th June
Did this not strike them as a slightly odd time to be releasing a ski game? |

I honestly have to say I've lost interest. They've taken far too long releasing this game, it's already old hat, we know practically everything about it and I've already played it from people who've imported. With everything else coming out this year, I'm no longer going to bother getting it, I'll wait until I can find it cheap.

"Sorry Nintendo, I won't have time to play any of these games, I'll be too busy playing the ps3 exclusive next-gen first person shooter HAZE"
BiscuitBase, were you paid by Sony to write that or something? I mean, come on, the way you wrote sounds like you're quoting a press release or something... Besides, we don't even know how good Haze is gonna be (don't get me wrong, I'm a Free Radical fan and when it comes to PC I'll probably pick it up) whereas Smash IS amazing (having played an import at a friend's). This date is after my exams, which is good for me. Something to look forward to (if it had come out earlier it would only have distracted from revision). |

Right then, just to jump on the bandwagon and say Nintendo are cocks. Slightly early Mariokart and Wii Fit doesn't make up for a game being this late, especially when the translation was already done. There's no reason whatsoever for there to be more than a month's difference between US and UK releases, and I'd also say the translation monkeys should work as the title's developed to make worldwide simulataneous (or within weeks) releases standard. Surely it buggers up sales as no-one is as excited by a game that's already lost its buzz of novelty.
That said I've still got a lazy lob on, I fucking love Smash Bros. You can poke your Haze up your arse biscuitboy. |

Only when you read my posts in other threads will you comprehend the glistening globs of sarcasm dripping off what I posted above.

I don't have a Wii just now, but I'm pretty sure I will buy one for Smash (and Mario Kart) this summer. I'm as insulted as everyone else by the ridiculous delay but... I love Smash. I played it a lot on the Gamecube in Uni with coursemates and now we're not there we're all wanting to keep playing online.

...well, that's just perfect. One of the main reasons I've been so impatient for the Smash Bros. release date is because I'm in my final year at uni right now, and I really want a chance to play Brawl with my flatmates before we all go out separate ways. I waited, and waited, and FINALLY, we've got the date. 27th of June: the exact day I move out.
Good to have the Euro date, finally, no doubt, but curiously it's the thing that's finally convinced me to take the plunge with importing. :P |

"Whats with the Q1 2008 ones?"
They probably mean the first quarter of the financial year '08/'09, which would be in May, June or July. |

WHERE THE HELL'S OKAMI?!
That and Lego Indiana Jones were the only games I wanted between now and some decent announcements! |

Can everyone hear that sound? The trumpets! Now we've been given a official date we just have to wait for 2 delays like the USA and Japan ended up with putting us back to 5/12 but for the time being at last here in Europe the Nintendo fans have something to smile about.

"It's a little surreal after having done the whole FreeLoader..." /screeches to a halt, goes to play.com, orders a copy Cya Nintendo Europe, I'm outta here (again). Was waiting for that. Woot, apparently it even works on some US GC games when used with the Wii. Nice work Codejunkies. http://uk.codejunkies.com/Products/Wii-F... |

"They probably mean the first quarter of the financial year '08/'09, which would be in May, June or July." I doubt it. For a start it is May, June and July in the UK. For a lot of the EU (Nintendo is in Germany) the financial and calendar year are the same now. Previously Q1 2008 would have started in October 2007 for most (IIRC). Q1 is gone, unless this is their way of covering their asses; if you don't specify what Q1 is and no-one can ever accuse you of slipping. :) Edit: It appears I might be talking out my ass about the German fiscal year being the same as the calendar year, apologies if I am.

I disagree, although I love my freeloader :D Unless of course you're the kind of stupid person who ends up getting steeped in hype and expects things that will never happen. If you're like that, you're only gonna enjoy games that come out of the blue... |

i would have imported a copy along with a Freeloader disk but was put off with reports of the disc trouble people were having, plus Ninty warned people that if they imported the game and their Wii broke as a result then they wouldnt fix the console :/
