Smash Bros. Brawl Euro date

Late June. Plus lots of other Nintendo dates.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl will be released on 27th June in Europe, Nintendo said today.

Having puffed out its chest about Wii hardware and software sales and announced European WiiWare details this morning, Nintendo has also issued a bunch of release dates and SSBB was among them.

At a glance, there's nothing massively new and fascinating elsewhere on the list (and indeed some of it is slightly less detailed information than what we already have - we know Boom Blox is out on 9th May, for instance, whereas this list just says May), but there are a few unknown quantities tucked away in its depths.

Family Ski, for instance, is down as 13th June, and Cooking Guide: Can't Decide What to Eat? from Nintendo claims to be out in June as well.
