Super Smash Bros Brawl DELAYED!

[Q]

http://torquedorks.com/2007/10...te-delayed-until-2008/

Said they 'needed to work on it some more'

 

[Judgement]

Knowing the quality of the games Nintendo puts out, I'm sure it was needed and will be worth the wait. I'm still gonna hold off on buying a Wii though.

 

[nakedfrog]

My initial reaction is "Boooo-urns!" but then upon actual thought, yeah, I'd rather it be finished before they ship it.

Oh well, I guess all those hi-def graphics and next-gen game engines add more to the development time. Plus, we're dealing with brand-new hardware that 3rd-party devs just don't know how to code for.

Oh wait...

no, actually they just have a reputation near unto starcraft to hold up to, and they don't want to screw it up.

And yet it's still kicking the sales charts asses.

The gamespot preview said the controls were not very good, but its still SSMB

"Our initial impressions are: It's Smash Brothers, and it's fun. Nevertheless, the jury is still out on the two control schemes; currently we're not thrilled with either option"

Interesting..

Thats not good... I hope the Gamecube controller allows controls similar to Melee. I thought those worked well.

 

[evident]

delays are usually a good thing, just look at starcraft 1, delayed for over 2 years, and look it's a classic

Well, its Blizzard. Starcraft 2 will probably be delayed for like 5 years

ssbb will be THE game for wii (huge smash fan). besides...sonic is confirmed to be in it as of yesterday. combined that with online play (sucky, but its still online nonetheless) and you've got one hell of a game.

delaying the game...i knew it was going to happen. i honestly felt like the december 3rd release date was just a placeholder to keep everyone at E3 happy.

 

[Furyline]

Seems like this is not an official date -- Feb 10 is a Sunday... And Smash site still has TBD for release date. I think they announced a Jan 24? release for Japan, and I hope the release here will not lag too far behind. But whenever it gets released I'll buy it for sure. And I don't think anyone is too surprised at nintendo yet again delaying a high profile game.

edit: nm I guess the date was announced today by nintendo. Bummer because I really wanted to play it during winter break.

They currently list 4 types of control for the final product, supposedly they were only showing off two here...

the 4 being:
wiimote
wiimote + nunchuk
classic controller
gamecube controller

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us...various/various01.html

it even sounds like the gamecube controller could be the recommended controller according to the website

The classic controller has enough buttons that it should be on par with the GC controller. The fact that the press tested the classic controller and didn't like the controls worries me; the GC controller wouldn't be much better.

I am psyched about the online play. Imagine a living room of four people versing another living room!

But yeah if they need to hold off on releasing it to perfect controls, mechanics, etc, it be worth waiting than putting up with a half baked release.

Now where is the official black wii version?

They used a classic and didn't like it? oh man.. I bought one just for SSBB a while back (had a GC to blow). I don't want a gamecube controller. on a side note, I really do wish they'd figure out a way to interface the classic controller to the gamecube games.
