Gamers Evolved

Nintendo may be making a big hit with people now, but if they have any more delays with their products than they are going to find that fame going down the drain …fast! Not only are people not going to be able to get their hands on many Wii’s for Christmas, but now they are going to have to forgo buying the newly anticipated Super Smash Bros. Brawl – which was originally planned for Christmas.

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata originally announced a delay for the Japanese version of the game on Wednesday, which was quickly followed on Thursday by a similar delay for the U.S. version, announced at Nintendo’s fall conference in San Francisco. Super Smash Bros. Brawl will now come out on January 24 in Japan and February 10 in the U.S. Previously, American gamers expected the title on December 3.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl is a fighting game for four players. It brings together characters from various Nintendo franchises – Mario, Princess Zelda, Pikachu – to duke it out with fists and fireballs. Nintendo showed off a playable version of the game for the first time at press conferences in Tokyo and San Francisco this week. The company will show it to the public at the E For All Expo next week in Los Angeles.

We are dissapointed to see Nintendo having so much trouble. Let’s hope they don’t have any more delays or they truly will go down in the market as unreliable.
