"Un"Official Brawl Update Topic

[ChaosVortex]

##### #####ing son of a #####ing ##### bitch.

Oh well... *sigh*

[Xero]

oh noez a delay!

Get over it...it's just a month.

[Vinchenz Rock]

You guys are overreacting. >_>

It's not even a month... though I have to admit, it WOULD be nice if we got the game in December... and then if we were going to game in February... it's still just a month (not even).

Hmm, now that I think about it, the delay is a GOOD thing.

I can now finish up Final Fantasy V, VII, Super Mario Galaxy and Chrono Trigger. I can then also get No More Heroes (I wasn't planning to due to Brawl) and Proffessor Layten and the Curious Villiage. I was going to get PLatCV but I didn't know if I were going to finish it or not because I wouldn't even touch the game.

[Xero]

So should we expect another 3rd party character this week?

[White Shadow]

Why is this called '"Un"Official' again, by the way?

[Kamon]

Cheer up Nova. Atleast you've been given a release date.

[ChaosVortex]

Get over it...it's just a month.

I know, but I just wanted an excuse to swear. >.>;

[Majikn]

You'll live, if you have to sweat in the sewers or in the plague hospital, you'll live, and you'll get it.

Eventually.

[TheRedPriest]

They needed the extra time to add Mega Man 

[ChaosVortex]

Doubt it, but it's a possibility. One that I'd like to imagine.

[Kamon]

They needed the extra time to add Mega Man 

Here's hoping.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

. . .

[NovaMan XP]

I'm over it now, but damn I'm gonna have another Dec. 3rd moment on Feb. 10th.


Me on Feb 10: I could've had that game now dammit...

[Xero]

But the bright side is we'll know all the characters and how to unlock them!!!

Wait...that's a bad thing.

[NovaMan XP]

Yep.

Japan only gets a week long delay.

OH NOZ INSTED OF JANURAY 24 ITS JANURAY 31 TEH HORROR

I guess I shouldn't feel bad... Europe still doesn't have a release date I think...

[Kamon]

I don't think we ever had a release date.

[ChaosVortex]

I think that's because they're mayonaise for Japan.

[Vinchenz Rock]

I actually want to know all the characters the second its released in Japan...

Oh yeah, it's been delayed in Japan too, but by about a week.

Anyway, they're not going to add anything. The game has already gone gold. One of the two things had to have happened:

A) Server problems. Nintendo of America uses GameSpy as a server while Nintendo of Japan uses Mario Club as a server. What could've happened is that some problems have occurred in GameSpy while playing the game.

B) Something happened during the mass production. A machine could've broken down, an important employee could've gotten sick or passed away. These things are rare and they just happen to have happened to Brawl.

If it's B, I'll be kinda pissed. Though if it's A, then that's a good enough reason for me. I want online play to be perfect.

[Xero]

With this delay...should we expect a 3rd party character announcement soon?

[ChaosVortex]

Hey Vinch, you forgot one.

C) They're taking their sweet ass time choosing a 3rd party character.

[Vinchenz Rock]

THEY CAN'T. IF THEY PROGRAMMED A NEW CHARACTER IN, THE GAME WOULD PROBABLY BE DELAYED UNTIL 2009! THEY NEED TO EDIT THE SCRIPTS AND MAKE SURE NOTHING IS BUGGY!

Unless that third 3rd party character is already in the game, IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. The game has already gone gold. What does that mean? THE MASS PRODUCTION HAS STARTED. At this point Nintendo's NOT GOING TO GO BACK. Hell, there's probably already over 9000 copies produced. Nintendo's not just going to go back and add a new character. End of the story.

[preventerWIND]

Dude, Sano, I can't tell by your face but... I look JUST like that, but with blond hair.

[Majikn]

DNA TEST RIGHT NOW

[ASR]

So you're saying that just because the game has "gone Gold", they won't go back into development if they find any major bugs?

Anyway, comments from a friend at another forum:

By the way, the JP release was only delayed a week, which is a little weird because a week is nowhere near enough time to fix an error AND re-mass produce hundreds of thousands of copies. People have suggested it's a bug or coding error of some sort but that's simply impossible. ...for the JP release at least. Who knows what's going on.

Someone suggested the US version was having "controversial" content removed, which is actually not all that far-fetched since it happened with Melee. Would usually be just a few trophies, or worse, some music, if there were licensing issues.

Then someone else mentioned this:

QUOTE  
The delay is due to a shortage of Wii Optical Discs. Those take some time to manufacture. Of course, Japan is going to get priority over the newly-produced discs. English mass-production has probably barely started, if at all.

If there's anything to blame here, it's not Sakurai. It's the Wii, for selling so well.



Sounds plausible too, meh. I just want my #####in Smash =[

[Majikn]

Any relation to Reptobismol?

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Dude, Sano, I can't tell by your face but... I look JUST like that, but with blond hair.

Yeah, I'm the original. You're just the Player 2 color.

[Vinchenz Rock]

They'll probably go back if they find a new bug within the first few hundred copies but there are many games that have huge glitches in them even after going gold, take The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 1.0. That game had a lot of glitches.

Hmm, another theory is that the Wii is selling too much. Someone suggested that Nintendo wants to keep up with the demand so that Brawl will sell better. Makes sense I guess.

Whens your birthday? >.>

[ASR]

Indeed it is Reptobismol. Know him? He frequents my half-assed general-mayhem forums. Scratch that, co-admins it.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Whens your birthday? >.>

March 20th, and yours?

[NovaMan XP]

PW is older... >_>

[preventerWIND]

March 19.9

You lose.

[ChaosVortex]

GOOD DAY SIR!

[NovaMan XP]

Wait, you're 16, I thought you were older.

Wait, that's CV... nevermind.

[preventerWIND]

May 4th. Fo real.


: ' (

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Ha! I am the original and you are a fake! That means your life is a lie, therefore you must die for you sin, mortal.

[preventerWIND]

I'm a more advanced version.

YOU OUTDATED PIECE OF JUNK!

[ASR]

WINDUH WINS

[preventerWIND]

Whats even better is I'm sitting in the same kind of chair Sano is, but it's green! And I even have a better MMX poster in my room.

[ChaosVortex]

The difference:

I pick on Sano. Result? A minute later he's sobbing in the corner.

I pick on WIND. Result? A minute later I'm sobbing in the corner.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Whats even better is I'm sitting in the same kind of chair Sano is, but it's green! And I even have a better MMX poster in my room.

Take the same picture, we'll see what happens then.

[preventerWIND]

You can't see my poster where I'm located. I'll show some of them later. And I'd probably be in a different pose, a better one.

OFF TOPIC AWESOMENESS

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Lame.

[Morgan Guyer]

[ASR]

"I'm also trying to make Ridley bigger."

That made me laugh. That was actually pretty funny.

[Johncarllos]

Silly foolish man.

[Mikero]

AAAAAHAHHAHAHAHahahahahaha! I think it's been almost a year since my friend pre ordered this game.

Any relation to Reptobismol?

Indeed it is Reptobismol. Know him? He frequents my half-assed general-mayhem forums. Scratch that, co-admins it.

Any relation to nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach diarrhea yay Peptobismol?

You'd know!

Uh... No. You look at the top viewed and that's all it is.

You'd know!

[Vinchenz Rock]

Did you make that, Morgan?

Also, nice unexpected MOTHER3 spoiler there. Luckily I already knew it, XD.

You are not manly enough to accept my challenge!

[Morgan Guyer]

Nope. Sorry.

Oh, and Sheik confirmed:
