Don't be a Duke Nukem Forever


Come on Nintendo, don't screw yourself over like this. Correct me if I'm wrong, please do people, but wasn't Super Smash Bros. Brawl originally a Wii launch title? Then Summer, Then December 3rd. Okay, I can deal with that. December 3rd. I'll be playing it at Christmas break, online, kickin' butt. Oh, but wait- they need just a little more time. Fine, not great, but I guess I'd rather have a late but better game than an on-time but not-as-perfect one. Febuary 10th. Okay. But here's the real punch in the crotch. March 9th. March 9th. It was subtle, it was quick, and quite sneaky, but yes, Nintendo has actually moved the date back another month. This is getting kinda crazy. Having Pre-ordered the game in October, and waiting a few years before that, I think a more than a few nintendophiles are kind of upset about this.

Here's what the big N had to say:

“The development is taking slightly longer than expected,” the company said in a news release. “As we're sure you have seen on the Dojo site (www.SmashBros.com), the game contains an unprecedented number of characters, options and experiences. Be sure to keep an eye on the Dojo site for the latest information.”

Tsk, Tsk, guys.

A little tickedly,

Will
