Wii - Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Europe SSBB fall date untrue, but will launch later than America On the latest 1-up podcast, listeners were given the impression that Super Smash Bros. Brawl would be launching in the fall, according to a statement NOA President Reggie Fils-Aime said. However, it appears to be that Shane Bettenhausen, the one who had made the remarks about Reggie's words did not provide completely accurate information. The game will not necessarily be releasing in fall, but it will be released after the American version, due to localization processes.

"While recounting some of the info that I learned from Nintendo of America's President & COO, Reggie Fils-Aime, I implied that the European release of Super Smash Bros. Melee had been moved to the fall of 2008¿that's not quite accurate, as neither NOE nor Reggie has announced any official release date at this time. Reggie did tell me (and the other media present) that the release had been pushed out of the winter/spring time frame due to the amount of localization required to get the game up and running all the various European languages. But Reggie did not say WHEN Europeans will get Smash Bros., just that it would be at a later date than the U.S." - Shane Bettenhausen

Wii - Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Reggie: No Brawl until fall for Europe? Europe has been known for receiving Nintendo games rather late. This bit of information led to the questioning of why Mario Kart Wii and Wii Fit will be releasing in Europe before America. A discussion on the latest 1-up podcast talks about how Reggie replied to the Mario Kart Wii/Wii Fit release date confusion with "because they won't get Brawl until Fall (Autumn)."

Wii - Super Smash Bros. Brawl - GDC 2008: Sakurai Denies Smash on DS "Seeing the success that Brawl has had with the Wii remote being playing sideways, I don't think that there are control limitations that keep it from being ported to the DS. But I personally have no plans to do this myself," Sakurai said.

This doesn't mean the idea is dead in the water. DS games often have completely different development teams, but Sakurai does not plan to have any part in it.

"If, in the future, such a thing was to be planned, it would be up to Nintendo to decide how and when and in what way they would like to create that sort of game," Sakurai said.

Wii - Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Why Is There No Capcom In Super Smash Bros. Brawl?
