I really dont think NA will see another delay. I REALLY don't.

... then he'd have to make A LOT more updates to fit that.

*Glances at quote in loadedstatement's sig*

Well, Mario Kart Wii has been in development for a long time.

It was leaked back in early 2006, but Nintendo managed to delete all traces of information surrounding it (there was a Wikipedia page up for the game, which was removed).

Thats it. If Brawl doesn't get delayed in Japan/(or at least in U.S.) i'm gonna import console or mod it, if i can get 100% reliable chip for Pal Wii.

"And Super Smash Bros Brawl is not gonna get released in Europe/Pal regions in 1Q/2Q of 2008 ?

I blame the internet:

Wow, the release dates for the N64 SSB:
JPN January 21, 1999
NA April 26, 1999
EU November 19, 1999

GCN - SSBM:
JP November 21, 2001
NA December 3, 2001
EU May 24, 2002
AUS May 31, 2002

WOW THIS IS SO DIFFERENT FROM BEFORE! Oh, wait, it's not. ITS QUICKER! OH WELL, LET'S STILL BITCH FOR NO REASON!

Nope.

Sakurai left HAL in 2003(?), and he wasn't working on the game.

Iwata announced that a Smash game was in development in 2005, though that was the first time Sakurai heard of the project.

After meeting with Iwata, his former boss at HAL, Sakurai agreed to develop the next game.

Production started sometime in Summer 2005.

 I'm with you here.  Why back in my day we didn't have the internet.  We bought things called magazines that were printed on paper!  We'd buy them and drool over the same articles and screen shots for a month until the next one came out!  If someone had solid details on a game six months before it came out that was a major scoop!  Most of the time you'd never know if a game got delayed because the release date hadn't been announced yet!  Sheesh, kids these days......grumble grumble.....uphill......snow.......both ways.......

The Delay doesn't bother me one bit. I thought it was kind of dumb for them to release it so close to No More Heroes anyway.

Plus I also think they are still having the Disc problems and they got to clear that up before they launch such a big title that probably will take a massive amount of discs to satisfy the customers.

By July they may even have a better handle on the shortage of systems as well.

I like the fact that they are giving the 3rd parties room. In this way it allows them to see why their games did not sell- so that they can't blame Nintendo.
