Official: SSB:B delayed in US until 10 Feb. 2008

[shams]

Sort of sucks for US Ninty gamers - but that is about it. Doesn't affect Europe/AU/Japan gamers - if anything makes me a little happier, as I know we are being shafted quite as hard.

And its odd to say, but it could be great news for Ninty:

1/ Wii is likely to sell out this year/xmas anyway - regardless of units or software

2/ PS3/360 have strong lineups for start '08 - now with WiiFit, Mario Kart & Smash - Ninty does as well. Perfect game to nullify the release of GTA or MGS?

3/ This gives the holiday season to Galaxy - at least on the Wii. Should result in more attention, and more sales.

4/ Whatever happens these holidays, its a huge kick-start to sales in early '08.

(and  of course the obvious - the game will be better) 

...

In the long run, this is definitely a positive for everyone. In the short term - bad news to US gamers hoping to Smash over Xmas.

So what are the huge games left for Xmas overall?

 - Galaxy
 - Mass Effect (EA? boo....)

 - Assassins Creed(?)
 - Uncharted(?)

Anything else in the same league?
