| TheBigFatJ said: Yes, and Brawl's delay wasn't a "we need to finish this" delay or "we need to increase the quality" delay and it was less than two months. Kojima himself said it looked ready for release more than 6 months ago. It was a business decision that there were too many releases coming out this holiday and Nintendo didn't want to overshadow them with Galaxy _and_ Brawl. They moved it to a slower, post-holiday period, and it may have been told to us as soon as Nintendo made that business decision. For Nintendo, moving Brawl may have a very positive effect on third parties. It doesn't bother me at all because I have too many games to play right now anyhow and will undoutably be grateful for a fresh new exciting game during the post holiday lull. My point with Sony is that they're delays are often > 6 month delays or sometimes even more than a year, but they'll hide that from people until the game is a couple months from release. And when you're talking about a 6 month delay, this is going to be obvious when there's a year worth of work to complete on the game. |
In one of the hands-on-Brawl articles, there was talk of crashing and game instability. Brawl was pushed back for technical reasons if that article was to be believed.
Edit: Just noticed that the article still refers to the PS3, Wii, 360 as "next gen." Anyone still calling them "next gen" after being on the market for a year is an idiot.
