Are you nuts? I've waited for this game for years, being hyped every single day... It's not like Brawl is some movie cash-in that needs the hype of the film to be good.
Does anyone still care?! DOES ANYONE STILL CARE?! Is it really so that hype is necessary these days to enjoy a game? And saying that is basically exaggerating, because this game was hyped so much that some of the momentum is still left.
Unbelievable that we let our game experience be ruined by a late launch. Late launches don't hold Americans back when they get some JRPG's (well, most Japanese games) like months later... and if you say that that isn't the point, but it's the hyping, well, let me point out to you again that hyping does not make a game, it's gameplay. I've played melee and Smash for years, Brawl isn't going to be a letdown.
But I must agree that the delay for this game was GODAWFUL.
@OP: You truly are shameless.
