I never said that people don’t like brawl, shoot, people LOVE SSB (Shoot I can’t wait to play it). But these games will always take a backseat to the Mario successors in my gaming world. Even back in the Gamecube days, people were waiting on Super Mario Sunshine. That’s why I asked when did SSB pull forward ahead of the stand alone Mario games. Just a few months ago?

The replay value is so high, that whenever I glance into the game lab at school, SSBM is the only game that is always being played…

Sure, you could argue that this is just because people are excited for Brawl, but it’s been this way for 3 years.

BTW, I’m more excited about Galaxy also

I just have a serious queston. Since when were Super Smash Bros. games “better” or more anticipated than the next Mario game? Everybody I know is actually more stoked about playing Mario Galaxy than SSBB.

I do, but they don’t like me..

at Matt, Very true, I’ll be able to get some other games, like NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams for instance.

Don’t we all just love fiscal years?

As far as Nintendo cares, it’s still part of the same fiscal year, which ends at the end of March. So we’ll definitely be seeing the Smash Bros. Effect once Nintendo releases their financial results.

Yes, but the delay will also allow for people to discover some other games that they wouldn’t have played if Brawl was released on time.

It will be a great holiday for gaming. And a great start to 2008 for Nintendo’s wallet.
