Whilst Nintendo has yet to confirm, we’ve be able to confirm through our usual 'sources' (so we're 99.9% sure) the release date for Super Smash Bros Brawl in Australia. The release date is set for June 26th, one day before Europe. This means Brawl has finally gotten its release date 60 days after the launch of the game in the US and by the time the game actually gets here, it will have been a 3 month, 18 day delay. When signs of the Brawl delay first surfaced no one thought that Nintendo Australia/Europe would delay Brawl, one of the biggest games of the year so badly. Guess we were wrong.

None other than former Nintendo chairman Hiroshi Yamauchi whose net worth soared US$3 billion in the past year for a total of US$7.8 billion.
