While Europe has been blessed with an excellent release date for Mario Kart Wii and Wii Fit, a Smash Bros Brawl release date has remained hidden (and Australia has missed out on all for now). But according to Reggie Fils-Aime, don’t except a release date or release for Brawl anytime soon. According to the latest 1Up podcast Reggie was asked why Mario Kart and Wii Fit were heading to Europe before the US and he has said that "because they won't get Brawl until Fall (Autumn)". More inside.
Reggie said that the delay was due to a production problem. He claims that Nintendo would have to open and convert new factories to cope with the disc duplication needed, a move that could be wasteful in the long run. Reggie refers to Autumn for America, which is September here in Australia and Europe. We've seen Nintendo Australia release games independently of Europe, but it’s only happened once. If indeed what Reggie says is true then we are in for a wait as is Europe. Source: 1up Podcast, Via GoNintendo
