Whilst I agree in part with you Skyman, as we did get MKWii and Wii Fit early, the SSBB delay is really taking the ****. There can't possibly be any good reason why there'd be such a gap after the North American release.

And as for the 360 simultaneous release dates, that means everyone has to wait, and I think that with the mass number of people in japan that own a wii and would buy the game, they don't want to hold them up for too long.
Wrong on two counts:

1) 2 titles, 2 weeks early STILL does not in any way equate to waiting an extra half a year for a AAA title we've already been waiting One and a Half years for.
Simply put, I'm sure MOST EU gamers would happily switch places and have gotten SSBB in Feb, but then had to wait a measly 2 weeks for MKWii and WiiFit .
So I still strongly believe the "Nintendo hates Europe" slogan - think how many other AAA titles we've had to wait MONTHS for - Super Paper Mario, Metroid Prime 3... etc etc.

2) The problem is, when games eventually do get here, they're still in American and NOT in English......in which case they have never been translated for us in the first place (Medal of Honour has a U in it etc etc). It's just another sh***y excuse from the Big N. They have always been this way since the NES days (EU usually a last priority) and I don't see them changing any time soon.........which again begs the Q, if they don't care about us, why do Fanboys get so hot under the collar trying to defend them???
