Super Smash Bros. Brawl Delayed Until March 9
by Chris Faylor, Jan 15, 2008 7:08am PSTNintendo has once again delayed Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii), this time pushing the North American release of the game back until Sunday, March 9.
The company had previously specified a February 10 release (also a Sunday) for the highly-anticipated mascot fighter, itself a delay from the initial December 3 date, which fell on a Monday.
"I deeply apologize to the people who have looked forward to playing the game for so long and ask that you hold on just a little longer," director Masahiro Sakurai pleaded on the game's official site. "Thank you for your patience."
The game has also been postponed in Japan, but only for a week; it will now arrive on January 31 instead of January 24. European regions, meanwhile, are still without a specific release date, though it is possible the title may arrive there as soon as April.

Feb-March is looking really burdensome on my wallet. Spreading the dates out a bit more is welcomed.

How could you have not foreseen this? The Feb. 10th release date always sounded too early in my opinion and I took it with a grain of salt. My friends would ask me, "Hey, when is SSB coming out?" And my reply is always the same, "What would GeorgeB say?"
Smash Bros. is the kind of game that doesn't get released until it's absolutely and completely ready. I'm willing to bet this game will have more polish than Zelda, Metroid, and Mario combined.

They're worried that North America (which has several times more people) will overwhelm the network (kinda like how Xbox Live stumbled in December) and they're beefing up the infrastructure.

The rumors were true... this sucks. I mean the damn game is finished so why keep delaying it?
The only thing I could see holding them back from releasing it is their online infrastructure needs to be enhanced to support the massive amounts of Smash Bros players that will play online once this game is released. And even that is pushing it....
