My guess is shipping. Since Nintendo is Japanese, they only have to move their units a couple hundred miles north or south.

For the rest of the world, they have to take more units than Japan, and move each one farther than a Japanese location. Given, I'm not sure if it takes three weeks, but if I had to deliver mail, it would be easier to deliver it down the street, than in several other towns.

That's just my guess, though. I could be wrong.

Ho! Are you going to buy Smash? :lol:
For $19.82, sure. For $49.99, probably not.

Um, that's not how it works man. International releases are localized and released in each market. Not everything comes straight from Japan. (Except for Pop'N and IIDX!)

I don't like it either. But that's not to say I dislike it. In fact, I've never played it. :P

when someone gets this game they need to stage a 4 person battle with all players as Solid Snake and play on the Starfox level

Snakes on an Spaceship!

(Do a barrel roll!)

We all know about the Wii Shortage, well this is about to reach a new level in Japan next week.

They will not have enough copies of Smash Bros Brawl to match demand!!!

TONS of leaks! SPOILERS: Toon Link, Lucario, Luigi, Falco, Falcon, Ness, Game and Watch, Ganondorf, and Robot (R.O.B.?) are all playable characters. There should still be more characters announced :)
