The latest Nintendo of Europe release schedule contains fairly awesome news for the neglected continent, as there's finally a concrete release date for Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Nintendo's wildly popular fighter is hitting stores in the region on June 27th, and there's more happy tidings, with WiiWare and Nintendo Channel set to launch on May 20th and May 30th respectively.
There's little else in the list that both interests us and has a specific date (de Blob and Blast Works have both had a vague "Q2 2008" slapped next to them, though it appears that Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors will be out on May 9th), but heck, why are we yammering to you about this? Check out the latest European dates for yourself past the break!

Eeerrrrr! Wrong, Wiiware is 20th, and Nintendo Channel is 30th.

Did Alone in the Dark get delayed?

The Overlord#2 -incredibly long name, too bored to fill out-
The PC and 360 versions will come first, on the expected release date of May 2008. The others will be released at a later date ;)

They get Wii Fit tomorrow. Yeah, they get Brawl late, but they also get Mario Kart Wii and Wii Fit early.
I'd prefer Brawl, though. :P
FantomRedux @ Apr 24th 2008 5:31PM
Me too. Still got 2 moths to wait for it T_T US get MarioKart this week >< it isnt fair! DAMN YOU NINTENDO!
TheWarlock @ Apr 24th 2008 10:32PM
I also prefer Brawl but still, It's not fair~! Even though they get two games and we get one INSANELY good game it still feels as if it's not worth it.
gorecki @ Apr 24th 2008 11:45AM

Michael_of_sweden @ Apr 24th 2008 12:03PM

That picture has been whored out waaaay too many times.
Sure am glad I live in the U.S. though *licks copy of Brawl passionately*
Roto13 @ Apr 24th 2008 5:35PM
Me too. :P I'm still playing it. Not even close to being tired of it yet.
TheWarlock @ Apr 24th 2008 5:53PM
"Not even close to being tired of it yet."
Same, at least until MKWii comes out... MUAHAHAHAHA~!

Too little too late. Just ordered my US copy.

European protip:
Preorder MKWii. NOW.
Guess what: we have shortages due to Nintendo being unable to produce those wheels that come with the game fast enough.
Creating a hype for stuff people can't buy (yet) must be a brilliant business strategy, because Nintendo's getting damn good at it by now.
