Wisely saving a print-screened image of their findings (viewable via the top right-hand side of the website's news post), CVG has been fortunate enough to observe a curious release date listing of June 1, 2008 for Super Smash Bros. Brawl, over at Nintendo UK's official website. A curiosity that has seemingly been quickly edited by Nintendo to an all-encompassing and vague '2008', as no evidence remains of such a release date on the URL CVG provide as proof, "to view an example for yourself".
While it could be argued that the information CVG originally saw was a mistake on Nintendo's part (considering June 1, 2008 falls on a Sunday, a day not traditionally known for any sort of game release, it may very well have been), such a mid-year release window nevertheless sounds about par for the PAL course -- especially when comprehending the time spent on the unified 'obligatory' localisation Nintendo insist on partaking in for PAL territories, along with the relative proximity to the US's March release date. It goes without saying that we await confirmation on these latest findings from the Big N.
As a notable aside, while our very own Super Smash Bros. Brawl 'Game Info' boxout lists a release date of July 9, 2008 for the game, this is so far only a provisional estimation on the part of our data partners at DVDFeed, and in no way has been officially confirmed by Nintendo.
. So there is no excuse for SSBB imo.
