I wouldn't be shocked. Nintendo is rolling in dough. They are literally eating/drinking money and using for paper maché. Why release a game like that now. If Nintendo decides to delay SSBB to 2008, it's because they want to wait to a point where revenue isn't so high.i dont think they will wait til that late! i remember reading somewhere that the game could pretty much be released straight away, thats how far along it has come.... i'd predict the 7 days would give a date, but i'd be shocked if it wasn't available til december!
I reckon Mario Galaxy would be a more likely to be put against it. It would be appealing to the casual gamers and hardcore gamers. Not a lot of Wii owners know about the Smash Brothers series or aren't really into kick-arse-me-do games, whereas everyone must've played a Mario platformer and enjoyed it, if they never enjoyed one then they are dead inside.i wouldnt be surprised if Smash bros was released just before Halo 3.
They are both big hitting games, different enough to not be compared to (say if prime 3 was released instead). halo 3 will obviously sell LOADS but smash bros could be a great counter attack.
Oh if only Nintendo did what Capcom did with their last Vs. series. MvC2
56 Characters confirmed!
But we all know Nintendon't!
