Super Smash Bros. Brawl dated down under

Ouch... poor Aussies, waiting so long!

I don't know why some Aussies are saying they finally have a game before Europe. They got the Wii console before us, Zelda PH before us and now this! That's three of the biggest titles out there!

Could you get imported games cheaper?

@videogamr49, gin_rummy89, etc. (Basically) All Wii games are freakin' 100 dollars here in Aus! Doesn't everyone know that already?! LIFE IS UNFAIR HERE!!! Yes, and it is about time they announced the release date.

OMG OMG OMG EEEEEEEEEE BRAWL ON PEEPS IN AUS

Even though this is good news in the Sense that there FINALLY set a bloody release date instead of june some time, the fact that its 6 months after Japan and about 3 after America thats still bloody terrible also SCREW YOU Nintendo for charging it for $100 your treating the Wii like a 360 with games at that price

I love super smash brawl

Guys, why are you suddenly complaining about the price of Smash Bros when it's the same price as every single new-release game released in the last few years? $100 is the standard RRP for a new-release game in this country...and in fact new release PS3 games can actually be as expensive as $120. New-game prices actually have very little to do with exchange rates because the games are not directly "imported", so to speak. So you have two options. You either live with it and pay the $100, or you don't buy from the major game retailers like EB or Game and buy from somewhere like JB Hi-Fi who are always at least $20 cheaper. White_Pointer

Finally, i can ditch the freeloader + Americas SSBB And get the Aussie one!!

Yes, it does indeed. The US-AU exchange rate is almost the same, so we're still paying nearly double what you Americans do. Bah. I was thinking of getting the Freeloader at one stage to play the US version, but I reckon I'll just wait. Another month or so.

My God it must suck to live in Australia.

$100 dollars? Why's it so expensive in Australia

And here I was under the false impression that Nintendo cares about it's fans the whole time. I got the game release night in the US, and placed 2nd in a tourney to get it for free... but Damn, you guys have to pay a heap (not that I know the current conversion between USD to A$) for it and wait longer still? Sakurai can shove it

Man, no offense to people from Australia, but you guys suck when it come to having games come out. I suppose GTA IV isn't out either in Australia either? Sorry if I seem like I'm offending you guys, but wow, SSMB coming out 4 months after the US release. Kinda doesn't make sense when you consider that both the AU and US versions are both in the English language.

how dare they get it one day before us europeans- only joking lol

Yeah, I feel for you Aussies. We Americans understand what it's like getting a game so late. It's just awful. At least you know you'll be getting it at the end of next month.

Being a american I'm usually always pissed that we get a game like upwards of 6 months to a year after it's been release in japan, but I gotta say that I feel for you aussies. You guys are pretty much south of the border (so to speak) and yet you get games like your at the ass end of the earth

$99.95 AU!? That's still about $94 US! Why is Nintendo charging so much for the game?

Finally! Thank god after so long! I'm so ready for it and I'm glad I didn't get the US version with the Freeloader. At least you care, Mp5slipknot

I'll bet we got a lot of happy Austrailians right about now. ;)

I think that they should have released it all at once kinda like they did with Mario Kart. Oh well, atleast when they have it I can find more people to play online :)

its 100 australian dollars, not american

Zomg hurry up already!

yay more than a month to go but seriously, why pay $100. i undestand with mariokart when you get the wii wheel with it but why we need to pay $40 extra for just the game. this would make it the most expensive game without any extras, this is utter ********, first sony now nintendo, us PAL gamers get games later and now we pay more. grrrrr things like this make me angry but on the plus side SSBB is coming soon :)

Brawl? Oh, that game I was hyped for just before the American release and have now lost all interest in since then because of a lack of any information about it appearing on Australian shelves for what, a month after the US release?

Fully agree, 100 bucks? For what? BTW when it's out in EUR?

How bout releasing the bloody game NOW and I dunno, slashing 40 bucks off the goddamn price so that it matches the American one?

...Finally

Hey you can't blame them. It takes SO long to turn a game into PAL from NTSC.

Oh my god! Australia is getting a game before we do! damn it!

Its taken so long I dont even care anymore

well a year late and $40 more than it should be. bravo nintendo

sweet, thats awesome, finally i will be able to beat up sonic

farout i tell you i knew about this game ever sinse 2006 christmas and thought it was coming out beginning of this year............AND finally im getting it in just over a month

Finally, we get a game before Europe!

I feel bad for you Aussies that you have to wait so long, I really do D:

Poor guys ;__; Everyone's really good now, and you guys barely know how to play that...kind of sucks.

This is good news! I got an US version of Brawl with a Wii freeloader back in March? but a local release means more online competition, which will be good. It?s taken a while for brawl to get to Australia, hasn?t it?

Awesome! Only 43 more days! :D Better pre-order it soon :)

Sweet... Finally!

I'm getting tired of waiting now. Come on Nintendo! You can do better than this.

yes i was right, atleast it is with the European release date
