After calming myself down, I have decided to not believe this rumor. I mean, the game went GOLD, right?

That was a rumor, apparently...

I think the Dojo would have told us by now. I mean look we're getting great updates now. If there was a delay we wouldn't be.

Didn't the Whobby guy confirm that it was set for release on the 24th as well?
It might not be because of the game. Maybe Nintendo doesn't have the bandwidth/servers in place for WFC. You know EVERYONE is going to be playing Brawl online...
Maybe the firmware update for sharing pictures/videos or something isn't ready.

Please let us know your findings soon.

The translation of the first link is basically that a single store manager said that the game's release would be pushed back to 2/7, but then the article follows up by saying that pretty much everyone says that its impossible that SSBB will be delayed.

Just your average kind of Luigi.
Okay, direct translation of the first post (I'm only a japanese student, so I can't promise complete accuracy):
"A part-time worker told (someone... lii-san?) that he was told the game would be postponed and released sometime between Jan. 24 and Feb. 7.
This story is just a rumor, but must be treated as a possiblity."
And the second one:
"Nintendo has to consider it's release date of Smash Bros X. They are looking at "All possible options".
That's the best I can do.

Interesting. I think it's going to be hard for some stores to get really get their hands on it. In other words, the game will be launched the 24th, but expect limited supply. I've seen a BUNCH of forums with people looking everywhere to preorder. Somebody posts something like "xxx has 100 preorders available!" and within minutes (maybe seconds) it's gone. It seems like supply could be limited and some stores will only get the game on the second shipment.

Thanks you 2 for those translations. Until the Dojo says otherwise this is a rumor. Maybe the title should be changed?

So, it's not confirmed then? THANK GOD. Right?
DanteFox

guess when we got one of the best updates (Sonic)? right before the delay announcement...
Man all this FUD is starting to get on my nerves...
The title was a "calling all translators" so I think I can change it...
There is a supply issue in Japan though, that's for sure.

Yesss! Thank you so much! And I agree. It is much too late to delay the game. If it did happen it would be a bad bad move, however people will still buy the game, so how much could it hurt them?

Can't believe I read all of that... And no.. no more delays thats stupid..
Game looking good so far from reading all of that. All the changes I can't really make a comment on since I didn't get in depth with Melee so I don't even know if some of the changes are good or not.

No way I see Japan delaying this "at the buzzer" 3...2...1... GO!...WAIT UNTIL SPRING DUDES! 
Doesnt make sence to me nor everyone esle,but I agree with ShortFuse,the game is well known and is most likly to be the Wii game of this year.Only normal to see stores with limited amounts the 1st shipment.

I could just imagine...Luigi would just about start to fight, the game would get delayed, and as he's running to start, his terrible traction makes him fall off the stage XDNo way I see Japan delaying this "at the buzzer" 3...2...1... GO!...WAIT UNTIL SPRING DUDES!
Updated the first post. Thanks for the help guys. I love how devoted this community is.
"What!? Smash could be delayed? I'll use altavista if I have to, I'll get to the bottom of this"
But note that it's a store manager saying he won't be getting the game on the 24th. If you're in Japan and haven't preordered brawl (or even if you have) make sure the store you're planning on getting it from will, in fact, have it the 24th.

You might want to note that at the bottom it mentions that it's definitely a possibility. The way they presented it makes it seem like it has a high probability, IMO.
FYI, if SamuraiPanda, myself, or any others aren't available to translate, you can always try Rikai. Just put in the text, then you can go over the kanji with your cursor to see what it means. Pretty helpful, if you don't already have a denshijisho or any other kind of device.

Well, it's a common topic on JPN forums/blogs, the delaying of game. This post seemed (even with machine translation) more substantial than the rest so I felt like I should bring it up.
Thanks for the link. I could use more machine translators.

All I have to say is that if this is delayed again, Nintendo are fools.

I so hope it isn't delayed. Again. It creates bad PR.

Yeah! I hate them for making Smash Bros

Another reason why I don't think it will be delayed (for the US) is because No More Heroe was bumped up to 1/22/08. They wouldn't want to compete with Brawl.

If that wasn't sarcasm, I hope not, since I really don't think they expect No More Heroes to even come CLOSE to the sales of Smash Bros. NMH isn't Galaxy, it's a third party that seems like GTA collided with a laser sword and killer7.

true dat, man. If true, this will be the third delay I believe.

hey, that's what he meant. by "compete with," he meant "be completely decimated by."

If the game's delayed, that'll suck huge balls. But if it's just stores running out of pre-orders, that's another matter entirely. I can't beleive diehard fans would wait this long to think about pre-ordering. It's just a $5 down-payment. :\
Kurosagi

A delay 9 days before launch...seriously doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
Ianthraxx
Smash Apprentice
Hah, yeah, that too.
That doesn't make ANY business sense at all, especially not for such a heavily-hyped game.
*trying very hard not to even imagine the POSSIBILITY of another delay*
Dragonboy2k4

Yeah..nothings offical as of yet tho.But thats what I said earlier tho Kurosagi,thats like a hot girl asking you to rub her back,then her getting mad and punching you in the eye.A kick to the nuts indeed..Japan needs to make up their minds and stop spreading junk tho.
Actually, in Japan we don't even need a deposit. I just called up my local store, gave my name, and was told to pick up my copy at 10 AM on January 24th. So yeah, no excuses.

The only explanation would be if the shortage of discs that plagued Europe in particular over the holidays was a lot more severe than initially reported. Nintendo said that would be cleared up in a few weeks though.
You dont start running commercials with the date in it a few weeks before and delay it unless something has gone horribly, horribly wrong.

The game comes out in just over a week in Japan. It isn't being delayed. If it was, it would be delayed in November=2 month's notice!
