Brawl Street Date Broken?

by Matt Kelly Featured 35 Comments 30 Votes 1901 Views 29/02/2008 Back to News

Akin to Super Mario Galaxy's embargo breaking early release last year, reports are now coming in that the major American chain Sears has broken the street date on Super Smash Brothers Brawl. The photo to the left shows one savvy buyers copy, and from what we can see the box and manual don't appear to be review marked, with review copies featuring quite large print saying that are such.

So will it speed up the Aussie release? Probably not....

Wet_Dog gave me the tip on this one, so he gets high five

And if you don't like Kittens in fire, click that little yellow Digg tag in the top right of the article

It's a button that gives all Kitten in the world flame retardant clothing and little cute gumboots to match!

LIAR! I was just at Sears, and they haven't even heard of the game! Don't get your hopes up everyone, this is just a sick joke. Thanks for giving me something to wake up for though, I guess.

Maybe, but he failed to specify if it was all Sears stores that had it or just a certain ones. The way he wrote it, it sounded like all of the Sears stores had it. I asked a guy there about the game, and he hasn't even heard of it! Either gay or a n00b.

don't forget, all the wii manuals have been coming in english but with one to two different languages included. so probably only a third of that manual is actually in english with the rest being in other languages.

Nintendo doesn't typically ship multiple language manuals do they? Ubisoft and such are fiends for it though

In my discussions with Sears, Wal-Mart, Toys-R-Us etc. I was told that there were "Store copies running around,but stores have not released the public copies at this point.

A lot of what people are seeing and thinking is the released game are the deceptive displays that include empty game boxes. They do look real. but they are not.

Because the US uses NTSC while Australia & Europe use PAL. Even if we shipped the game from the US, it wouldn't play on our consoles.

You guys do know that you can get a NTSC to PAL converter. Just plug your Audio and Visual plugs into it and you can play NTSC games on a PAL system.

They're on Ebay!!!
