I have made no secret of myburning hatredfor thebullsh*tthat gets heaped on the European market by Japanese publishers, not least byNintendo, whose decision torefuseEurope a release date for one of themost anticipatedWii titles of all time (out of like, two) was taken by many, especially myself, as a huge slap in the face. I don’t even care to play the thing, but principles are principles.
Anyway, the release date seems to have FINALLYbeen revealed, weeks after the US got their copies, months after Japan, and long after everyone has stopped caring about the stupid overhyped game. Aaaand if you thought it’d head our way any time soon, think again. Nintendo will see fit to grace Europe withBrawl‘s presence on June 27th. That’s a few days before July, which was the originally rumored release month. I guess an optimist could say that means we’re getting it earlier than expected. That person would bemurderedshortly thereafter. After receiving weeks of conflicting, rubbish excuses, and Reggie Fils-Aimetaking the p*ssout of them all, European Nintendo fans can finally playBrawl(legally) in the middle of the summer.
