Nintendo UK says June 1 SSBB release date is unlikely

NewsPosted 30/01/2008 - 5:18pm GMT

Has Nintendo's official UK website revealed the date all UK Wii gamers have been waiting for?

Despite no official confirmation from Nintendo UK representatives, the platform holder's official UK website has listed the title for release on June 1 2008.

With June 1 falling on a Sunday we had our suspicions that the date could be inaccurate, an opinion shared by Nintendo.

"We're trying to find out as nothing official has been announced by Nintendo," a Nintendo spokesperson told VideoGamer.com. "1st June is a Sunday and games are never released on a Sunday. It's likely to be a placeholder as it is the exact middle point of 2008."

It looks like European gamers will be waiting a little longer before an official date for SSBB is confirmed. Let us know in the comments below when you think the game will be released in Europe.

UPDATE: Nintendo UK has changed the SSBB release date on its website from June 1 2008 to simply 2008.

heh,dinowii... yes.. they are the same language, but have you ever heard of something called, formats, perhaps? it takes a long time to convert it to 50 hz and 60 hz. i think... the americans use PAL, someone correct me if im wrong. i don't see why your criticising Nintendo when they've made this Awesome game for you and you just moan. if your really this desperate to get it, then get an imported verison from America, buy a Wii Freeloader and enjoy yourself.

Lol, they care TOO much about their profits than their customers. Even though the main point is to earn a profit, they are just going to lose out on customers if they aren't going to please us a little (by confirming a f***ing release date already!) ... :p

It's not the first time the website has done that. They did that ages go too and changed it back to 2008 very quickly. I'm sick of all this arsing around for a release date. We deserve one already! I mean how hard can it be to translate a few bloody languages?!

Does it seriously take THAT long to change it from american to english? I could walk to america, buy the game and walk back in the time it apparently takes them to change words like 'meter' to 'metre'. Lazy, lazy, money hoarding lets-only-employ-one-translation-guy-to-save-on-costs ninendo bar stewards.
