We recently posted information sent in by KingBroly that some info came from the latest 1up podcast on the Euro release of Brawl. Mr. Bettenhausen, the man that made the statement, has cleared everything up via his blog. I don’t want to put his statement into my own words, so I will link you directly to his post.

While recounting some of the info that I learned from Nintendo of America’s President & COO, Reggie Fils-Aime, I implied that the European release of Super Smash Bros. Melee had been moved to the fall of 2008…that’s not quite accurate, as neither NOE nor Reggie has announced any official release date at this time. Reggie did tell me (and the other media present) that the release had been pushed out of the winter/spring time frame due to the amount of localization required to get the game up and running all the various European languages. But Reggie did not say WHEN Europeans will get Smash Bros., just that it would be at a later date than the U.S.
