Mike Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 All they need to do is change color to colour, meter to metre and so on. If only they bothered doing even that for PAL releases..
Guest Stefkov Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 I suppose they are with Canada and South America maybe. It's just adding to the point that Nintendo suck balls in Europe.
Mokong Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Either that or they get more translators in. It's not like they have to translate from japanese to english to the other languages. The english should already be done for the US version. Get some more localisation people in. It seem to me like that old Animal Crossing comic...if only I could find it. Do you mean this one
Guest Stefkov Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Do you mean this one Yes! Ah it was an n-europe comic. Very nice. Still makes me laugh.
Gaijin von Snikbah Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Localization could also mean having enough game units for launch?
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Do you mean this one Grrr...Nintendoooo! I'll be showing love to Sony's offerings this year, Nintendo can fuck right off mate.
Mokong Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Localization could also mean having enough game units for launch? Easily solved if they used the discs for Kart and Fit :wink: We never expected those games early so it would have made little difference to us if we got them a bit later, it would just seem "normal", but this delay for Brawl as well past "normal" by now
Nintendohnut Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Easily solved if they used the discs for Kart and Fit :wink: We never expected those games early so it would have made little difference to us if we got them a bit later, it would just seem "normal", but this delay for Brawl as well past "normal" by now But the Brawl disks are special, remember? Something about the first Wii disks to have gold in or something. So yeah, they can't just use Kart and Fit disks sadly. Still, I'm very pissed off that we may not be seeing this for another 6 months, that's ridiculous.
DCK Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 One thing that I've thought of everytime they delay a game like this; why don't they just give us the bloody american game. All they need to do is change color to colour, meter to metre and so on. Not trying to sound a dick but we people who have english as our first language have to wait for those that don't. This is the reason I've gone off nintendo. Believe me I was a fanboy, I'm still associated with mario now in college but it's been a continuing thing release dates and I'm sick of it. It is not the freaking translation time that's causing this. We've been over this too many times. Brawl is the first dual-layered Wii game and they can't produce enough before Summer. And they're not going to release the game in Summer.

DCK Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Its still a Nintendo shortcoming, right?Yeah it is, but what does that have to do with anything? Are you satisfied with any reason to flame Nintendo? You're collectively wrong here, get your facts straight.
Guest Jordan Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Haha, what a second. Are you suggesting that these discs are hard to make? They're standard DVD9's for the love of god. Nintendo are just too damn cheap to ramp up DVD production.
Serebii Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 It wont be Autumn I can guarantee you it It will be July at the VERY latest But I'm hedging bets now on May to Early June
Hero-of-Time Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 It is not the freaking translation time that's causing this. We've been over this too many times. So why the hell did NoE say that was the reason then? Its even in this months issue of ONM in the ask Nintendo section. So not only are they not giving us Brawl at a decent time they are also lying about the reason why.
Serebii Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Chances are though, that the UK disk will just have English on it I hate being part of europe ¬¬
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 It wont be Autumn I can guarantee you it It will be July at the VERY latest But I'm hedging bets now on May to Early June Insider knowledge or dead-strong optimism? So why the hell did NoE say that was the reason then? Its even in this months issue of ONM in the ask Nintendo section. So not only are they not giving us Brawl at a decent time they are also lying about the reason why. I think the word used was localization.
Hero-of-Time Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 I think the word used was localization. Heres what was said! No release date has been announced for Smash Bros. in the UK or Europe. Localising any game takes a long time to make sure its done properly. In Addition to English, it must also be translated into 4 other languages necessary for a Euro release. Then they go on and on about PEGI ratings and TV formats. So yeah they are blaming the translation process, aswell as other things.
Serebii Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Insider knowledge or dead-strong optimism? Logic and Optimism :p
Mike Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 One thing I just thought of that will need to be properly localised is all the retro games' release dates in the Masterpieces section and the trophy descriptons..
Owen Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Why don't they translate the game while making it? Why are Europe left at the back of their mind until they've made the game for America and Japan...someone find the damn answer!
Mike Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 It wont be Autumn I can guarantee you it It will be July at the VERY latest But I'm hedging bets now on May to Early June But a few moths ago, weren't you positive that we would be getting it in April or early May at the latest?
Serebii Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 But a few moths ago, weren't you positive that we would be getting it in April or early May at the latest? Oh everything looks bad if you remember it
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 If only I shared your optimism, Serebii. And frankly, I don't know what is taking them so long. Like Owen proposed, since they've been updating the Dojo in all the featured languages, why couldn't they do the same with the game?
Serebii Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 They probably have been But don't forget theres loads of stuff they have to do...menus, character names (such as the pokemon which change region to region) and sounds to accompany, trophy names, trophy details, dates etc.
Hellfire Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Haha, what a second. Are you suggesting that these discs are hard to make? They're standard DVD9's for the love of god. Nintendo are just too damn cheap to ramp up DVD production. No they're not, get your facts straight It's still Nintendo's fault. I also heard that Wii's laser wasn't very fine tuned to DL DVDs (which is moronic), which could be why theyre making it on gold DVD9s or wtvr. That and it's too much awesome to be contained in a normal disc prison
