Apoplectic Fits

Last I heard, May 20th, though that release date is potentially a leak - they haven't announced an official one through proper channels. You'd think they'd want to release it ASAP here, as it's selling like crazy in Japan, already broke a million copies. And with America's general fitness craze...

Generally, when you see a release date like Jan. 1st, April 1st, etc., at retailers, it's false. When a company believes a game will come out in a certain fiscal quarter but doesn't have an official release date, they'll commonly use the first or last day of that quarter as a placeholder in their computer systems.

What really kills me about the Smash delay is that they said they want to "polish" the game more...yet it's only been delayed a week in Japan. WTF Nintendo? Why?
