As strange as this may sound, I was very pleased to hear this news. The release date was delayed because the developers need more time to complete the game. This shows that they truly care about delivering a fantastic title that will be enjoyed for years to come. Had the game been rushed, it would have shown in the quality and depth of the game. If you can remember, Super Smash Brothers Melee was originally supposed to be a GameCube launch title, but it was delayed for two weeks for extra tweaking. Who knows what the final result would have been if it was not pushed back. Also think about what could have been done with Melee had it been delayed further (the elimination of clones, better character balance with less tiers, etc). It was pretty much an insult having Bowser as useful as Pichu in Melee, and I'm sure with more time the developers may have been able to correct Bowser's fundamental flaws as a fighter. If the developers of Brawl do not release future online balance updates, then they only have one shot at trying to balance the game and keep an even playing field. Having a delay will also allow for more stages, more characters, and greater overall depth and polish. This delay could mean the difference between a 9.0 and a 9.8 in reviews. I know you are all just dying to finally get a chance to play the game, and to play as Bowser, just as much as I am. The developers asked for an extension because they absolutely needed it. Give them the time they need to make this the greatest Nintendo game of all time. I please ask everybody not to nag for the release of the game and to be patient. Your future self will thank you...

He's pretty right I think. Not so much on that it being delayed is good, but not to rush making Super Smash Bros Brawl. A rushed game will often not be as good as one which has taken more time and effort. Didn't Miyamoto say something like:

A delayed game can be good. A bad game is bad forever?
