Super Mario Galaxy is releasing in Japan in October. Ok, I know I bash the Wii a lot in my posts.  But hear me out.  Because even as a cow, what I am about to say is true.  Nintendo USUALLY releases a title in U.S. 4-6 months AFTER it comes to Japan. It's the truth. Now, if Nintendo follows this pattern that they pretty much have always followed over the last 22 years, then there is NO WAY SMG will release in U.S. in 2007.  Also, Nintendo is notorious for game delays. 

2007 release in U.S.??  Seems very unlikely if Nintendo follows its usual pattern...Japan first, U.S. several months later.   Sorry sheep, but you have to wonder...Also, the October release date is implicitly only for Japan.  And, if it was coming to U.S. in October, how come there are no articles about it yet.  That's because a simultaneous release for both Japan and U.S. is looking unlikely...otherwise there would BE SOME SORT OF INFO.

I think the best possible scenario is that SMG makes it here by December.  Nintendo isn't going to miss the U.S. holiday season are they??  Acutally, they most likely will. See, Wii is selling so well, that Nintendo probably is not in any hurry to get this game to the U.S. by the end of the year. 

Have there been games from Nintendo that release in Japan and U.S. at the same time?  Yes there have....very, very, very few in the last 22 years.  Sorry sheep. Based on patterns from Nintendo's past I'm not holding my breath for a 2007 release for SMG.

With all the recent announcements and the other Nintendo games (BWii, Pokemon, Strikers, HAMMER, Disaster...) this actually doesn't bother nor surprise me..

I still think Galaxy will be around Christmas, Prime 3 will come before Thanksgiving, and Brawl will be here early next year.

Super Paper Mario hit the US 10 days before it hit Japan. Maybe the same with SMG - it's not like they have a lot of text or voice acting to translate even.

But yet America got the DS and Wii before Japan.
Nintendo isn't treating America like some backwater afterthought. A game this big will hit in 2007 in America if it hits Japan in 2007. After all, Super Mario Sunshine reached America only a month after Japan, and NSMB came to America before it reached Japan.

I could have sworn someone made a thread like this yesterday. And everyone noted that SPM came out in the U.S. before it did in Japan.

I can wait for 2008 or even 2009 I rather have Nintendo take their time with the game then trying to rush it before the hoildays but this game has been working for almost a year so I wouldn't suspect this game to be out in 2008 but really I can wait.

Ok seriously someone already tried this the other day and got completely shot down, like you are now.  Big titles like this from Nintendo almost always release in Japan and US very close together.

Yeah, there was a thread like this yesterday. It was a very funny thread and the OP got owned so badly in that thread. I'm surprised anyone would be this naive enough to make a second thread on the same topic :lol:
