Q2 release schedule finally sets a date for the most anticipated game on Wii; WiiWare and Nintendo Channel launch at the end of May.

Nintendo has announced its European release schedule for the rest of the second quarter of 2008, revealing that the hugely anticipated Super Smash Bros. Brawl will finally launch in PAL territory on June 27.

Brawl is expected to be another big hit in Q2 for Nintendo in Europe, following the great success of Mario Kart Wii and preceding the forthcoming Wii Fit. The all-star multiplayer fighter has sold over 1.5 million copies since its February launch in Japan. It had the biggest single month of any Wii game yet upon its release in the US, selling 2.7 million units since its March 9 release.

The release list, which can be seen in full below, also dates the European launch of WiiWare for May 20. The games-on-demand service will go live ten days before the Nintendo Channel, which will provide video features and user feedback for WiiWare games in addition to DS software demos and more.

Unfortunately Brawl will never hit 5 million like Mario and Sonic.

EnnerApril 25, 2008

Darn that crazy Mario and Sonic. What a runaway!

blackfootstepsApril 25, 2008

Hmm, where's Okami?

God, this was only seven hours ago?  I need to go back to bed.

In other news my Brawl in Europe graphic is dead before it ever got used.

Good question. It's not something I want to import due to the boxart stuff up.

ArbokApril 25, 2008

Yeah, they mentioned Godzilla: Unleashed...

Can anyone explain why they mentioned it though with the vague Q1? It was already released back in February in Germany, France and the UK... so is this in reference to some other market in the region that will get the game soon?

I wonder if they will ship the free replacement cover art overseas?
