Update - Nintendo has now responded to the negative feedback from consumers following Reggie Fils-Aime's comments about the Super Smash Bros. Brawl European release. Talking to 1UP, the official response was "A release date for Super Smash Bros. Brawl in Europe has not been announced."
Apparently Fils-Aime purely meant that Europe will receive the game after the US market, rather than in the Autumn period.
Original Story - Smash fans in Europe may just have to wait a little longer if recent reports are to be believed.
According to the 1up podcast Nintendo of America president, Reggie Fils-Aime, was questioned on why Mario Kart and Wii Fit were heading to Europe before the US. Reggie supposedly replied "because they won't get Brawl until Fall (Autumn)".
That said, releases dates have always been known to change, especially with Nintendo's bigger IPs. Hopefully Europe will at enter the battle for a summer season of Smash. Be sure to stick around for confirmation on a European release for Smash Bros. Brawl.

I think we'll have to shoot a few people with a link to this news item - see the sheer amount of response from Euro gamers who want a piece of the Smash pie.
I don't see any reason not to announce a date, unless they're trying to surprise us...

Really though why don't want to give us Brawl NoE?
In regards to them surprising us, its not a bad idea but in what way would they surprise us? "Oh so you all know Brawl went on sale this morning!"?
Who said its nor great being a European gamer?

I really hope this isn't true, but if it is I think that European players will be stuck with a Pay and Play version of the game.

A used NES isn't hard to get. Actually I think I have 3 of them lying around. They all broke down and we kept buying new ones.... but now I know how to fix them.

Nintendo are getting riduculous about releasing a date. It is a lil stupid that a flagship title that has been released in other territories for a lil while now doesnt even have a preliminary date. I just hope Nintendo are hoping to shock us. I think it will be June-July personally, start of summer game like how NEW Super Mario Bros took off.

I implied that the European release of Super Smash Bros. Melee had been moved to the fall of 2008…that’s not quite accurate
Of course not, Melee was released a few years back.
I didn't nope

Didn't Smash Bros 64 need a petition to get to UK? I remember Nintendo didn't want to release it over here at first. Looks like they still havn't learnt that Melee is one of the best selling GC games.

Well you know, either way if you can afford it you really should buy a 360. I mean you can get The Orange Box, Halo 3, Bioshock, Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto IV, Gears of War 2 etc.

I think it'll still be a early/mid-summer release date.
