Smash Bros. Brawl AU Confirmed

After remaining frustratingly silent on the Australian Smash Bros. Brawl release for months, Nintendo has finally confirmed that the game will release on Wii locally on 26 June. That's just a little over a month - 42 sleeps to go.

42 days may sound like a long time now but on the upside there's a veritable library of previews, videos and screens (102 videos and 2018 screens to be exact) available on Smash Bros. Brawl to help pass the remaining days. Be sure to check out our recent Aussie multiplayer hands-on preview.

Of course, we can't help but be a little bitter about having had to endure one of the longest Aussie delays in years. While the majority of high profile games are released within a week of the overseas date, we've been lumbered with having to wait almost five months between the Japanese release on 30 January.

At least we're not as bad off as our European cousins, who will have to wait another day and a half after our release. Ouch.
